Berkshire East - 03/21 - Closing Day

[TheBEast]

Date Skied: Sunday, March 21st, closing day

Weather: 40s in the morning warming to the mid-50s with mostly cloudy sky's with some breaks of sun now and then.

Great day on the hill today for closing day. After talking with folks who were up on Saturday, despite the lack of sunshine today, overall conditions were better than Saturday. Skied all the main snow-making runs, with a Broken Arrow, Tomahawk (some walking and grass skiing involved) and Mini Dole mixed in there. UMASS was probably my run of the day with some really technical skiing due to conditions and natural hazard avoidance. Runs like that really make me love the place. Woods were toast, so other than the small link of turns in Tomahawk that we tried out no other tree runs today.

Thanks goes out to everyone that's shown Berkshire East some love this year. Until the snow flies in Western MA again.....Peace. Shabadoo!

I was there also & agree that it was a great Closing Day! I really enjoyed skiing the soft bumps & corn snow. I also really enjoyed UMass on Sunday, along with Flying Cloud. Near the end of the day, I took a run down Liftline since it wasn't roped. It was difficult to get into a flow because of all the short patches of snow but I'm glad I skied it. Looking forward to another great season there next year!

I really wanted to hit lift line.....we did have it open for those interested since it was the last day, but had my better skis with me and really did want to take the chance. Hopefully we'll bump into each other there one of these days.

Berkshire East was very nice on Sunday. I did not arrive til later in the day but there were lots of good turns to be had. Comp was real nice in spots. This was not a great year for snow but the skiing was awesome anyway. 19 days at the beast for me this year. Next year I may actually get some nights in!
