# Current Ski Report for Berkshire East Mountain Resort
Well, well, well – it's ski season in the Berkshires, and the early reports are looking pretty sweet! If you've been itching to get your boards or skis down a mountain in New England, Berkshire East is firing on all cylinders right now with some solid conditions and a season that's shaping up to be a real gem.
Let's talk the goods first. The mountain is sitting at a base depth of 15 inches, which is a respectable foundation to build on as December rolls along. The primary surface is machine groomed and firm, which means you're going to get consistent edge hold and predictable turns. The secondary surface is showing variable conditions, so there's some mixed terrain out there depending on where you venture. Season total snowfall is still accumulating, and the mountain has been leaning hard on its snowmaking capabilities to supplement natural snow – and they're equipped to do it, with the ability to make snow across all trails.
Weather-wise, today's looking partly cloudy with highs hanging around 32 degrees and lows dipping to 20. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is when things get interesting: snow is in the forecast with highs around 34 and lows near 25. Come Wednesday, it'll be partly cloudy again with highs around 34. This is the kind of pattern that makes skiers and snowboarders smile – cold enough to preserve the base, fresh snow on the way, and no ridiculous warm-ups to turn everything into mush.
The mountain's operating on holiday hours today, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with five chairlifts running to get you up the mountain. The vertical drop here is approximately 1,180 feet, which might not sound massive, but it's plenty of fun terrain spread across 34 trails. You've got everything from beginner runs to expert lines, so whether you're just learning or you're a seasoned shredder, there's something here for you.
Here's the thing that makes Berkshire East special right now: the resort is in full swing with a season that CEO Jon Schaefer is calling "a great season for skiing." The cold weather forecast suggests temperatures are going to stay below freezing through the end of December, which means the snow's going to stick around and the season's going to run long. That's music to any skier's ears. The crew at the mountain is fully staffed and firing on all cylinders, with races, live music events, and all sorts of mountain culture happening throughout the season.
If you're heading out in the next few days, bring some layers. The forecast shows it staying cold and dry through the middle of the week before that Tuesday snow rolls in. The wind's light, visibility should be good, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to dial in your turns on groomed terrain. Just remember that uphill access is available on certain routes for early season, though they mention that natural coverage on some uphill routes might be thin in spots from recent rain, so check conditions before you head out.
Berkshire East is open this week with its full holiday schedule, so get out there and enjoy it. The conditions are solid, the mountain is ready for you, and winter in the Berkshires is absolutely spectacular right now.
