Jay Peak- "Thirteen" Video

SuperSkiMom
This post was updated on .

Our latest edit filmed at Jay Peak. Commemorating our son's 13th Birthday, on what has become somewhat of a "Rite of Spring". What did you do for your 13th Birthday?

For the last 6 years we have made this journey. Forging north to the edge of Vermont. Visiting Jay Peak has become a family tradition. And whether it is playing in its waterpark, skiing, commemorating our son, or celebrating birthdays, Jay Peak has become a special place. We are fortunate this time to be here to celebrate our son’s 13th.

I think the originating unlikely founders, a teacher, reverend and salesman would be amazed at how Jay Peak has transformed from a single Poma lift with one open trail, to the full fledged destination resort it has become today. Arriving at the summit and looking onto Big Jay, we take a moment to reflect. We warm up quickly on the Vermonter and into what makes Jay Peak the ultimate skier’s destination, the chutes. And glades galore.

We head to stateside (something about the locals) where you can see it's Austrian roots on runs like Kitzbuhel. We break for lunch and fuel up. But quickly head back out and over to tramside, crisscrossing across it's 3 peaks. No day would be complete at Jay without partaking in the fun of the waterpark.

This day is particularly special, as our son, now of age is able to take his rite of passage on “la chute”.

Certainly he will always remember turning…...13.

You never know what to expect...just go with it.

Good one, it was fun identifying all the runs you were skiing.

The waterpark is not part of my Jay experience but I agree with everything else. I hope we can connect there next season.

Never been to Jay. Maybe next year; the water park is a plus for us (unfortunately)

Ha, the kids ski all day long - that is the plan - water park is after 5PM when the lifts are closed.. Noticed the  lifts were not running.. :)

Thank you Sick Bird Rider.

Next season for sure we need to link turns with you and really glad you liked  it. We saved it for this  year - time and interest is always against us. Glad we did as I think our editing has gotten to be way better. Still so much to learn.

@sick bird the hot tub for the parents, while the kids play on the water slides and stuff, and only after a full day of skiing.

Also, I want to mention, I was "recovering" from an ACL rupture in this video, filmed last spring. The woods were not easy for me last year.

Water park is a plus. (But it only "opens" after a full day of skiing) 😉

Thank you!  

Now that we are in Spring and soon Summer - when you need a snow fix, please check out some of our other work.
