From Skis to Bikes: Berkshire East's Seasonal Shift to Summer Adventure

Ski Report for Berkshire East Mountain Resort

Daily Ski Conditions for Berkshire East Mountain Resort

Welcome to the latest inside scoop on Berkshire East Mountain Resort, where locals know the snow always feels a little more special and the vibe is as classic New England as it gets. Right now, the mountain is stepping out of winter mode and is celebrating spring with a shift to summer activities, but let’s catch you up on how things wrapped up for skiers and riders, and what the snow scene looks like according to the latest data—because even in May, folks still dream of turns.

As for the current snow conditions, there’s no natural snow cover left to report, and piste grooming has wrapped up for the season—so those epic groomed runs are tucked away until next winter. If you’re looking for stats, both the base and summit are showing bare ground, with zero new snowfall in the last 24 or 48 hours, and no snow is forecast for the immediate future[1][3]. The lifts aren’t running for winter sports, but the mountain is alive with zip lines, adventure parks, and the Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster for summer fun[2].

Talking weather, Berkshire East is enjoying warm days and mild nights. Recent forecasts show daytime highs at the upper mountain (around 1,800 feet) typically reaching 60s°F, sometimes nudging into the low 70s, and nighttime lows dipping into the low 40s or occasionally the 50s at valley level[4]. That means if you’re here for the off-season, pack a mix of T-shirts and light jackets—perfect for après activities, but not for carving powder.

Looking ahead, the next five days promise more of the same: springtime warmth, with high temperatures hovering between the mid-60s and low 70s and lows in the low 40s, so grab your mountain bike or hiking boots instead of your skis[4]. The only snow in sight is what might linger in your fondest memories or the occasional patch in a shady hollow, but nothing to plan a trip around.

For those keeping score, the spring meltdown means season total snowfall is now a wrap, with the hill’s snowmaking system (which covers 100% of trails!) and natural storms all melted away into the past[5]. When winter returns, Berkshire East—run by the Schaefer family and powered entirely by onsite renewables—will be ready to roll out the white carpet once again[5].

For visitors right now, the mountain is buzzing with summer energy. Special notices? The winter season is officially closed, but the adventure is just getting started. Check out the zipline tours, aerial adventure parks, and the Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster for a new kind of high-speed thrill[2]. And keep your eyes peeled for next year’s Summit Pass, which hooks you up with access to not just Berkshire East, but Catamount and Bousquet too, for over 400 acres of southern New England’s best terrain[5].

So, while the ski poles are swapped for bike pedals and the chairlifts for zipline harnesses, the heart of Berkshire East remains the same—passionate, local, and always ready for adventure, no matter the season. See you on the mountain!
