WELCOME TO BERKSHIRE EAST
For nearly 50 years, Berkshire East has steadily grown and evolved under the vision and leadership of the Schaefer family. As a year-round resort that remains family owned and operated, the Schaefers are actively involved in day-to-day operations; something that truly sets the experience apart.
Conveniently located in Western Massachusetts, Berkshire East offers a genuine, community-driven mountain experience with diverse terrain for skiers and riders of all abilities. Beyond winter, the resort transforms into an all-season destination featuring Thunder Mountain Bike Park, ziplining, a mountain coaster, and a full lineup of outdoor activities.
Come experience Berkshire East and discover the difference. Authentic, independent, and built for making memories in every season.
