JAY, VT ??\u0432\u0402\u045c In 1955, a group of local businessmen founded Jay Peak and in their first year of construction they installed a Poma lift that accessed a few runs on what is now known as Stateside. Today, the resort, boasting 76 trails and glades, 8 lifts (including Vermont’s only aerial Tramway) and soon, an 18-hole championship golf course, is visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year. On Saturday, January 8th, 2005 Jay Peak will be celebrating its 50th anniversary and hosting a golden jubilee gala at the resort.<\/p>\n
This special celebration will be held in the International Room and the evening will begin at 6:00pm with a cocktail party featuring Harold Haynes, founder of Jay Peak; Eva Foeger Duvillard, daughter of Walter Foeger, first General Manager of the resort who also developed the Natur Teknik; Jacques H?\u0412\u00a9bert, Chairman of Mont Saint-Sauveur International; and Bill Stenger, current General Manager of Jay Peak.<\/p>\n
“We’re going to bring the founders of the resort together with those who will be responsible for taking Jay into the future,” said Bill Stenger. “It will be a very special evening and I’m really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n
The cocktail party will be followed by dinner, a Jubilee fireworks display (9:00pm) and dancing to tunes performed by Big Band 2005. The cost of the evening is $50 US per person, which includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, dinner, a Jubilee commemorative photo, a souvenir CD and an evening of great entertainment and remembrance. <\/p>\n Those wishing to attend Jay Peak’s special Jubilee Celebration, can purchase tickets online at jaypeakresort.com<\/a>, by calling 802.327.2215 (8:00am to 4:00pm daily), or in person at the Customer Service office at the resort, located on Tramside.
