A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I went with my 2 sons and his 3 friends, from Mahopac NY. We had a great time. Short lines, availability of food and beverages. 6 person chair lift was ideal. Nice patio with fire place. 110 miles, less than 2 hour drive. We will reminisce about the good time we had today.

Super friendly staff who are very efficient and professional. The ski instructors have been great for both private and group lessons. Sometimes gets very crowded for the lift on the cricket slope if you are a complete beginner (because of so many ski lessons), so aim to get onto the mountain as fast as you can! Always really enjoy it here -- busy, but much less crowded than some other ski resorts in the area.

Overall a good place to go less than an hour from Albany NY. Will come again.

It’s becoming more and more like a money grubbing Gestapo state. Completely empty lodge during the week and you have to lug your bag to another lodge and down the stairs to a locker area. For older people and those with younger kids this is a major inconvenience. Instead of moving forward with the logistics and customer satisfaction they are making it more and more difficult to enjoy your ski experience despite the increase in ticket prices

If I could, I would give Jiminy zero stars. My son was skiing there today and went in to eat a quick snack. When he came out his skis were stolen. He went to talk to security and they had him fill out a missing/lost ski report. I called Jiminy and asked if they had cameras to which they said yes and no they don't really work. Turns out when I called the local police department the person who answered the phone told me the same thing happened to her last year. She advised I call the State Police. After talking with them they said it happens a lot at Jiminy. He wasn't surprised. I would highly recommend you don't ski here. There's a good chance you'll have your stuff stolen. I've been skiing over 30 years all around the Northeast and never had anything stolen. So disappointed in Jiminy, don't ski here. Ski gear isn't cheap and they obviously don't care about the security of their guests.

Love this place

For a smallish mountain, it has a big mountain feel. If all terrain and lifts are open, you will have a great ski day. If the left side upper lifts are closed, the lines will be a problem. I skied with my three teens that are used to bigger mountains and they were impressed. Some really nice runs for advanced skiers, like Jericho. Downside is parking. They have a valet service that takes up the upper lots. It’s a long walk from the lower lots!. The lessons and programs for young kids are very good, according to some fellow lift riders. Oh, yes, the big lift is a six seat chair! Friendly resort.

This is a great place to come especially if you are learning how to ski or if you are right above that level. There are several trails that are great for learning.
