Hoping for some decent natural snowfall to head up to the Beast this season; likely on a weekday or a Sunday. Berkshire East has easily the best natural snow trails in Southern New England, and some decent gladed skiing too. I really like the place just after a sgnificant dump. Anyone else planning on hitting the Beast this season?

Never been, I'm game for a visit. Can be there in under and hour from my house (roads/weather permitting).

I'm very interested. I have the Beast on my list and the drive isn't that bad from Southbury.

took the words out of my mouth. I would love to check it out after a nice storm.

The place rules it with some nat. The day after an 18" dump:

I'm in as well. I've wanted to give the Beast a try for some time now. It will have to be on a day after some good natural snow because otherwise I've heard it affectionately called "Berkshire Ice". All kidding aside, I'd love to go especially for an AZ outing.

Oh yeah! I hope they do Coke a Cola Mondays again this year. All day lift ticket for $15 with any Coke product! I took a bunch of Mondays off to take advantage. This season, I'll be finishing off a contract position just in time to enjoy the ski season. The BEast will be a frequent visit!
