Butternut, Great Barrington MA

Best to ski this area mid-week. During the weekend it swarms with fashionistas (women and men), the latest in ski gear and abounds with NY accents all of which may be admired during your stay in the lift-line. It's a nice enough place in a quaint location with some great deals on season lift passes if you like to ski with lots of company. One run in particular sticks out in my mind because it is adorned with a massive boulder (a glacier erratic?) right in the middle of the trail. Although I rather like the ambiance of the rock because it gives the fleeting impression of skiing out West, it does scream lawsuit.
