Lanesborough
is a small town located in the Taconic Mountains of northwest Massachusetts. The Jiminy Peak mountain summit and ski lodge is located in Lanesborough. The permanent population of the town is about 3,000, but many tourists visit the town in both summer and winter. U.S. Route 7 is the main thoroughfare in the town of Lanesborough, and regional bus and air service can be found in nearby Pittsfield. The closest large airport is the Albany International Airport. Lanesborough is most well-known for being home to the Jiminy Peak ski resort and lodge. Jiminy Peak offers 45 trails and nine lifts for skiing and snowboarding. It's not just for wintertime activities, however, but also a summer resort park, as well. Some of the things to do include a mountain coaster, alpine super slide, giant swing, mountain biking and hiking. Jiminy Peak's mountain coaster takes you on twists and turns through the wooded mountains - at the speed that suits you best. The alpine super slide, the first in the country, also lets you control your own speed, as you glide through tunnels, curves and turns. Jiminy Peak also has Segway tours, zipline rides and an aerial adventure park. There's a country store on the peak that sells wine and beer, sandwiches, souvenirs, as well as unique items like maple syrup and specialty teas. You have your choice of eateries on the mountain, too, including fine dining and a restaurant at the summit lodge (open only during the peak skiing season.) Jiminy Peak also offers 15,000 square feet for meetings, conferences, weddings, receptions and other special events.

Lanesborough Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Western New York, including The Berkshires, has a moderate four-season climate. The first significant snowfall usually occurs in December, but it varies from year to year. Some years there is no snow or ice until after the first of the new year, and the temperatures near The Hudson River stay quite mild. March is the month to look for the first signs of spring, although cool temps can linger throughout the month. Summers are hazy, warm and humid. September can be mixed with either clear, cool Canadian air or humid, warm air with intense downpours. October is possibly the most beautiful month in the Berkshires with warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. Perfect weather for enjoying the foliage. Typically, colors peak the first three weeks of October.
