Jay Peak Ski Area - Jay
NVDA has played a part in the history of Jay Peak as a recreation area. In the 1950's, when Jay Peak Ski Area was an idea in the making, NVDA campaigned to connect the "missing link" between northwestern and northeastern Vermont and hence the Jay-Richford road was created between Franklin and Orleans counties. This paved the way for businesses and customers alike to access the majestic area. Today the Jay Peak Ski Area is a four season resort with a newly constructed golf course enhancing the recreational opportunities.
