How will El Niño affect Jay Peak in winter 2026-27?

In the three strongest El Niño winters on record ('97-98, '15-16, '23-24), Jay Peak averaged -6% versus its own 30-year snowfall baseline. Not a warning — a scheduling note. El Niño winters here tend to start slower and reward the late-winter core, when the base peaks and the El Niño headlines have pushed the crowds elsewhere. Aim February–March for winter 2026-27. Analog winters: '97-98 -1%, '15-16 -36%, '23-24 +19%.
