Hancock, MA – Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort has shifted gears from winter to summer. The ski and snowboard resort in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts will open its Mountain Adventure for the summer season with two parks in one location this Memorial Day weekend.

Jiminy’s Aerial Adventure Park offers tree top challenges through six different levels incorporating challenges such as suspended bridges, swinging logs, zip lines and more. This season, new challenges have been added to the park including a new blue course for a total of six courses, and new elements including longer zip lines have been added throughout.

Jiminy’s Mountain Adventure Park features a Mountain Coaster, Alpine Slide, Kids Zone and other thrills for the whole family. New attractions for 2012 include the Soaring Eagle zip ride opening at the end of June that pulls riders 800 feet up into the trees before releasing to fly through air. Also new for 2012 are Segway Tours that feature a 90-minute tour of Jiminy Peak starting Memorial Day weekend.

Mountain Adventure will operate weekends and Memorial Day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will open for daily operations on June 9th. The Park will expand hours to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 29th.
