CHARLEMONT, Mass. - With plenty of snow days and cold nights, Berkshire East Mountain Resort is in the midst of a stellar season.

"It’s been a fantastic year so far," says resort spokesman Gabe Porter-Henry.  "I’ve been skiing here since 1975 and never really got tired of it," says Michael Kane of Charlemont.  But, it's not just skiing that's pleasing the masses.  The resort has grown - and diversified - to appeal to a wider audience.  "It’s just really been an exciting time to be here," says Porter-Henry.  "It’s been great that people can do different activities when they come up here."

Try weekend tubing or a brand new netted attraction for kids called the Treehouse Trail full of interactive elements, such as a small zipline.
