Who doesn’t need or hasn’t, at some point, held out for a hero? If you’re 40ish and of MTV generation stock, you likely immediately connect to Bonnie Tyler and her Footloose anthem, circa 1984. Baby Boomer? You connect to a simpler, less Aqua Netted period and likely look at heroes through a Spiderman, Hulk or Wonder Woman lens. And if you date further back into the greatest of generations, your oldest-school sensibility connects perfectly to Stan Lee and his Flash and Captain America characters. Here? We tilt a bit toward Lee’s Jack Frost, who seemingly wandered the Arctic with no knowledge of his past origins and was made completely of ice. He was fond of protecting innocent bystanders with his wholly un-ironic ice umbrella and ultimately vanished after defeating an Arctic Ice-Worm by sacrificing himself. We like him because of his blue skin and 32-degree ambient body temperature. And our shared lack of love for Ice-Worms. While you won’t find the heroes contained in this summer’s Jay Peak Magazine in an Avenger’s episode or lolling about with the Homo-Mermanus Sub-Mariner (apparently the most short-fused of the superheroes), they’re no less character leads in their own right. Just minus the tights, gilded weaponry and shellacked hair. Check out several words about super-foodie Katherine Sims (page 11), or learn how to properly cultivate a superhero of your own in our Raised Jay Camps (page 15). Get inside a phone booth with Oral Kelly to learn how he brings both of his identities to bear as he manages Jay Peak’s thickly settled restaurant scene (page 10), and learn

why Jay Peak’s own Jack Frost—aka, Dennis Himes— created a camp for future lines of heroic female defensewomen (page 14). In between all this are mild-mannered looks at how to be Jay, how to see Jay and how to Raise yourself Jay—in words, pictures and mildly suggestive illustrations. Our Vacation Planner (pages 33–44) will help you plan the perfect getaway to a spot that feels not totally unlike your own Fortress of Solitude. The archenemy of boredom? Our Pump House Indoor Waterpark. Our music festivals (3rd Annual Jeezum Crow and 12th Annual August West) act as a de facto dynamic duo of summer fun. And while I might not be able to parallel the Hall of Justice with our award winning Championship Golf Course, know that it wasn’t from a near heroic lack of trying. Suffice it to say, you don’t need any form of x-ray vision to see that a Jay Peak summer vacation will put a cape on your back and an S on your chest with the family. There. I’m done. We look forward to seeing you this summer and fall. If you have any questions about booking your Jay Peak vacation, I’d be happy to help. Drop me a line at swright@jaypeakresort.com.

When it comes to making memories on your family vacation, the options are as limitless as your imagination. For the Pinabel family, recent first-time visitors to Jay Peak, their creative interpretation led them to the warm waters of the Pump House Indoor Waterpark, where inspiration bubbled with every wave. “I could think of a million cool things that we loved about the waterpark and that would make us go back,” says Laurent Pinabel, patriarch of the Montreal tribe. “You’d think I got paid to say nice things.” Forfeiting all means of compensation, we polled the Pinabels to find out how, exactly, they preferred to slip, slide and shout their way to water-logged memories.

MYSTERY DINE AMONG US
By Graham Mueller
hat is it about Oral Kelly? He’s always in a suit, never a flannel. You can tell he’s from far away the second he opens his mouth. Everybody calls him when they have a problem, and he takes care of them with a smile. And then some. No matter what. You’ll know your stay at Jay Peak was great, but you might not appreciate how much this man sways your fate.
W
Kelly’s business card says Director of Restaurants, but that belies the hands-on power this man wields at Jay Peak. “My typical day goes from being a director to being a busboy,” he says with an accent that gives away his Jamaican heritage. Kelly is incredibly active around the resort and isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves in his restaurants or elsewhere. The fact that he does so in a spotless suit is the next clue you’re witnessing someone special.
“I live for that one guest that is so pissed off they want to burn the building. When I’m done with them, they’re asking me when they can come back.” The same applies to his outlook on summer. When the season’s over, he’s already looking to get back to warmer, longer days. As much as he loves taking his kids to the parks for basketball and pickup soccer games on idle summer Sundays, you won’t catch him on the snowy slopes. “I’m probably one of the only employees who doesn’t ski in the winter time,” he says gravely. Vermont, after all, is a long way from Jamaica.
“I live for that one guest that is so pissed off they want to burn the building. When I’m done with them, they’re asking me when they can come back.”
The suits mix fashion and function, it turns out—much more than a placeholder for a name tag. “When you walk into a room, your presence must be felt without you doing or saying anything,” he says. He knows he can take on people’s problems, even if they aren’t with his restaurants. One power he relishes most is simply helping people enjoy their time. “In the hospitality industry, we get to influence every moment of the guest’s stay,” he says. If they’re already in a sour mood, he can be their sweetener.
10
Nevertheless, Kelly takes his job seriously. But the way he sees it, his first priority is having a good time. “Jay Peak appeals to that fun side, which is why I got into the business in the first place, and it’s why I’m still here.” It’s an attitude that’s reflected in his suits and his smiles, at Alice’s Table (try the short ribs), and definitely at Jay Peak. “I’m going to give it everything I’ve got until I’ve got nothing left,” he says. And there’s certainly no mystery about that.

