Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Use 830 Jay Peak Road, Jay, Vermont for the resort, then follow signs to Tramside or Stateside according to your lodging, lesson or rental booking. Burlington is a Vermont airport option; Montréal offers a Canadian alternative with an international border crossing. Check the crossing’s current hours, required travel documents and your rental-car terms before choosing that route.

Arrange a rental car or an advance resort transfer around the flight and your group size. Ground transportation is booked ahead rather than an automatic airport shuttle. Allow extra time for winter roads, traffic and any border delay.

The final approach is mountain driving. Choose a winter-ready vehicle and check road conditions before departure. Buy groceries and fuel along the way if you are staying in a self-catering unit. Once at the resort, use the base map and available internal transport instead of assuming every facility is beside your room.

WHERE TO STAY
