Earlier this June, leaders from across our three mountains came together for the 3 Mountain Summit, a multi-day event focused on collaboration, learning, and shared success.

Over the course of three days, beginning Monday afternoon, continuing through a full day on Tuesday, and wrapping up on Wednesday morning, teams gathered to exchange ideas, review priorities, and align on goals for the seasons ahead. 

The summit provided a valuable opportunity to step back from daily operations and take a broader view of what’s happening across our sister resorts. Through group discussions and breakout sessions, participants shared strategies, highlighted initiatives that are working well, and openly discussed challenges and lessons learned. 

One of the most impactful aspects of the 3 Mountain Summit is the ability to learn from one another. Each resort brings its own strengths, ideas, and experiences to the table, creating an environment where collaboration leads to innovation. By sharing both successes and opportunities for improvement, teams can build on what works and continuously refine their approach.

At the same time, the summit reinforces something equally important: while we collaborate as one group, each mountain maintains its own unique identity. The goal isn’t to duplicate, but rather to adapt ideas in a way that fits each location’s culture, team, and guest experience.

The momentum from the summit doesn’t stop when the meetings end. As follow-up conversations continue and key initiatives are developed, the insights gained during these sessions will help drive progress across all three mountains throughout the year.

Overall, the 3 Mountain Summit once again proved to be a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when teams come together with a shared focus, learning from one another, supporting one another, and continuing to grow stronger together.

In today’s digital world, we all rely on online accounts more than ever—whether it’s for banking, shopping, social media, or work-related tools. With so much of our personal and financial information connected to these accounts, taking a few simple steps to keep them secure can make a big difference.

This month is a great time to pause and think about your digital habits, especially when it comes to passwords and account protection.

Start with strong, unique passwords

One of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself is by using strong passwords. A good password is more than just something you can remember; it should also be difficult for someone else to guess.

Consider using:

• A mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

• A longer passphrase instead of a single word (for example, a short sentence or phrase)

• Different passwords for different accounts (so one breach doesn’t impact everything)

Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Whenever available, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security. This means that even if someone gets your password, they still need a second form of verification, like a code sent to your phone.

Many apps already support this, including:

• Banking and financial apps

• Email accounts

• Shopping and subscription services

• Workplace systems

Taking a few minutes to turn this on can significantly strengthen your protection.

Stay Alert and Aware

A big part of staying safe online is simply being aware. A few quick habits can go a long way:

• Be cautious of unexpected emails or messages asking you to log in or share information

• Avoid clicking links from unknown or suspicious sources

• Keep your devices updated with the latest security patches

• Log out of accounts when using shared or public devices

Protecting What Matters Most

Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated. By building a few good habits, strong passwords, extra verification, and awareness, you can better protect not only your own information, but everything connected to it.

Think of it as part of your everyday routine, just like locking your car or your front door. Small actions add up, and they help keep your digital world safe.

13 Nights is back this fall with a fresh approach to fear. This year’s experience moves away from heavily themed rooms and instead leans into a more raw, industrial atmosphere. Think darker, more open, and less predictable. By focusing on lighting, sound, and actor interaction, the team is creating a continuous, immersive environment designed to keep guests on edge from start to finish.

This shift gives our actors even more opportunity to shape the experience in real time, making every night feel a little different and a lot more intense. Pat Boudreau has been working for quite a while now on the base experience, and the top one is still TBD, but we know that he and his team will deliver a scary experience.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, we’re also officially hiring for 13 Nights. If you know someone who loves Halloween, thrives in a high-energy environment, or wants to be part of creating something truly unique, encourage them to apply. Passion and enthusiasm go a long way in making 13 Nights unforgettable.

On June 29th, Jiminy Peak employees came together for a lively and memorable Employee Picnic that truly captured the spirit of our team. This year’s celebration embraced a fun and nostalgic 80’s theme, transforming the event into a vibrant throwback filled with music, color, and creativity.

From the moment employees arrived, it was clear that the goal of creating a festive and engaging atmosphere had been achieved. Team members embraced the theme with enthusiasm, showing up in bright colors, retro styles, and plenty of 80’s flair. The highlight for many was seeing our very own Brian Fairbank fully join in the spirit of the day by dressing up for the occasion, something that brought smiles across the entire event and reinforced the sense of connection across all levels of the organization.

