There are many ways to spend your winter in the Berkshires.  Local ski areas offer downhill skiing and snowboarding day and night.  Many have cross country trails as well as the area parks and ski centers.  There are lakes to skate and sled on and some towns maintain public skating rinks.  For those who prefer winter indoors, area museums and galleries are world class, such as Mass MOCA in North Adams, and The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. One could spend an entire day at The National Archives in Pittsfield researching a family tree.  Click through the photo gallery and see why the Berkshires is a year round resort.  Check the local conditions at www.onthesnow.com.
