Jay Peak and the Jay cloud comes through again! Friday 3/2 brought another snow day from school with ice, freezing rain and rain hitting upstate NY, destroying the great conditions. Headed north in search of all snow and made the drive up the sometime sketchy Northway to Jay. Saturday we were one of the first in line for the Jet lift and got first tracks down Derricks with 6" of powder. The rest of the day was spent lift assisted lapping of the OB diving down towards 242 from the Stateside area. Sunday brought truly insane conditions. It was nuking at the Pass with nearly a foot on the ground when we got there in the morning. We skinned up to one of the most beautiful birch glades around, set a skin track, and did laps as far down as the Catamount Trail. The morning tracks were filled in by afternoon. On our last run we ran into chadh who came out of nowhere and skied right up to us. We followed him down through perfect trees to the steep drop to 242 where I left Kate and the gear for the walk up the pass. Luckily, I was picked up right away. The last two pictures are from Sunday. It was snowing too hard to bother with a camera. The powder streak is alive! Nothing but untracked powder runs in February and the same goes for March so far. Kate is up to 28 days and me 32. At least half BC days and more than half are deep powder days. Whoever says the east doesn't have good conditions doesn't really ski the east.
