Just got back from Jiminy Peak in Hancock, MA. After the rain and freeze, I was a bit hesitant - but I have always had a good skiing day there after a rain/freeze cycle. With a $35 E-ticket, plenty of sun, and temps in the 20's - it had the makings of a great ski day. And sure enough, Jiminy didn't disappoint.
Later Sunday, the rain did change to snow on the upper 1/5 of the mountain, dropping 1-3" of snow. This area had more packed powder, while the rest of the runs were groomed, a mix of packed powder and granular. Only a few blue ice seepages could be found - it just kept you on your toes. Otherwise, the snow was quite edgeable, excellent for high speed cruising. Only Whitetail was tricky to ski, due to a lot of ice balls, so I only hit that once. Jericho, the steepest trail on the mountain, was in great shape and is an excellent fall line steep cruiser.
I usually ski Jiminy 1-2 times/year, and I usually set a goal of skiing every nook and cranny in one day, including every connector trail. It is a fun way to say that you have "skied the entire mountain". Here's a Google Earth map of the runs today:

Overall, an excellent day - 28 runs, 28,000 vertical feet, and 30 miles of skiing!
If you want to hit up Jiminy, be sure to check out their site for E-ticket deals, as well as Liftopia.

Jiminy has at least a half dozen signed and named trails that are not on the trail map, like the new Joan's Way at the bottom of John Hancok. Most appear to be named after/for important people to Jiminy. At other mountain's they would definitely be on the trail map!
