Meathead East Coast Skiing Adventure Movies & Films

It was a dark and stormy 2 days at Jay Peak, with snowfall that could only be described as nuclear. Stacey Rachdorf, Dave Watson, and newcomer to the Meathead crew, Asia Magriby, saddled up for back-to-back days of deepness. After 5 years of a Meathead dudefest, we’re proud to announce that Asia is our first female athlete (finally). And we feel pretty fortunate to have met up with her because she absolutely rips. Not to mention she was charging the chest-deep Jay Peak powder while 4 months pregnant!

The first day was sweet, with Stacey and Asia on alpines, and Dave Watson holding it down on teles. We had some fluffy runs in the Dip and Beyond Beaver, but the storm was really just starting to juice up. The second day kicked off with an early rise and early access on the Jay tram.

Riding up with ski patrol, Jay employees, and a few other lucky folks, the vibe was quiet but super energized. You could feel everyone visualizing their run. It was absolutely dumping out and we headed straight up to the saddle to drop into the Pumphouse line and over to Green Beret. After some more woods shots, we made two laps in the backcountry and reaped the glorious rewards.

Our last lap ended in a whiteout and it was almost pitch black. The snowfall was still super heavy and the high winds were picking up the snow on the ground and blasting us in the face. We were definitely the last crew on the mountain and thankfully were able to hitch a ride back to the Jay parking lot with a guy who was initially heading the other way. What a saint!
