SEASON’S PASS UPDATE FROM BERKSHIRE EAST / CATAMOUNT

Dear Seasons Pass Holders and Friends,

As I am sure that many of you have seen, on March 12, 2020 we made the decision to close Berkshire East and Catamount Resorts for winter operations due to the Coronavirus.

On that day we chose to lead the ski industry into its early close. Believe me when I tell you that decision was one of the hardest decisions we have ever made.

Why? We believe skiing is the greatest sport. Skiing is freedom. It is a way of life. The sport of skiing provides all users a sense of adventure that is irreplaceable elsewhere in their lives. This sense of freedom and adventure is what we have built our business on.

But, as we have all learned, it is not appropriate in this crisis.

While external forces made us hit stop on our winter operations as well as pause on getting ready for summer operations, we want you to know that we are leaning into this disaster.

We are currently working hard to not only preserve our business, but to grow it for our communities, for our employees and our guests. We will work safely and responsibly, by following the rules set forth by government, but trust me when I say that we will keep working and we will do our best to keep our communities at work.

We promise you that in the way we led the industry into its voluntary shutdown that we will lead it back out.

We move fast and aggressively because we are passionate people running two independent mountains who are committed to great experiences. That is why we built the wind turbine, the solar field, the bike park, all the crazy renovations at Catamount, the acquisition of Zoar and the other cool things that we keep finding ourselves getting into.
