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.
