Brian H. Fairbank serves as President and CEO of Jiminy Peak, Inc. Brian has been with Jiminy for 37 years and is a 50% owner of the company. Jiminy Peak is a four-season mountain resort generating $20,000,000 in revenue annually and is the largest ski resort in southern New England.

Within the ski industry there are few who can rival the accomplishments of Fairbank- he is a former Director and Chairman of NSAA and a past recipient of the Sherman Adams award recognizing his devotion and leadership in the industry. Instrumental in forming Mountains of Distinction consisting of 20 independent ski resorts, Fairbank brought an early focus to teaching skiing to younger students. Brian is a lifetime member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America and was an examiner for 15 years.

Environmental issues are always in the forefront of the minds in the ski industry. For decades, Jiminy Peak has adopted resort-wide standards to help sustain or improve our environment for future generations. Two specific projects lead the effort. Arguably, Jiminy has the most energy efficient snow making in North America. In 1990, Fairbank had a clear picture focusing on the snowmaking side of the resort and collaborated on what is referred to as the 'Pentti Head', a patented snow making system. The most ambitious project was installation of the only 1.5 Megawatt wind turbine at a mountain resort in North America, possibly the world. The turbine was commissioned on August 15th, 2007.

Mr. Fairbank serves on the Board of Directors of Berkshire Health Systems and Hospice Care of the Berkshires and has been a Town Moderator in Hancock for over 30 years. He also serves on the board of the National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.
