Snowblind! has a great big soft spot in his hardpack heart for the two resorts we'll look at today, Smugglers Notch and Jay Peak. It was at the former that I learned the subtle art of snowboarding (while simultaneously reenacting the ABC Wide World of Sports "
Agony of Defeat" segment) and grew to accept the magnetic attraction of riding in the trees. Jay Peak, the northernmost resort in Vermont, seems to have its own microclimate up there and as a result, just plain gets more snow (Jay Peak averages over 100 inches more
per season). And that's just plain great.
Pass-wise, these two also offer a substantial discount over our two previous entries (Stowe & Sugarbush):
Jay Peak: $599
Smuggs: $489 (buy before 9/7)
$539 (buy before 10/31)
$599 (thereafter)
Seriously, these two are making a definite play for my season pass dollars.
