We are excited to be back at Berkshire East for our third season. Berkshire East is a tucked away in Western Mass and is quickly becoming one of our racer's favorite stops on the race schedule each season. Berkshire East has a reputation as a great place to ski, but an even better reputation as a race venue among the race community.
