Important Notes
As always, uphill guests need to have either a current season pass or an uphill ticket. There is the potential for winch cats, groomers, snowmakers, and mountain operations to be on the hill.
Route A: Chief (early access only - 6:30 am - resort opening).
Off-Piste Skiing
Off-Piste Conditions are far more variable. New snowfall can bring fresh powder and refresh the surfaces of pisted runs. Changes in weather conditions, such as milder temperatures, rain or wind, can degrade snow quality.
WARNING - skiing off-piste (out-of-bounds) at Berkshire East is not always controlled (slopes made safe from avalanche risk) or patrolled. Before skiing or snowboarding off-piste in Berkshire East, you must assess the local snow conditions.