Interview by Steve Wright
Katherine Sims, Founder and Executive Director of Vermont’s Green Mountain Farm to School (GMFTS) Program, may not look at herself as any sort of superwoman, but her efforts in bringing local food into light in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom is cape-and-tights worthy by any measure. Here, she muses on how the program took flight and what brings her back to the ground. As an Art History major in college, I had a language requirement and figured Italian was the best connection to that. I was bad at it and figured the best way to improve was to move to Italy and jump in headfirst. It was more like stomach first. Obviously, the food blew me away—certainly because of the quality—but it was more the communal aspect of it. How it brought people together. I fell in love with the process of food. Growing, gathering, preparing, eating it—the entire process was so connectively important within the culture. It had an impact on me. I don’t much care for yogurt, tapioca, cottage cheese. It’s textural and visceral. I’ll still eat them if I have to, but would rather not. Italy turned on a light for me regarding food. Vermont lit up the whole house. I had relatives who lived in Southern Vermont and after working on a small farm in Connecticut during school, I started looking at opportunities in Vermont. Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont sent me a list of farms and I started calling around, trying to find a spot that needed help. Luckily, the Lazors (Jack and Anne of Butterworks Farm in Westfield) needed someone. I did everything from milking cows and picking rocks to reading books and driving tractors. I wrecked a lot of shit driving tractors. I helped launch The Yale Farm Project back at school. It was an urban farm program that helped get local food
into the dining halls and integrated sustainable food courses into the curriculum. It was a beta for the GMFTS Program I created here in Vermont. I collect heirloom seed packets and vintage Pyrex dishware. This isn’t a sentence I would have expected to say when I was younger. If I was wrapped in a truth lasso, I’d be forced to tell you that I have a strong affection for peanut butter cups, Madam Secretary and Pillsbury Flaky Layer biscuits. I’m fine if you don’t tell anyone that. Especially the biscuit part. I’m not sure what my superpower would be but, believe me, my outfit would be no joke. I’d have several outfits actually. Bright colors. Functional boots. Possibly an odd hat. Like a character on Soul Train with strength or x-ray vision or something. GMFTS started as just one afterschool program in northern Vermont. Now we have sustainable gardens at 25 schools and 100 different institutions who buy local produce from us. Lots of superheroes made that happen. You make three really important decisions every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. You decide what you eat. I think you need to make good decisions. Not heroic ones, just good ones. Frosting. I like frosting too.

For the last few years, Maeve and Keaton have become the “chosen ones” of Jay Peak’s product testing, gifted with supernatural abilities to pick apart the resort’s amenities. With every issue of this magazine, the two girls call upon their candid honesty for the sake of the greater good. But being Jay Peak’s official delegates comes with great responsibility, and such heroic efforts sometimes require a bit of R&R. This time, we dressed the girls in their favorite pajamas and sent them to Hotel Jay with a mission to uncover the highs and lows of lodge life. From hallways to hand soap, they gave us the full report on what makes a hotel feel more like home.
“You’ll find decorative pillows on the couch if you’re watching TV, but there are none on the bed.”
“The pillows were awesome for hitting Maeve.”
“You can only stay here if you want to have fun.”
“The beds weren’t bouncy enough.”
“You can do a lot of tricks on the bed. Like karate kicks. Just don’t do a cartwheel or a flip because you could hurt yourself.”
“Housecleaning probably makes, like, 200,000 beds every day.” “You need to have fun, relaxed clothes and pajamas you’re comfortable in. If you’re uptight, it’s not fun.”

