As the author David Goodman once said, “If steep and deep defines your winter passion, Big Jay will not disappoint.”
This popular mountain is part of the state’s Jay Range and is the second highest peak of the range’s five mountains. It’s also the 13th highest peak in Vermont.
There is no trail leading to the peak of the mountain, and yet there’s still a considerable amount of foot traffic hitting Big Jay. However, the Big Jay truly comes alive in the winter, when the steep and unmarred face of the mountain’s eastern side gets buried under a pearly white layer of snow. Big Jay Truly, this mountain is one of the best spots for backcountry skiing in America’s northeast.
