We are excited to be back at Berkshire East for our third season. Berkshire East is 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 racing community.