“The power to heal. Generally useful, especially with small kids, but also for the zombie apocalypse.” Kim Hewitt, Marketing
“The soap wasn’t that scented. It could have smelled like roses or something.”

“If you want to run in the hallways, don’t wear shoes. Just wear socks. If you have shoes on, I don’t even know how to explain it, but it’s not okay.”
“The luggage cart is a transporter for your stuff. I’d rather have someone else push it because it’s really fun to ride on.”
“Always say thank you and goodbye. If you don’t, they’re not gonna really want you back there because it’s not very nice.”

Filling an ice rink in August is a feat that Ice Haus general manager Dennis Himes is faced with every summer. Last year, Himes had an epiphany. See, the rink’s head honcho is also the father of twin 12-year-old girls who both worship anything stick-and-ice. Himes knew his daughters weren’t the only young ladies itching for a puck camp of their own, so he devised
the area’s first all-girls ice hockey development camp at Jay Peak. The three-night sleepover brought out 50 girls from around the US and Canada. For Coach Sarah Vaillancourt, one of the camp’s two head coaches, it couldn’t have been more successful. “Dennis is a professional at what he does,” she says. “He welcomes us with open arms, he is passionate about the game and he knows how to take care of his people.”
START 7:30 a.m.
11:45 a.m.
Their legs might be tired from the previous two days, but a solid breakfast gets the campers out of bed early.
Cold ice and a hot meal. Campers take a lunch break at the Ice Haus Café and chat about their favorite play of the day.
8:15 a.m.
12:30 p.m.
Coach David Venditti—himself the head women’s coach at University of New England—guides the campers through an off-ice workout to train the body and mind.
Coach Vaillancourt, a two-time Olympic champ, leads a mid-day lecture about teamwork and progression.
9:30 a.m. It’s still early when the girls hit the ice, so Coach Venditti pumps out the positive energy with pep talks and fun drills.
1:45 p.m. With off-ice free time to mix up the day, teams start dialing in their choreographed moves for tonight’s end-of-camp dance competition.
6:00 p.m. …until the smell of a pizza party at the Pump House Indoor Waterpark lures them off the ice.
8:30 p.m. The camp’s success hinges on a final challenge: who’s got the best moves? Teams converge one last time for the dance-off.
10:30 p.m. By night three, the girls are exhausted and pass out before the first round of Truth or Dare even begins.
4:00 p.m. A hockey girl’s job is never done, and round two of rink drills commences…

“The ability to talk to animals and understand them.” Maeve Wright, Critic
By Stephanie Nitsch
If there’s one common trait that exists among all Raised Jay Summer Campers, it’s owning up to a fierce imagination. After all, it’s the most natural instinct when you’re six years old and handed a scoop, a shovel and a magnifying glass and told to hunt for macro invertebrates while wading in a stream. “There are so many outdoor activities that exist, and a lot of it has to do with your imagination,” says Luke Sussdorff, director of the Raised Jay Summer Camps. “We want to inspire kids to take the next step and get outside as much as possible.” The program’s mission—to blend recreation, education and fun—is overtly simple, yet resoundingly successful. Since 2012, hundreds of campers have “graduated” from Raised Jay Summer Camps, heading into tweenage years with a new appreciation for the wonders of the wilderness. But if you think all children are ingrained with an urge to play in the mud or the ingenuity to transform a stick into, say, a magic wand, then think again. “Some kids come here with wilderness deficit,” says Sussdorff. “We learn how to start a fire without matches, and they’ll have no idea they could do that. And if you’re a young kid and haven’t built a fort in the woods, you’re missing out. I’m 26 and I still love to do that.”

The series of weeklong day camps cover the gamut, tapping into the creativity of childhood while prepping for the responsibilities of adulthood. Which is to say: nature hikes, surf and golf lessons, arts and crafts, Tram rides, survival skills and cooking sessions make regular appearances throughout each week— with Raised Jay manifestos cleverly wrapped into every activity. The camp’s biggest life lesson, however, is sage advice for any age. “Slow down, unplug and get outside,” explains Sussdorff. “We wanna get them started on that idea at a young age so they’re not constantly connected with a tech device. That could be as something simple as going on a hike and listening to what’s around you. It’s all about making sure these kids are decompressing outside.”

