Jay
With over 50 miles of skiable terrain, 100-plus acres of off-piste routes, and four terrain parks, Jay Peak, located 60 miles from Burlington International Airport, offers a nice mix of options for skiers and boarders of all ages. An array of age-appropriate ski school programs – Kinderski (ages 3 to 5), Mini-Learn-to-Ride (ages 5 to 6), Jay Explorers (ages 6 to 10), and Mountain Riders (ages 7 to 10) – make use of indoor ramps with moving carpets and special “kids-only” ski areas. On-property guests can take advantage of free daycare (ages 2 to 7), part of a package that includes complimentary lodging and lift tickets for kids 14 and under (non-holiday periods only). Tip: If you’re traveling from D.C. or New York City, consider hopping aboard the Amtrak Vermonter, which terminates in St. Albans, Vermont, about 45 minutes from the resort; children ages 2 to 15 are eligible for a 50 percent fare discount and children under 2 ride for free, when accompanied by a fare-paying adult. www.jaypeakresort.com
