The Berkshire Snow Seekers are now on Facebook! Just "like" us and you can post on our page. Want to go for a ride but don’t want to ride alone? Post where and when you want to go for a ride, or check out if another member has posted a ride. Also another good aspect is we will make every attempt to keep you up to date on functions such as to any last minute changes. Please no vulgar language on this site, you will be reported and banned if this happens.

For up to date riding conditions and groomer reports, please check out the Trail Condition Forum on the SAM web site at sledmass.com. Official grooming reports are posted by "groomer_guy" for Pittsfield State Forest, by "Warthog3" for Windsor trails, and by "Sno-Cat" for October Mountain trails. You can also post reports on this web site.

Most of our trails are in good shape by now. If you know of an issue on the trails, a fallen tree, broken boards on bridges, etc. please contact a trail coordinator. Our trail coordinators are:

Cheshire Area –

Windsor Area - Pete Pyskaty @ 413-684-3441

West Pittsfield Area – Jim Holland @ 413-822-8754

Currently we have sold over 300 trail passes. Many of you people took advantage of the early bird purchase and saved yourselves some greenbacks! The rest are still waiting for something, maybe the first snowfall, maybe their Christmas bonus, or who knows?

Club meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of the month at Skyline Country Club on Rt. 7 in Lanesboro, MA. All are welcome!

Everyone is reminded that there is an 11:00 PM curfew on the trail leading off Pontoosuc Lake going towards Pittsfield State Forest. There is an elderly gentleman that lives along the trail and he would like to get a good nights rest without being woken up by sleds. His son is a Pittsfield Police Officer who has threatened to shut this trail down.

Everyone did a great job last year abiding by this curfew and we ask for your assistance again this year.