What does it take to become the (Nine) Iron Man of Jay Peak’s Championship Golf Course? For one superhuman, it requires negativity. As in, negative six under par. As in, the number 66: the course record held by golfer Bryan Smith, Jay Peak’s former snow reporter and events director who’s as adept at calling fore as forecasting flurries.

It takes above-average powers, indeed, to master the 6,874-yard, par-72 championship golf course, designed by Graham Cooke and celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Both Golf Digest and Golf Weekly have called Jay Peak’s fairways the best public course in Vermont. Similar kudos have come from Golfweek, which proclaims it to be “for serious golfers only.”

But really, Jay Peak’s golf course is simply a lot of fun, says Smith. Here, the record-holding Iron Man shares some secrets on what else to stuff in your bag beyond irons and woods to elevate your game. (Hint: “You’ll use every club and face a great challenge,” he says.)
700ft elevation change
52,129 balls lost per year
Remember Visine to keep your eyes clear for the vistas. “First and foremost is the setting. Tremendous views,” says Smith. But crisp vision also helps with deceptive slopes and tricky design features. A sense of direction is key. “When you’re out on the front nine, everything moves away from the mountain,” explains Smith, “so you can have a putt that looks like it’s breaking six inches, but it’s probably going to break more. On the back nine, the West Bowl affects your play. It’s pretty crazy and very unique.”
0 similar holes
13 water hazards “First and foremost is the setting. Tremendous views.”
“You’ll use every club and face a great challenge.”
A FitBit could earn you some bragging rights after it measures your mileage. “The Jay Peak Golf Course has length,” says Smith, “and also elevation and wind. The ski mountain is about 70-percent blue and black runs, and you could use that same ratio on the golf course.” Stay patient though for treats like the granite formation that sticks out on the 15th hole, a favorite for Smith who loves the risk-to-reward factor of Jay Peak. Lastly, dig into some humble pie. “With golfers, there’s a lot of pride, but at Jay Peak, your ego is diminished by the time you turn and grab a hot dog,” he says. “You’ve got to respect it from the start.”

What’s one thing that makes the Jay community go weak in the knees? It’s the sound of Grateful Dead music, rising up from the Jay Village Green during the annual August West Festival. “The name’s from the Dead song ‘Wharf Rat,’” explains Jay Peak Resort’s Steve Wright of the event’s roots. “A dozen years ago, we were looking to create some energy across the summer period, and at the time, there wasn’t much of a music focus to what the resort or community was doing.” In its first year, about 100 people showed up. Today, more than 1,000 festivalgoers make the pilgrimage. But August West remains focused on how music moves people in a remote mountain town just a few minutes from the Canadian border. “There’s a sense of camaraderie that’s born from really having to rely on and support one another,” says Wright of the bonds that bring together the community of Jay—night and day, season by season. So when summer comes around, the tight-knit town knows how to let loose. What else might be making some Northern Vermonters melt this next August West, celebrating its 12th anniversary on August 13, 2016?

It starts with some tie-dye paint, kept in squeeze bottles for instant kaleidoscopes that evoke the spirit of Jerry Garcia by means of Rick Redington and the Luv—a Rutland, Vermont-based band that’s been the anchor act since Day 1—as they play such classics as “Friend of the Devil,” “Scarlet Begonias” and “Franklin’s Tower.” Then those colorful t-shirts start swirling as denim overalls and sundresses join the mix, along with plenty of bubbles into the Vermont August sky. Adults, meanwhile, are practicing their yoga headstands, hula-hooping or just hooping it up with old friends. Let’s not forget the four-legged friends. “We invite harmonious dogs to hang out,” says Wright. “Dog harmony is always nice to see. No teeth gnashing or posturing. Happy dogs are nice.” Local Sally Rivard has ridden her bike a couple of miles to August West every year since it began. She trumpets the music, the free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and the feel-good vibe as the aspects that make her feel like Wonder Woman. “The most fun I ever had at an August West Festival,” she says, “was walking around meeting people. It’s laid-back, community fun, and it just makes you smile the whole time.”

