Description
Book Synopsis
The Berkshires of Massachusetts have long been known as a winter sports paradise. Over the years, many of these ski areas faded away and are nearly forgotten.
Forty-four ski areas arose from the 1930s to the 1970s. The Thunderbolt Ski Trail put the Berkshires on the map for challenging terrain. Major ski resorts like Brodie Mountain sparked the popularity of night skiing with lighted trails. All-inclusive resorts - like Oak n' Spruce, Eastover and Jug End - brought thousands of new skiers into the sport between the 1940s and 1970s. Jeremy Davis of the New England/Northeast Lost Ski Areas Project brings these lost locations back to life, chronicling their rich histories and contributions to the ski industry.
Review Quotes
"Filled with photographs and information about how to find the locations of these gems, the book details numerous lost ski areas, including Abbey Hill in Great Barrington, the Elk Summit Practice Slope in Florida, Konkapot Farms in New Marlborough; and resorts such as Brodie Mountain, Eastover, Marlboro Manor, Jug End Barn and Leisure Lee." Up Country
"I have a whole new appreciation for our North Country landscape after reading Jeremy K. Davis's Lost Ski Areas of the Northern Adirondacks.
Davis has collected the "lost" history of the many ski areas, large and small, that once flourished in the North Country.
I was particularly intrigued to learn about the numerous small "Mom and Pop" ski areas that were ubiquitous in our North Country 'backyard.'" Press-Republican
