Berkshire East: 100% renewable energy
Powered by a 500 kWh solar facility and a 900 kWh wind turbine, Berkshire East is the first ski area in the world to generate 100% of our power from onsite renewable energy. We are very aware of our place on the planet and are proud of these two impactful installations and are proud of being a leader in responsible ski area development.

2. Each blade is 91 feet long, there are three of them
3. The center of the hub, is about 195 feet in the air
4. The blades spin at 27 rpm, at maximum
