Where to ski in the Berkshires

Article updated Dec. 22, 2018, by Dave Conlin Read
Where to ski in the Berkshires, with map including driving directions for all snowboarding, cross-country, and downhill ski areas and resorts in the region. The 2016-17 winter skiing season in the Berkshires promises to be one of the best in recent years, thanks to the pre-Thanksgiving snowfall of Sunday Nov. 20, 2016 which depostited more than one foot of snow in the higher elevations of Berkshire county.
