Check this place out. You won't regret!!!
I am from NY. I have been looking for a ski resort for three years for my 8 years old son since he is 6 years tri-states area. I have finally found the best place for me and my son.
Scenic, invigorating disc (Frisbee) golf course with fun water slides to cool off in after 18 holes. Water park is crowded on summer weekends and during camps, so aim for Monday or Friday. Single line cafeteria offers minimal food options.
Great variety of activities in the off season. Only drawback is pricing. They charge parents a half priced admission just to watch their children as required by their rules and regulations. If it wasn't for that it would be given a 5 star rating.
Just finished our first day at Bousquet. Six of us rented equipment and purchased carpet tickets (bunny slope lift) $300 plus 60 bucks in the cafe. The equipment was fine and the staff friendly. The cafe food wasn't so good but it's what you'd expect at a ski Cafe. Our big complaint and the reason for the low rating is the operation of the carpet lift. It was constantly stopping even when few riders were aboard. Then it would often take a long time to start up again. We spent an unacceptable amount of time on the lift often having to walk up the lifts to pick up the pace. We did not feel we had our days worth of skiing as a result. I shared this with the staff who directed me to Cindy. Cindy was unsympathetic to our feelings on our days worth. She responded "I can tell the maintenance guy. That's the best that I can do." I certainly feel she could have done more. Tomorrow we will have a second day at Bousquet as we are already here. Some of us will move on to the chair lift. Those of us who planned another day on the bunny slope will instead go to the outlet. As a grouo we wont be coming back. That's a loss of 150 bucks and about $30 at the cafe for Bousquet on this trip alone. Certainly, we won't be coming back. Cindy, that's the best we can do.
Some review mentioned about the staff's attitue. I did worry aobut that. I was wrong. If you have any trouble, the manager is there for you. I've forgotten her name but she did really listen and tried to help my complaint. She even helped me a big issue.
The Berkshire's local hill and insider's secret. No fast lifts so the slopes are rarely crowded, pleasant range of terrain from never-ever to upper intermediate, strong racing program (home hill of several former Olympians) and a friendly ski-school and base area. The original home of night-skiing due to its proximity to the former GE plant.
Too long story short. You will be like me if you have a kid or kids. You will look for a secure and affordable. This resort is not big but has everything and so close between the parking lot and the lounge. The ski area and lounge is super close. Of course, the lift ticket is inexpensive and no long line at all.
