Hello,
I am not sure if you are still doing the "Small Areas that Rock" series, but I wanted to put in a plug for Berkshire East, of Charlemont, Mass. I grew up skiing there and the place has survived the bad snow years of the 80's and remains family owned. For Mass, its an extremely fun place to ski and has turned quite a few of incredible skiers (Barry Galvin, USST) and has a ton of charm. The family that owns BE (Schaeffers) have reinvigorated the place with a big zip line program and wind farm. I now live in Breckenridge, CO but the view from the top of the "BEAST" as the locals call, it is really great. My dad has been patrolling there for 40 years (the ski patrol is a whole other story, lots of colorful characters).
Let me know if I answer any other questions I can help with!~
Best,
Marc Burdick
