Think Massachusetts skiing, and Eastern Mass. May not think past Wachusett, Blue Hills, or Nashoba Valley. But some of the state’s finest ski destinations lay in the Berkshires, with Berkshire East, the legendary Thunderbolt trail, and Ski Butternut making the grade.

It’s a relatively small mountain that skis bigger than it looks, and it has a homey feel lacking at too many places these days. - 380 State Road, Great Barrington

Keene’s mayor cast a tie-breaking City Council vote Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017, to bring back a smaller festival more focused on children. The vote came after administrators at Keene State College said they had seen social media posts suggesting big parties or dangerous behavior could return. The Pumpkin Festival is scheduled for Oct. 29. (AP Photo/Jim Cole, File)
