Getting to Jay Peak:  Jay Peak is located on VT-242 in northern Vermont. Most of you will arrive via US-91 (most often via US-93). Definitely use a GPS / phone app. Expect that you might lose service along the way. 

Jay Peak's property is split into two sides - Stateside and Tramside. There are TWO entrances to Jay Peak Resort. Most people approach Jay on route 242 traveling west. In that case, the first entrance sign says TRAMSIDE. The second entrance sign says STATESIDE.

Friday Morning 

ROADTRIP! Gear up to drive to Jay, Vermont, just a couple of miles from the Canadian border. Have a solid podcast lineup or road trip playlist ready.  

See the above section about checking in and getting your lift tickets.

Lift Tickets + Skiing Friday:
If you bought Friday tickets, just go to the check in desk and send ONE person per condo inside to the front desk to collect your lift tickets. The first person in your condo will take all the lift tickets for your condo, in a packet. Take a photo of the Lift Ticket barcode! Once you have your tickets, go skiing. They may have an update on what time your condo will be available for check in.

Food and Libations:

Near Jay: If you want dinner as you arrive, we suggest the Jay Village Inn, 10 minutes east of the resort, or the Black Lantern Inn and the Belfry, both 15 minutes west of the resort. 

En Route: If you want a great beer and food stop on your way up, consider Schilling Brewing in Littleton, NH, only about 5 minutes off of I-93. It's about 80-90 minutes from Jay Peak and makes a great pit stop.

For the more adventurous, a trip to Hill Farmstead for beers to-go and Parker Pie for pizza and drafts always pleases.  

On campus, the Tower Bar on Tramside usually has a good vibe. The Bullwheel Bar in the Stateside Hotel is really laid back and open. The Foundry Pub in the Hotel Jay (Tramside) is a little more refined and quiet. Often, the quietest spot of all is Sis Boom Burgers, at the Golf Clubhouse.

Activities: Jay Peak also has a bunch of fun things to do, including: An arcade, a general store, a climbing gym, a movie theater, an ice skating rink, a spa, an authentic Ramen noodle hut, and more: https://jaypeakresort.com/things-to-do/activities

If you bought Friday tickets, you can ski on Friday. Note, this is an Add-on and does not come standard.

Everything you need to know.

All SnowRiders guests aged 18+ are welcome to attend the water park party. When you check in to the hotel on Friday your arrival packet will contain wristbands that will serve as your entrance to the party.

If you plan to ride the Flow Rider, sign the waiver here.

Jay Peak retains the right to search all baggage at the water park. Frankly, they just don’t want anybody to smuggle in alcohol. There is a full bar in the water park! FYI last call will happen relatively early – ask (and tip) your bartenders.

The Water Park party is from 8:30pm – 10:30pm. Plan to arrive right on time. Do not arrive early, you will not be granted access. (A few minutes early is probably okay, just stay away from the water park stairs).

We have ordered shuttles to circulate at 10:30pm from the Hotel Jay (where the water park is). Please be patient.

Shuttles:
Call for shuttles from the condo phones at extension 7777

PACK UP AND CHECK OUT by 10:00am! Ski after!

You must return your keys to one of the resort Hotel front desks. We recommend Stateside Hotel or Hotel Jay.
