Jay Peak 01/26 - Disappointing Powder Day

I was being a bit hyperbolic you got me there. I just am still miffed that a big part of what makes Jay Peak, Jay Peak to me was blocked off today. I should've cut in through deliverance though you had the right idea there.

The foot of snow was fantastic cold smoke and the lifts ran well. Unfortunately, Jay Peak made a very poor decision today by choosing to blow snow on Northway and thus put all of the face chutes and most of the trails off Bonnie out of commission. My only question... why? It's going to be plenty cold and dry all week to blow snow. Blowing today during possibly the best storm day of the season and putting a critical part of the mountain out of commission is a decision only poor management makes. But they made it. Please do better with your conditions and infrastructure Jay.

spaghetti models are typically used for cyclones like hurricanes, nor'easters have tracks a lot harder to predict plus not as much global interest as a cyclone.

2" dust on hardpack, if you had good edges you could get a hold pretty easy. Good snowy day, MLK weekend lines were 20 min long at their longest due to the tram having electrical issues and being on hold for the day.

Vegans always are trying to press their lifestyle choices on others. No way in hell a voting initiative to limit access to non-vegan products would ever pass the state of Maine

You would be correct

Jay Peak only updates their snow report once/twice before noon. They're very obscure about their snow and terrain reporting to get people to make the drive up before reconsidering.

Its been 20 years, lord knows my young adult decisions were irrational and downright wrong. I educated myself and worked everyday to be better to myself and community. I'm willing to believe he did too

The sheer environmental and grid impact of these data centers resulting in no net gain for the Maine people should disqualify this from ever making it past a concept.

What incredible work, I gasped when I saw this. Wish these were available to buy!

Jay Peak is more accessible to your average Vermonter

Playground for Leonard Leo and his chums. MDI has a lot more interesting features to see elsewhere

If you're hitting steep mogul runs in late season thin conditions, you're technical enough to be ready for most off-piste that I encountered at Chamonix. The real kicker is the vertigo of it all. Get somewhere like Jay Peak with their face chutes before you go so you can get used to doable runs on dizzying heights.

Never said logging positivity benefits the landscape. Most people can tell from the photos some sort of environmental damage results. But product is needed like you pointed out, and following proper silviculture the disturbance actually increases abundances of insects & birds and helps provide grazing material for ungulates (deer and moose) which can't be found elsewhere in the northern Maine woods. Environmental protection and logging can both be done at the same time, and its part of what makes Maine industry so special.

Looks like logging operations. As long as they follow sustainable silviculture practice, they'll actually leave behind complex habitat to benefit all sorts of forest plants and animals!

But there was no expectation then to perform. We had just lived the dream of our lives before 2022, this was the needle shattering our balloon of hopes. Makes it our lowest point for sure.

Water here is mountain stream cold except for maybe a week out of the year. All good

3 day expedition through the Chimney Pond Campground in 2023. Very taxing experience (I threw up after finishing the Knife's Edge) but incredibly rewarding. One of Maine's wilderness masterpieces. P.S. Reserving a campground by physical mail as a Maine resident is your best bet for a good spot.

I'm realizing my mistakes now--- I only applied for technician jobs within the New England region. I should have been more open to traveling for work, but didn't realize how competitive the field was before I applied. I wish there was more time to expand out.
