Williams College

Jiminy Peak and Prospect Mt. Ski Ares

Williams continues its commitment to providing quality-training facilities close to campus with both Nordic at Prospect Mt. (Woodford, VT) and Alpine training sites located at nearby and Jiminy Peak (Hancock, MA) ski areas.

Jiminy Peak is presently the main training site for the Alpine team. The skiers take advantage of a high-speed six-pack chair lift servicing the race slopes and Jiminy Peak's fine snowmaking facilities on one of the best slalom and giant slalom hills on the carnival circuit. The team also uses nearby Stratton Mountain, Berkshire East, and Mount Snow to augment their training.

The Nordic team trains and races at Prospect Mountain Ski Touring Center on trails groomed to racing conditions daily. Jiminy and Prospect provide easily accessible training sites, allowing the Ephs to host its highly popular and competitive Winter Carnival.

Slalom and giant slalom events are conducted at Jiminy Peak, while the 10K and 15K cross-country races are held at Prospect Mountain.
