New lift is nice, quick to top so can certainly can get a lot more runs in than previous years. Would like to see two feet of snow over the mountain, I feel like tree runs have improved and there are more of them now. Always the pitfall of coming here, which is why everyone who knows the history here knows that it's icy! Breakfast burrito was delicious for a quick grab and go in the lodge. I can see myself coming back to utilize my other two days owed to me. Hopefully more snow

It's not huge but was perfectly fun for our family and I'd love to go back to the area in the summer time. It seems like they have lots of fun things to do in warm seasons too. Definitely will be skiing here again next year!

The trails are gorgeous, challenging and the place has tons of character as does the staff! Definitely worth the drive! Look forward to being able to warm up in the lodge again after hitting the trails hard. Hopefully that will be an option next year. They do a good job of keeping it Covid safe in the meantime.

Prospect is a wonderful place to ski. Though it is farther away for me than places in the…read moreBerkshires, it is worth the ride because, especially this winter, it often has more snow and better conditions. It has an extensive and diverse trail network with a good mix of flats and steeper sections of varying length and pitch. Most trails have set tracks and a groomed area for free-form and skate skiing, and the staff does a nice job keeping the trails in shape. Its history as a downhill facility is evident in the old-time charm of its lodge, a post-and-beam building with basic, comfortable amenities including a hot wood stove and a kitchen staffed by friendly folks. There is a comfortable, relaxed ambience, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

My daughter wanted to celebrate turning 16 by snowboarding with her friends. I initially called a…read morevery popular ski resort in Massachusetts. Their website boasted of offering accommodations for small groups of 15. When I called, I was told that our group was too small for a group rate and even if I had extra attendees because the weekend we chose was a holiday weekend, a group rate would not be available. I then called a popular ski resort in the Catskills, who were less helpful than the resort in Massachusetts. I finally called Willard. The lady I spoke with walked me through the entire registration process for my party. When we arrived, we found very helpful and friendly staff. One staff member even helped me convince my daughter's very reluctant dad to try snowboarding. The staff distributing the rental equipment were equally pleasant and helpful. The snowboarding instructors went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. They quickly individualized lessons according to how quickly our snowboarders grasped concepts. My group left the mountain, with the hope of returning! Thank you staff of Willard for an amazing time and making my daughter's 16th birthday memorable.

The mountain is not too small and not too large so perfect for families with kids. Affordable to actually stay on the mountain which is a must with little ones. Christiansens is a solid restaurant with good food and great beer with the perfect ski mountain atmosphere. The snowmaking team (Team Snowmagedon) knows what they are doing. While other mountains north or nearby are struggling, Jiminy has the good snow. They do well to combat the elements or rain or warmer weather. We always have a great time!!

The lodge is a rustic and super comfortable place where you are immersed in nature. There was no skiing because the snow had melted, but we took advantage of all the trails and did lots of hiking. We also loved the wood-burning sauna. There are lots of games to play. The commercial kitchen has everything you need to cook an amazing meal. We are looking forward to returning when the meals are included bc we have heard they are amazing. The beds are comfortable- but very basic- full sized beds in every room plus a couple of bunks. perfect for a family. Stump Sprouts is a hidden gem in the Berkshires- so close but feels like a different universe! hope you get to enjoy it!

After getting off the highway, I noticed the beautiful Bousquet Mountain was open. I pulled in and to my delight, noticed that they were actually open, as was the tuning shop. Even though they were 1 minute away from closing, the kind gentleman there took a look at my board, gave me a price estimate and took it in for repair. I'll be picking it up in a few days once complete and I'm super excited to have my board tuned up ready to go for the fresh pow!!!

It is a little gem in the Berkshires, with a nice network of well-marked, well-maintained trails, and enough topographic and scenic diversity to give a good workout in a pretty New England forest. The prices are very reasonable, and equipment is available for sale or rent. Bathroom facilities are available in the house, and the B&B dining room is a nice place to take a break between runs on a cold day or settle in for a snack and a cup of hot cocoa before going home. The proprietors, Linda and Dave, are very hospitable, as B&B hosts tend to be. Condition reports are posted on their website, and I have found them to be accurate. My son and I have been there several times, and it is one of our favorite places, well worth the trip for us to get in a fun day of skiing at a nice place with friendly, welcoming hosts.
