Jiminy Peak, the largest ski resort in Massachusetts, is a fun spot for a family trip or weekend getaway with friends. The resort is best suited to those learning to ski or ride with a single base area and separate terrain-based learning area. Night skiing is available on most of the mountain until 9pm. Outside of skiing, there's plenty to do with an alpine coaster, snow tubing, snowshoeing, and heated pools. The resort benefits from excellent snow-making.

A car is essential to get to Jiminy Peak in the heart of the Berkshires. It's an easy, ~3 hour drive from the greater NYC area and a little under 3 hours drive from Boston. Onsite accommodations include lodges, hotels and apartments. The ski school has top notch instructors.
