Jay Peak Just Hit 400″ of Snowfall This Season—And It’s Still Dumping
Popular Stories
East Coast skiing gets dunked on a lot. While maybe that reputation is well earned-- sketchy, icy skiing is not for everyone-- Jay Peak is Vermont's famous exception. This year, Jay Peak's been doing what it does best— getting absolutely buried. The state's snowiest resort just surpassed 400 inches of snowfall this season, securing its rep as the East’s undisputed powder king. And with March storms still rolling through, that total is only climbing.
The Jay Cloud Delivers Again
The long debated Jay Cloud isn’t pure myth— there's science to explain why the mountain gets so much snow. Nestled near the Canadian border, moisture-laden air slams into Jay Peak’s particularly cold ridge-line and unloads feet of snow while other Vermont areas are only likely to get a mere dusting. This season, that magic has been in full force, stacking up some of the deepest totals the East has seen in years.

Jay officially crossed the 400-inch mark after a powerful Northeaster dropped over two feet earlier this month. Another storm this week could add another foot or more, keeping the powder train rolling well into spring. For context, the mountain’s annual average snowfall is around 349 inches, meaning this year is already one for the record books—with more to come.