For two days in late July, the 3rd Annual Jeezum Crow Festival brings in an assemblage of animated characters to Jay Peak’s premises. Upwards of 1,500 avengers descend upon the Stateside Amphitheater, dispensing a hotbed of supernatural talents like polychromatic t-shirt hypnotism and interpretive dances that materialize
with every jam band set list. For many, these habits are gleaned as a result of assimilation by cultural appropriation— influenced by an original cast of festivalgoers that unite from one year to the next.

For many years, professional photographers have saved newlyweds from the bride’s second cousin’s girlfriend’s crappy photos, one 64 GB SD card at a time. But with the advent of pocket-sized darkrooms, no longer are they the only picture takers in the game. A wedding photographer will undoubtedly triumph over a wedding guest’s iPhoneography time after time, but your hashtagged gems can easily become the crowd-pleasing sidekicks to an album of top-notch pics. Local Jay Peak photographer Kat, of Kingdom Wedding Photography by Kat, explains that the dynamic duo— the melding of the professional and the amateur—can, in fact, work together to complement each other’s skills.
“Mind Control. Our Trip Advisor scores would go through the roof, plus I would always be right.”

Shapeshifting perspectives
Stretch, deform, crouch or flatten. Some of the most creative shots require getting malleable, giving a shift to your eye-level vantage point. Develop your bendy-ness by lying down, kneeling on the ground or climbing a staircase for an unexpected angle.

Develop an extraordinary ability to perceive your spatial awareness in order to avoid photobombs from exit signs or Honey Buckets (or photobombing the wedding photographer yourself). It’s a skill that can be mastered as easily as taking a step in a different direction.

There are powerful stories behind life’s little moments and reactions that require a sharp set of eyes. Morph into the proverbial fly on the wall and pay attention to the smallest of gestures, like the couple’s hands cutting the cake or a fellow guest wiping away a tear, which uncover a more intimate story.

For wedding venue and planning info, visit jaypeakresort.com/weddings.
Use the terrain at Jay to your advantage. Climb a rock, hide in a tree or ride the Tram to capture sweeping aerial photos. Or use that perspective to reveal candid, behind-the-scenes moments that no one else has access to.
A good photo doesn’t need much editing, but your camera’s flash can be your best defense against black silhouettes or underexposed subjects. Just know that an iPhone flash has a reach of six feet, so keep your distance in mind.
While many superhuman powers can be learned and mastered, the art of time travel is harder to manipulate. When in doubt, put down the camera, party in the present and leave the important and iconic shots to the hired heroes. 23

GOLF Come play the nicest course in Vermont
GET INTO THE SWING OF THINGS Fore the love of the links Our course, of course, is nice, because we say it is. Plus Golf Digest and a bunch of other magazines perennially rank us as the best public course in the state. But all the news that’s fit to putt can be found on our fairways. Multiple tee boxes mean the course can be as challenging or as approachable as you feel you’re ready for, and our rates are less than places down south that think even more of themselves than we do. And, clearly, that’s saying something. LODGING COUPON BOOKLET SAVE $25 on 1 hour of golf instruction.

Your Dreams Are Our Job !
sub5racing.com presents.....
A bedtime story for TRAIL RUNNERS Then after many years a skier was visiting Jay Peak in May and saw many trails without snow. (the skiing was still epic in May , btw) . He went back to his car and traded his skis & boots for some trail running sneakers and actually started RUNNING on the trails!
Once upon a time....in the dark ages (aka ...the pre tram days) the idea of the Jay Peak Trail Running Festival was born by 2 unknown NE Kingdom settlers.
After many years, the Jay Peak Tram was built and people started focusing on simply going DOWN the mountain on skis. The idea of being on Jay Peak without skis seemed to have been forgotten forever.
Disclaimer: We here at sub 5 racing are tram lovers...not haters.
The actual trail shoes used and the actual trail that was first run.
And thus in 2011, The Jay Peak Trail Running Festival was born. Now, every Labor Day Weekend, 100's of trail runners of ALL abilities enjoy Jay Peak without skis & run all over Jay Peak .....and they lived happily ever after.
Trail runners living happily ever after.
