Since 1963, Ski Butternut has been committed to family skiing, and that's still its strong point. The 110+ acres on Warner Mountain do indeed have lots of butternut trees, but the attraction is the 22 trails (20% Beginner, 60% Intermediate, 20% Expert) on the 1000-foot (305-meter) vertical drop served by 10 lifts (three quads, one triple, two doubles and four surface lifts). Butternut prides itself on not just its 100% snowmaking capability, but also on the quality of the snow thus produced. The aim is to give families a high-quality skiing, snowboarding and tubing experience at reasonable cost. Besides the downhill trails, Ski Butternut has two snowboard terrain parks, a snowtubing park with five lanes and its own lift, and eight miles (13 km) of Nordic/cross-country trails. Ski Butternut is only one mile (1.6 km) from the center of the Berkshire Hills town of Great Barrington, so all of the town's lodging places—hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs—restaurants and shops are available to skiers, snowboarders and snowtubers.
