As I sit around and wait anxiously for the snow to start falling in the Catskills, I can’t help but feel a little jealous of our neighbors to the North. While the weather down here has got my emotions in a confused state of chaos, Jay Peak has been blessed with almost 45 inches of snow thus far and it is only the middle of November. But are we really surprised, although small in comparison to mountains in the West, Jay packs a big punch. Year after year Jay’s annual snowfall numbers continue to raise the bar here on the East, while holding its own with the monsters of the West. The snow gods have been rather generous to our friends of the North, maybe its time for us to start paying homage to this higher power. But for now I will have to settle for my day trips to the Catskills and dream of what it would be like if I were at Jay.
