Not that close, Jay closer neighbour is Sutton and received maybe 75% of Jay's amount. From up top of some of these mountain, you can see many areas.Although Sutton is 63 miles from Montreal, you can see Mont Royal, buildings from downtown Montreal and the Olympic Stadium if you know where to look.
Mount Mansfield can sometimes (clear sky - less pollution - no smog days) been seen from the top of Mont Royal in Montreal also.

I still don't get it. These areas look WAY more interesting in terms of terrain than anything I read or hear about the Laurentians. And the snow (at least at Sutton) is substantially more.

Go south from Jay (Smuggs, Stowe, Bolton) and snowfall only drops off a little, even though you get behind the Adirondacks at some point. Nothing is between Jay/Townships and Lake Ontario. Lower altitude in the townships I suppose, but it's not that much lower, is it? And is Orford any lower than Sutton?
