A short portion of Section 31 between Jay Pass and the Jay Country Store was rerouted in November 2009. The new route is well blazed and a new Section Description will be available here soon. Please refer to the updated map below for trip planning.
Section 31: Jay Pass to Canadian Border
Snapshot:
The first half of this section is a 1000-foot descent through the woods between Jay Pass and Jay Village. It is north facing and gets massive snow accumulation (great early/late snow). The second half mostly follows snowmobile trails on flat, open terrain from Jay village to the Canadian border.
Length: 12.3 miles
Difficulty:
This first half of this section can be difficult and strenuous if you are breaking trail in the usually very deep snow. Farther along there is a series of tricky gullies to navigate. The CT between Jay Village and the Canadian border is easy to ski because of the nearly flat terrain and broad snowmobile trail. Snowmobile traffic can be heavy on weekends so be sure to be alert and ski single file on the side of the trail.
