Ski Day #16- No Doubt We Crushed The Berkshires (Jiminy Peak, MA)

New Year's Day we headed out to Jiminy Peak. When growing up my family often skied with my grandfather and cousins on New Year's Day. My grandfather is no longer with us, but my father and sister Kendra met up with our cousin James to carry on the tradition.

The rain storm that swept through the east the week before really hit the Berkshires hard, there was not much natural snow. However, Jiminy is did a great job of making snow and had 33 trails for us to shred. The pick of the day was definitely Upper Fox into Lower Fox. This is a nicely pitched run with good man made snow for us to slide down.

One of the best moments of the day though didn't happen on the trails, it happened while getting onto the lift. While waiting in line, we heard the song Spiderwebs by No Doubt come on the speakers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZktNItwexo). While we were growing up, No Doubt was a favorite band of mine, my sisters, and my cousins. It was a nice moment getting to hear this with James while waiting to get on the lift.