The picnic provided a great opportunity for current employees and also employees from different winter departments to come together, relax, and enjoy time outside. Conversations flowed easily, laughter carried across the resort, and the sense of community was stronger than ever. Activities and entertainment added to the energy of the day, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Behind the scenes, a great deal of coordination went into making the event successful, including managing RSVPs and ensuring a smooth experience for attendees. The strong participation reflected just how much our team values opportunities to connect and celebrate together. The HR Department would like to thank everyone who helped make this a reality, and everyone that volunteered their time that day to ensure the celebration went smoothly. 

Overall, the Employee Picnic was more than just a summer gathering; it was a reflection of Jiminy Peak’s culture. The energy, creativity, and participation demonstrated what makes our workplace special: a team that works hard, supports one another, and knows how to have fun along the way.

Earlier this month, Jiminy Peak successfully hosted another edition of the Lift Maintenance Seminar (LMS), one of the most important educational events in the ski industry. From April 13-16, our mountain welcomed more than 400 lift maintenance professionals, mountain operations leaders, suppliers, and regulators from across North America.

For those not familiar, LMS is not a small event. This was the 49th annual seminar, and it sold out. Attendees came here to learn, share ideas, ask hard questions, and leave better prepared to keep lifts running safely and efficiently at their home resorts. Topics ranged from lift mechanics, electrical systems, and control circuits to safety, documentation, mental health, and staff retention. In short: everything that keeps our industry moving… literally.

Once again, Jiminy Peak was the host of the event, just like it has been for the past few years. This meant our teams got to shine, highlighting the property and showing off our operation to folks from all over the continent. The feedback was spot on: everyone said the event was well-organized, friendly, and made a real difference.

LMS is known for its collaborative nature, and that spirit was on full display. Sessions weren’t just lectures, they were conversations. Roundtables sparked real discussion, problem‑solving, and knowledge‑sharing across ski areas of all sizes. People didn’t just attend, they participated.

Hosting an event like LMS takes effort, coordination, and teamwork. While much of the work happens quietly, it’s worth recognizing that opening our doors to an industry‑wide event like this reinforces Jiminy Peak’s reputation as a respected and trusted operation.

To everyone who helped make LMS 2026 a success -thank you! Whether you were directly involved or simply helped keep things running smoothly during a busy week, you played a role in showing what Jiminy Peak is all about: professionalism, collaboration, and pride in what we do.

We’re grateful to have been part of this year’s seminar, and proud that, once again, Jiminy Peak helped move the industry forward.

 This month, we want to recognize Craig Hadley, a groomer who has been part of Jiminy Peak for more than 35 years. Recently, we presented Craig with a plaque to say thank you for all his work throughout the years, and while a plaque is nice, it still doesn’t fully capture the impact of everything he’s done here.

If you’ve ever skied or ridden first thing in the morning and thought, “Wow, the mountain looks great today,” there’s a good chance Craig and company had something to do with that. Grooming is one of those jobs where, when it’s done right, most people don’t even think about it. That’s not because it’s easy, it’s because it takes experience, patience, and a lot of care.

Craig is one of our most seasoned and knowledgeable groomers. He knows this mountain inside and out. Every trail, every slope, and every condition. Years of experience have taught him when to be precise, when to be patient, and when to adapt. Snow changes, weather changes, equipment changes, but Craig has seen it all.

Over the decades, Craig has been a steady, reliable presence behind the scenes. While most of us are sleeping, he’s out there with the rest of the crew shaping the surface that thousands of guests and employees enjoy every day. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s essential, and Craig has done it with consistency and skill year after year. So much so, that we often get praised, not only for the quality of the snow, but also for how well groomed it is.

The plaque we gave Craig is a small way of saying thank you for his dedication, loyalty, and craftsmanship. His work has helped define the Jiminy Peak experience for generations of guests, whether they know his name or not.

Craig, thank you for over 35 years of hard work, expertise, and commitment to this mountain. We truly appreciate everything you do, and the difference you continue to make every single day.
