Jiminy Peak

Pros: 40 enjoyable trails, plenty of high-speed and occupancy lifts, good snowmaking
Cons: Expensive (over $50 for a weekend ticket), can feel snotty and snoby

More polished and cultured (and stuffy) than nearby Catamount, Jiminy Peak is one of a series of ski areas that are located throughout the Berkshire Mountains along the border of New York and Massachusetts. The Dirt Jiminy Peak is about 3 ...

Pros: Great trails, lodges, ski school
Cons: Expensive, icy conditions, long lift lines

To think, yesterday I was riding the great trails at Jiminy Peak and today I am at home, well really kind of bored and wanting to go back and ski. Jiminy Peak is such a great place to go if you live in the Northeast and are in need of a great ski trip....

Pros: Best in the Berkshires
Cons: No natural snow = sketchy conditions

I've been going to Jiminy Peak for over 10 years now and have seen the mountain change (mostly for the better) over that period; new trails have been cut, a new summit area added, snowmaking increased dramatically, new lights put up, and new lifts put...

Pros: Good deals if you are a local
Cons: Short runs, gets skied off & icy conditions at night

I've been skiiing at Jiminy and Brodie (which is now owned by Jiminy) off & on going back 20+ years. I live about 40 minutes away so the area has always been attractive because its so close & relatively cheap.

I'd classify Jiminy as a "medium"...

Pros: night skiing,93% snow making,slope-side accommodations,all levels of boarders, bladers,skiers
Cons: conditions change often, overpriced food

While it may be too small for big time Colorado skiers or frequent large mountain visitors, Jiminy Peak's 1000 ft. or so of vertical drop still provides quality skiing, boarding, and blading.

Rentals are quite good, no major defects,...

Pros: ski school
Cons: icy, not a lot of trails

I learned to ski at jiminy Peak several years ago and i thought then and still think now that it is a high quality mid-size mountain. Most any skier will find plenty too be happy about but experts might get a little bored by the end of a weekend.

Jiminy Peak is a smaller ski resort with trails for all abilities located in the Western Massachusettes Berkshires. The lodges are clean yet rustic, and the food sold cafeteria style, overpriced. While skiing is generally an expensive sport, there...

Pros: Not crowded on weekends.
Cons: Conditions, poorly maintained halfpipe, DON'T GO ON FRIDAY NIGHT: High School Ski Clubs flock the mountain.

Jiminy Peak is a fun little mountain not too far from Boston or Albany. Conditions aren’t usually that good in January and February. Sheets of ice sometimes cover half the trail at a time. Jiminy, however, one of the best mountains to take a weekend...

Pros: Location, Night Skiing, Nice People
Cons: BAD LAYOUT, Parking, ICE

Geo's Hot Sheet of the day is the small Berkshire ski area known as Jiminy Peak. Growing up only a 1/2 hour away, and being a regular skibum in my High School days, I'll try to give you the "insiders" look at this resort and major do's and...

Pros: Terrain, good snow fall & proximity to CT/NY/MA
Cons: Food is expensive

All you Skiers and Riders know what that itch is like. They’re forecasting snow! I’ve got to get on the slopes this weekend. Jiminy Peak is my favorite quick fix. I live in CT but to anyone in the CT/NY/MA area, Jiminy is close by. Proximity is by no...

Pros: Variety of terrain, proximity to Long Island, Snowmaking,Grooming
Cons: Food costs are a little high in the lodge, gets a little crowded on a Saturday.

I've been skiing Jiminy for about a year now, and I love it there. I bought a season pass this past summer for a bargain price ($350 for the year!) and have gone skiing every weekend for the past month + there, in addition to most of last season. I...

Pros: Serious about keeping lift lines short
Cons: Spotty parking lot shuttles means a long walk to base, Shortchange/overcharge in bar

I visited Jiminy on two consecutive weekends 1-12 and 1-18-03. They have 2 base lodges, a base tavern, a lodge at the top and a resort hotel at the base. The base lodges had one where you could bring your own food and one you could not. At mid day both...

Pros: good size, many lifts, runs
Cons: --

Two years ago, on a holiday during a weak winter, my father and I decided to go skiing. I had never been, and the time was ticking away, so we needed to find a close place fast. Since there was no natural snow, few of the local Connecticut ski resorts...
