Discover Jay Peak
Tucked into the far northern corner of Vermont, just miles from the Canadian border, Jay Peak is one of the most distinctive ski destinations in the East. The mountain is known for legendary snowfall, deep glades, and terrain that punches well above its weight. Beyond winter, the surrounding Northeast Kingdom is some of the most quietly spectacular countryside in New England.
The summit tram drops you at 3,968 feet with views stretching into Quebec on a clear day. Kingdom Trails in Burke is one of the finest mountain biking networks in the country and well worth a full day trip. Lake Memphremagog, straddling the Vermont-Quebec border, makes for a beautiful summer afternoon drive or paddle.
Jay Peak averages more than 350 inches of natural snowfall each season, more than almost anywhere else in the East. The glades are genuine: dense, varied, and in excellent shape when the snow is deep. Strong skiers will find the terrain endlessly interesting, and families have plenty of well-groomed cruisers to settle into. A Red Cottage home nearby gives the whole group a warm place to land after a long day on the mountain.
Newport sits on the southern shore of Lake Memphremagog with a walkable downtown and a character all its own. Montgomery Center, just a short drive from the mountain, is a classic Vermont village with covered bridges and a quiet main street. St. Johnsbury is one of the most underrated small cities in Vermont, with the Fairbanks Museum, a historic art gallery, and a main street worth a slow wander.
Claire’s Restaurant in Hardwick is one of the most talked-about farm-to-table spots in Vermont, with a menu built entirely around local producers and a kitchen that takes it seriously. Parker Pie Co. in West Glover is the beloved local go-to for wood-fired pizza and craft beer in a spot that feels like a true Vermont find. Book Claire’s ahead on weekends. When dinner is done, a Red Cottage home is exactly the kind of place you want to come back to.
