Jiminy Peak 37 Corey Road, Hancock jiminypeak. com
At Jiminy Peak, the après ski scene kicks into high gear with the Peak Music Series, featuring live music in Christiansen ' s Tavern every Friday and Saturday night. Bringing in the tunes are local favorites like Jack Waldheim, the Hot Shot Hillbillies, and more, while skiers and riders unwind after a day on the mountain. For those looking for a quieter post-slope experience, John Harvard’ s Restaurant & Brewery, located on the third floor of the Country Inn, offers a more refined setting for dinner and drinks. Jiminy also keeps the winter thrills going with its Mountain Coaster, operating on weekends and holiday weeks. And for those who just can’ t call it a night, twilight skiing and riding continue until 10 p. m. daily.
Check the full events calendar, includings’ mores nights, family fun, movies, and more on Jiminy Peak’ s website.
Otis Ridge 159 Monterey Road, Otis otisridge. com
Looking to start a new family tradition? Otis Ridge is introducing the Otis Ridge Race League, a bowling-style league built for the slopes. Teams will compete against each other every Sunday night in two categories: family racing, where families can create teams to face off against other families, and corporate racing, where local businesses go head-to-head. In addition to winter activities, The Grouse House, located at the base of the ridge, offers drinks and casual dining. Winter hours are Wednesdays to Fridays, 4 to 9 p. m. and Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 9 p. m. Save the date for November 1, when the lodge will host a haunted house, offering a spooky start to the ski season.
Whether you’ re celebrating a full day of first tracks or simply showing up for some fireside fun, the après ski scene in the Berkshires offers something for everyone. From local libations to lively tunes and everything in between, it’ s proof that winter fun doesn’ t stop when the chairlift does. Check your local resort’ s schedule and carve out time for a different style of fun, one that starts once the slopes close. n
