Jiminy Peak
« on: August 28, 2011, 11:54:33 AM »
Anybody been to Jiminy Peak?
What are the accommodations like? Is there a lot to do there? We're planning a family trip there for the end of this week so any info on deals and things to do is greatly appreciated?

Once went extreme mountain biking down jiminy peak in the summer... almost killed myself. twice. Wouldn't recommend for kids (or adults for that matter).

Unfortunately, can't speak to the accommodations because we just made a day trip...

was there last week. very nice. jiminy peak resort has hotel rooms which are nice (i think they are all suites) as well as having villas which i didn't stay in so can't comment. there is a minyan on premises as well as a pizza/falafel shop run by the local chabad.

Personally I would say max two days, but yes it was very nice. If Albany interests you at all you can hang out there for a day. I think it's about 45 min away.
