51 INCHES, JAY PEAK SIDECOUNTRY AND A FEW FRIENDS

51 inches of POW
After looking at NOAA every day last week a group of us decided it was time to head to Jay Peak to rendezvous with a storm that had already pounded  northern VT for a day, leaving 11 inches. This had to have been one of the best days of skiing in my life.  The following pics were all taken in the Dip which is located in the side country to skiers right of Jay Peak.  It features open tree skiing, and some nice drops.

The Dip holds more snow longer and sees less traffic then the inbound glades at the resort.   It is however slightly more involved but well worth it. 
Jump Turn
Avalanche!  Not really!
Tips UP
Steep and Deep
