A former vault supervisor at Jay Peak Resort has been charged with embezzlement after Vermont State Police say she stole more than $70,000 from the resort over several months.
Police allege Lisa Gaylor, 41, of Barton, took cash in increments of $2,000 to $6,000 from a secure vault between the fall of 2025 and spring of 2026 while working as the resort’s vault supervisor. Investigators determined the total loss to Jay Peak Pacific LLC was $70,790.
The investigation began April 21, 2026, after the theft was reported. Gaylor was taken into custody on July 22, processed at the Derby Barracks, and released with a citation to answer the embezzlement charge.

Here we go again.
Unfortunately, historical research identifies Vermont as one of the states with the highest per-capita rates of reported embezzlement losses.
Industry studies have consistently found that women account for a majority of these cases, largely because they disproportionately occupy bookkeeping, payroll, accounting, and office management positions.
The typical offender is a respected employee in her late 40s who has spent years earning the confidence necessary to exploit organizational trust.
Sad.
It appears Jay Peak does attract more than its fair share of charlatans.
