I wish this terrain were accessible by lifts other than the tram. It gets tedious to lap. On the other hand, the tram keeps this runs from getting tracked out.
Im going there soon and was wondering how you got onto that trail/area. Did you go from vermonter, or where is it even located? Also how much do the patrol care about people going through unmarked areas is it just ski at your own risk or will they get mad? Sick vido tho
Just a 2 weeks ago I was there during the insane 3 foot snow fall and I looked down the saddle and OH MY GOD is it steep that is at least a 60 degree angle.
Hmm ...well I've heard the notch i dropped into on the left referred to as the Saddle. Pumphouse I usually associate with the drop in farther down the ridge on the left past the Saddle...I guess there used to be an actual snowmaking "pump house" over there (?)
@@mybadvideos Correct. The first steep drop in is indeed the Saddle (and, yes, that was a smooth way to ski it (I also dig the elated reaction)). You then wisely traversed across some iffy zones (though there are some fun lines that can be found...) before joining the Pumphouse Chutes (which I've also heard called Radio Shack or Radio Chutes) - if you continue along the traverse, past the Saddle, you'll pass an old, small shed/shack/house of some sort before the chutes properly start. Brings back some great memories of some solid runs and misadventures up in that area...
Wow! Why isn't that a named run? So steep and crazy for the East! Also good job for skiing it really well instead of just stepping down and going super slow like most Jay Peak skiing videos.
I'm guessing that Jay Peak doesn't want to attract extra attention to the stuff on the Face. Personally I think there would potentially be way too many people up there above their ability level, scraping off the coverage and causing a headache for Patrol. Anywhere in there would be a tricky extraction.
