Ski area just south of Greenfield, MA?

Just below Greenfield to the south I believe is Deerfield Academy's slope if you're looking to the right on 91 North.

its the eaglebrook ski area i think your seeing, i used to go to eaglebrook and its for the students only. they open it to the public for one day in febuary i think...
yeah its right where 91 gets a little twisty through that little mountain ridge. right after the wyckoff golf course and where the scenic overlook is.
you really could only see the lights for night skiing from the highway. trails werent really visible even when it was open.

That would be Eaglebrook, not Deerfield Academy . . . Eaglebrook is a private grade school . . . we live nearby
** Ding ** Ding ** Ding ** We have a winner. Both of these posts are correct. It is NOT Deerfield Academy's hill. Eaglebrook Academy is the winner.

Actually Deerfield Academy had a small ski area on the backside of that same hill although it's not visible from I-91.
Here's a few pictures from Eaglebrook's ski hill........

Interesting !! We've heard several stories about that place
Some friend's kids went there and often spoke highly of that venue , Both boys were racers apparantly and they tell a story about King Hussein of Jordan standing there on a parent's weekend in the Winter in patent leather shoes and a little Chesterfield formal coat to watch his son ( Now King Abdullah ) race that day.
Apparantly Abdullah was AMERICANIZED and was liked by his classmates
Thanks for the photos

Hasn't Mt Tom been Nelsapped?
MrG played against Michael Douglas in football
. . . a . . . . long . . . . . time . . . . . ago!!!!!Yes, very much so, but only for students and staff. I actually will have another opportunity to ski their this year as Eaglebrook is hosting the SL portion of the Tri-State championships in February.
On a side note, the double chair at Eaglebrook (pictured above) is the old summit double from Wachusett.

Very cool thread, thanks!
Has anyone been up there recently? I'm not sure about getting there via the access road. I know they're clearing a lot of land near/on the old Mountain Park.
I do know you could get to the ski area from the other side of the mountain. Yeah, it's a long hike and a very round about way. You can park near the Log Cabin banquet facility in East Hampton and hike the trails from there. IIRC, you could hike from the reservation that's a bit down the road. It's been years since I've hiked that place though.
