Review of Butternut Ski Area

Absolutely in love with this place. I had been sea...

Absolutely in love with this place. I had been searching for over a year for a place to teach my children and this place has everything. The learning hill is totally separate and a beautiful pitch to teach young kids. They have a daycare that starts at 6 months, way earlier than any other mountain I tried (almost a dozen in the Berkshires and Catskills!)

So many little touches make this place THE place to raise young kids.

While the mountain lacks any steeps it really is a blessing. Being in the Berkshire s they don t get the snow Vermont does so whole other mountains get skied up and icy quickly, Butternut has consistently better snow quality. The other advantage of not having steeps is your 1000 vertical goes much further and you will be cruising for longer than anywhere else south of Vermont.

The trees and geography are beautiful, everything feels like a beautiful village where your kids are always safe. What a blessing this special place is!!!
