General Information:
Canterbury Farm is nestled high in the Berkshire Hills, 1650 elevation. Our trail system was specifically designed for cross country skiing with 22 km of trails. We groom and track the majority of trails daily with beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain. Some trails are wide for skating and a few backwoods trails are ski tracked only.Our northern exposure guarantees the best snow in the Berkshires. Top of the line grooming and track setting equipment makes our ski conditions as good as it gets! A new ski trail and snow shoe trail was constructed that connects to a lookout with a view of Mt. Greylock. The skating rink is maintained with resurfacing equipment with skate rentals available. These rentals may be interchanged with ski or snowshoes for one low price. Lessons in skiing and skating are offered by professional instructors. The lodge serves homemade soups, chili, and wraps with snacks and drinks available. Our three bed & breakfast rooms, all with private baths, full breakfast and skiing included are in our historic lodge. Ski to a beautiful lake, glance at the long vistas, and enjoy the tranquility. We have rentals, lessons, food, and great skiing. Open 9-5 every day except non holiday Tuesdays.
