Skiers taking Private Lessons at Berkshire East

Tele 101 - Saturdays

The Telemark 101 is a package deal for first time Tele skiers that includes a 2 hour novice lesson, a NTN rental package, and a 4-hour flex all-mountain lift ticket.

*Please note this ticket is not available to purchase on weekends for the general public, and is only available as part of the Tele 101 package. *

Participants, at a minimum, must be intermediate alpine skiers to take this lesson. In a two hour block, guests will learn how to step into NTN bindings and the basics of telemark skiing, such as lead change and controlling the inside ski. Guests may sign up for this lesson twice, with the understanding that the instructor will teach to the lowest common denominator and it is a novice experience. Those taking to the sport quickly on the first day should check out our advanced beginner / intermediate group lessons or Tele Tuesday clinics.

Indy Pass

JOIN THE INDY REVOLUTION

MAKE YOUR INDY PASS RESERVATION

We're thrilled to be on the 25/26 Indy Pass, a ski pass uniting 250+ of the world's best family and independent-owned ski resorts. As a Berkshire East Unlimited Summit passholder, you have the option to supercharge your pass with the “Indy AddOn Pass” to access 2 days each at every partner resort for a fraction of the price. While passes are currently off-sale for the 25/26 season, you can sign up for the waitlist to be the first to get access to the AddOn Pass if it goes back on sale this fall. Sign up for the waitlist here!

JUST ADD INDY!

The Indy AddOn Pass is deeply discounted for Indy Resort Partners’ Unrestricted Season Pass holders including staff, instructors, and ski patrollers. It gives you two days at each of the 250+ Indy resorts plus a third day at up to 25% off. The Indy AddOn pass won’t work at your home resort (since you already have a straight-to-lift pass) and can be a great addition to your winter adventures. 

Purchase your AddOn Base or Plus Pass online at indyskipass.com and upload a photo of your pass or your receipt from your UNRESTRICTED/UNLIMITED season pass. Once the Indy Team has verified it, your pass will be active and ready to go for the winter season.
