Jay Peak Aerial Tramway Patch (Light Blue) — c. 1970s

A vintage Jay Peak ski patch from Vermont, estimated to date from the 1970s, featuring the red tram car again — hanging from its black trolley on a cable that runs off the top-left corner, over a light blue sky. Pointed shield, navy merrowed border, JAY in yellow block with VT. in white beside it.

One tram, one mountain, one road in from the Northeast Kingdom, and in sixty years Vermont has not built another one. The tram is Jay's single piece of real infrastructure drama, and the mountain has put it on roughly everything it has ever printed.

Fair enough. When you have the only one of something in the state, you lead with it.

Vermont has not built another tram since, and at this point almost certainly never will. The permitting alone would take longer than the original construction, and nobody is proposing it.

Embroidered on twill, merrowed edge. Photos are the condition report.
