Jiminy Peak
20-30's - Blue Sky & Sunshine – Heavenly
My first trip there ever...and did the Snow Gods treat me nice!
This place may be in the Mountains of Western MA, it skies like the White Mountains. An excellent range of terrain differences with snow base conditions of true Hardpack and a fluffy layer of powder all over the mountain.
It appears that they manage the mountain conservatively leaving lift line trails closed (when they really could have been open) and rolling the trails the night before.
We skied all day without standing on any lines. We never tried the Summit Six Chair (because it had THE only line). We skied every trail that was open and found all enjoyable. Jericho is FUN and the bumps on it were soft and spaced perfectly. They had a true bump run that is short but deep and challenging. The troughs were a good 24-30" deep and made me work….
They had some of the steep trails open and they were soft snow covered, easily carved and fast. However most of the advance upper elevation trails were closed. That was the only disappointment...but popping in and out of the tree's exposed soft powder.
And they have a PARK which as empty most of the time, however I found it fun.
Although it seems some of the lifts are slow, I found them peaceful, and the mountain trails never seemed overwhelmed with skiers. I liked the Town Line Markers on the lift towers.
And the charges were reasonable, especially the way they count teenagers.
This place is very good, I'll be back when I'm out this way. If you’ve never been there, try it!
