Jiminy Peak
 |
Located in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, Jiminy
Peak is a destination resort with plenty of activities for
everyone. Aside from great skiing and riding, you'll find
ice skating, child care and activities for kids as well as nightlife
for the grown-ups. They have a high speed chair lift that
fits 6 people across and zips you right up the mountain. |
With
43 trails, eight lifts, night skiing and plenty of snowmaking,
Jiminy offers something for all abilities. They have a
great ski school with superb instructors, making it a great place
to learn to ski.
Roughly equidistant from New York City and Boston, Jiminy Peak's
strength lies in its accessibility and great family programs. Throw
in growing lodging options and this season's base-area additions,
which have doubled the size of the village, and Jiminy makes a
supremely doable weekend jaunt. This season, the curtains
come up on two new facilities, the 10,000-square-foot Burbank Children's
Center and the 8,500-square-foot Paul Major Welcome Center. The
new additions compliment the layout of the old village, forming
a courtyard that resort planners envision as a picnic spot on sunny
spring weekends.
Boston Culinary Group and Jiminy Peak are old friends. We took
over the food and beverage program from an in-house operator in 1970
and never looked back. Our services encompass several ski lodges,
catering services for conferences and weddings, and a year round
full service restaurant. We have taken part in the development
and construction of three new facilities during our tenure. Jiminy
continues to grow to meet the ever increasing numbers of skiers who
visit the area, which now reaches over half a million annually. We
employ more than 250 people at Jiminy, with very little annual turnover. General
Manager Bruce Sargaent has been there for more than 30 years.
