It's just not a real resort. No matter how many time shares they put up there. It's an OK daytrip cause it's close but it's nothing special. They have a coupon they give away at the Snow Expo that comes in handy. |
Have you been to Jiminy recently? With all of the expansion., 6 pack lift, the place feels like a mini-Stratton. Have you stayed there? The accomdations are top notch, just as you would see at Stratton. It is not Stratton, but Jiminy is a resort and not a "wannabe" resort.
I have been there during crowded times, Jeep day 2004, as an example and that 6 pack moves people to the summit rather quickly. The line may look intimidating but it moves fast.
The parking lot seems to show a lot of NY, CT and NJ drivers and there is a good quantity of MB, Volvo, BMW and SAAB. I have seen at least 1 Bogner product per 20 or so skiers. Again, it is like a Stratton of the Berkshires.
