Snowmaking

Our ski resort prides itself in our snow making capability. All of the guns spread out throughout our ski areas are “Sledgehammers” by SnowGun Technologies that are patented and created in collaboration between Brian Fairbank, the Chairman of the Fairbank Group, and Penntti Nikkanen, a former Skunkworks Engineer. Since installation, our Sledgehammers have drastically reduced our ski resort’s energy consumption while creating a 100% increase in our snow output. With this state-of-the-art technology, our ski areas now offer 96% snowmaking coverage with an average of 3 feet of snow.

Night Skiing

At our ski resort in Massachusetts just because the sun has set doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. Jiminy Peak offers 25 night skiing / riding trails lit up by state-of-the-art LED lights for guests to enjoy.

FAQs

Know Before You Go

What is the average wait time for lifts?
Generally, guests only have to wait a few minutes in line before they can hit the ski slopes. However, wait times may be longer during popular ski times such as Saturdays and holidays.
When does our ski season typically start and end?

We begin snowmaking as soon as the temperatures permit after November 1. Most years we aim to be open by mid-November. We typically start by operating only on weekends and open our ski areas during weekdays as the season progresses. The season generally lasts into the beginning of April.

What is Parking Like At Jiminy Peak?

We offer onsite parking as well as off property parking where we utilize enclosed shuttles to bring people onto property. Our Massachusetts ski resort also offers valet parking on weekends and holidays.

How far in advance should you book your trip, lodging, and lift tickets?

Generally speaking, guests can book their accommodations and purchase lift tickets close to and sometimes the same day of their ski trip. However, there are exceptions for high demand periods like Christmas Week, MLK weekend, and President’s Week. During these time periods, we encourage people to reserve farther in advance as we do sell out and our KIdsRule program, in particular, fills very quickly.
