The Berkshires have mountain resorts for a fun-filled outdoor vacation

You could say Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort is at the peak of its popularity these days, and it’s easy to see why. The resort features thrilling trails and challenging terrains for skiers and snowboarders, of course, as well as trails for mountain bikers, hikers and snowshoers. But it also has outdoor adventures from alpine slides and elevated ropes courses to scenic six-passenger chairlifts, a zip line, rock-climbing wall and a mountain coaster that zips through the woods. Dining options are plentiful, from the full-service John Harvard’s Restaurant & Brewery to pub food at Christiansen’s Tavern. In the winter, JJ’s Lodge food court, and its patio, can be found by following the armor of cinnamon rolls. On-site accommodations include the Country Inn and, for larger groups, vacation homes in condo communities.
