About

The hill drops 400 feet through 11 trails served by a double chairlift and three surface tows, with terrain split roughly evenly between beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs. Operating since 1946, it nearly closed to foreclosure in 2016 before Ski Butternut bought it and folded it into its Berkshires portfolio.
