Maple Corner Farm Cross Country Ski Center, a working family farm since 1840, has a friendly atmosphere that the whole family can enjoy. The Center is located in the foothills of the Berkshires and has an elevation of 1,400 feet. A large ski warm up area with beginner trails is located right behind the ski lodge. There are 20 kilometers of marked ski trails from beginner to expert, machine groomed for traditional and skating styles. We also have 10 km. of natural woods snowshoe trails that weave through the evergreen forest and down to the big meadow.

The scenic ski trails lead you through pastures and meadows, along mountain streams, through the current Sugar Bush, and into the forest and hills beyond.

The rental shop has over 100 sets of skis and over 50 pairs of snowshoes for children through adult.

Group Ski lessons are at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Private lessons are also available. We do have a starter package which includes your trail ticket,ski rentals and a beginners lesson.

The Center has a cozy wood fire to warm up and relax by after a day's skiing. The snack bar is available for sandwiches, soup, chili, hot and cold drinks, and snacks.

We are open for skiing from 9:00 am through 5:00 pm weekends and holidays, and 10:00 am through 4:00 pm weekdays.
