Is there something about Berkshire East that makes it more exposed to wind than other mountains? It seems to close down as soon as the wind gets over 15mph. I know it has been closed numerous times this year due to wind.

Their terrain faces NW and this W crosswind doesn't help. A more NW wind component into the slope may help if light enough but with the milder/drier west/southwest flow this season, they're racking up more trouble days.

I've only driven by it a while back but aren't they tucked in a little bit?
