Jiminy Peak

[Pennskier]

Hey Guys, Jiminy looks ok for this weekend. What do you think?

Ya know, Jiminy (like Loon) seems to get slammed alot on many ski forums, but I personally like the place alot. It's got some decent pitch for the Berkshires and if it isn't crowded, you can get a ton of skiing in off that 6-pack. Mid-season, if the crowds get bad, you can head over to the Q1 or Widow's quad.

With that said, it still look like the main summit runs will be North Glade to 360/Slingshot or West Way/Grand Slam; essentially the same stuff they've had open for the past few weeks. I think it's a decent half day terrain offering for the area. In fact, I was going to head up there the day after Thanksgiving if all that rain didn't force them to close the terrain from the summit.

So...I would say if you have 3-4 hours available that you would like to spend skiing this weekend, Jiminy is a good option for southern New England...

Don't hold me to this, but this AM's forcast for the Albany area was a dusting to 2" of snow. It's possible Jiminy might pick up some of this.

So far there was only a squall so we'll see what this afternoon brings.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Head up to the Face! Should have 4-5" new by tomorrow and, not to knock JP which isn't a bad place, for the extra 90 mins to two hours in the car, it's a lot more skiin'! or for that matter, hit Gore. 'bout the same drive time and it's a lot more mountain.

Some r*** showers went through the Albany area around 2:00 so I can only hope that higher elevations saw snow.
