Western Massachusetts Cross Country Ski Area Association

Western Massachusetts provides a diversity of cross country ski experiences unequalled anywhere. From rustic mountain-top lodges and elegant Berkshire mansions to land preserves and working farms, the variety of nordic venues here will impress you. Not surprisingly, each trail system is unique as well, with some areas featuring buffed boulevard skate lanes and others more oriented towards challenging back country and classical skiing. In addition, most areas offer instruction and rental equipment and welcome snowshoers too.
