Brian Fairbank, President and CEO of Jiminy Peak, Inc and Brodie Mountain Resort, announced the appointment of Sherrie Anthony to the position of Ski and Snowboard School Director at Brodie Mountain in New Ashford, MA. Anthony is the first woman ever to be appointed to this position at Brodie Mountain.
Anthony began working as a ski instructor at Jiminy Peak in 1989. In the twelve years that she has been with Jiminy Peak, she has been a supervisor for the SKIwee and beginner programs. Most recently, she has served as the Ski School Training Coordinator at Jiminy Peak.
As the Director of the Ski and Snowboard School at Brodie Mountain, Anthony will be supervising over 80 employees. She will be responsible for evolving the Brodie Mountain children's ski school program into a SKIwee program. She will also implement the GETSkiing first time skier program at Brodie. GETSkiing is a program created by members of the Mountains of Distinction that uses the new short ski technology and new teaching techniques to speed the learning process for first time skiers. At Jiminy Peak, the entire first time skier process has been engineered and improved every year to exceed the expectations of first time guests. The same processes and dedication to continuous improvement will be brought to Brodie. Anthony will spearhead these campaigns at Brodie Mountain.
Fairbank said, "We're really excited to have Sherrie running the Ski and Snowboard School at Brodie Mountain. Her skills, enthusiasm and love of the sport are the perfect qualities for success at Brodie."
Anthony was named Jiminy Peak Supervisor of the Year in 1997. She received the Quality Service award in both 1993 and 1995. Anthony is certified as a Level 2 instructor by the Professional Ski Instructors of America, and is a member of the National Ski Patrol.

Berkshire County Homes Celebrating Holiday Cheer
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
There's holiday cheer throughout the Berkshires this winter.
Many homeowners are showing their holiday spirit by decorating their houses. We asked for submissions so those in the community can check out these fanciful lights and decor when they're out.
We asked the homeowners questions on their decorations and why they like to light up their houses.
In Great Barrington, Matt Pevzner has decorated his house with many lights and even has a Facebook page dedicated to making sure others can see the holiday joy.
Located at 93 Brush Hill Road, there's more than 61,000 lights strewn across the yard decorating trees and reindeer and even a polar bear.
The Pevzner family started decorating in September by testing their hundreds of boxes of lights. He builds all of his own decorations like the star 10-foot star that shines done from 80-feet up, 10 10-foot trees, nine 5-foot trees, and even the sleigh, and more that he also uses a lift to make sure are perfect each year.
"I always decorated but I went big during COVID. I felt that people needed something positive and to bring joy and happiness to everyone," he wrote. "I strive to bring as much joy and happiness as I can during the holidays. I love it when I get a message about how much people enjoy it. I've received cards thanking me how much they enjoyed it and made them smile. That means a lot."
Pevzner starts thinking about next year's display immediately after they take it down after New Year's. He gets his ideas by asking on his Facebook page for people's favorite decorations. The Pevzner family encourages you to take a drive and see their decorations, which are lighted every night from 5 to 10.
In North Adams, the Wilson family decorates their house with fun inflatables and even a big Santa waving to those who pass by.
The Wilsons start decorating before Thanksgiving and started decorating once their daughter was born and have grown their decorations each year as she has grown. They love to decorate as they used to drive around to look at decorations when they were younger and hope to spread the same joy.
"I have always loved driving around looking at Christmas lights and decorations. It's incredible what people can achieve these days with their displays," they wrote.
The Wilsons' invite you to come and look at their display at 432 Church St. that's lit from 4:30 to 10:30 every night, though if it's really windy, the inflatables might not be up as the weather will be too harsh.
In Pittsfield, Travis and Shannon Dozier decorated their house for the first time this Christmas as they recently purchased their home on Faucett Lane. The two started decorating in November, and hope to bring joy to the community.
"If we put a smile on one child's face driving by, then our mission was accomplished," they said.
