All year-round, Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort is the place where vacations end way too soon – because there is so much to do! Winter, of course, means first-class skiing over 45 trails and snowboarding in three terrain parks. There’s also a network of snowshoeing trails and excellent night skiing. When it’s not ski season, it’s still fun season in the Mountain Adventure Park, with an alpine slide, mountain coaster, giant swing, rock-climbing wall, trampoline, scenic chairlift rides, a zip line and a playground with a bounce house. Over at the Aerial Adventure Park, climb and zip through the trees as you conquer various challenges like rope bridges, swinging logs and cargo nets. And, you’ll find superior mountain biking and hiking trails as well as loads of different dining options.
