About this resort

Bousquet Ski Area

Bousquet Ski Area is a small, family-friendly ski resort in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The ski area features 23 trails, with the best being the intermediate-level Chute and the advanced-level Tombstone. Few people know that Bousquet was the birthplace of modern snowmaking, with a patent for artificial snowmaking filed by the resort's founder in 1950. For beginner skiers, the gentle slopes of the bunny hill and the learning area are excellent places to start. The best apres ski bar is the Rusty Anchor, located at the base of the mountain, which offers live music, classic cocktails, and a cozy atmosphere.

Terrain mix: Bousquet Ski Area is located in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. The ski resort is situated on the slopes of Bousquet Mountain, which is part of the Taconic Range. The mountain has a summit elevation of 1,818 feet and offers skiers and snowboarders a vertical drop of 750 feet. Bousquet Mountain features a variety of terrain, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs, as well as a terrain park for freestyle riders.

What forecasters are seeing

Plain-English forecast narrative from the local NWS office. Issued by NWS ALY.

528 FXUS61 KALY 040629 AFDALY Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 229 AM EDT Fri Sep 4 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Added patchy fog through Saturday across eastern New York and western New England. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) No impactful weather is expected across eastern New York and western New England through Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... For today, a weather system continues to move further south and east for a dry day in store across eastern New York and western New England. For Saturday afternoon and evening, an upper level shortwave is supported by latest forecast model guidances to move through eastern New York and western New England for one more day of unsettled weather conditions. While most locations will see partly to mostly cloudy skies, there are medium chances (40-60%) for rain showers and a rumble of thunder for southern Vermont and the Berkshires during the afternoon hours Saturday. There are low chances (less than 30 percent) across the southern Adirondacks, Mohawk Valley, Schoharie Valley, Greater Capital District, and Lake George- Saratoga regions. With the nature of the rain showers to be on the light side, there are no flooding concerns for Saturday afternoon and evening. Then, surface high pressure builds in from the northwest and dry conditions return for the rest of the Labor Day weekend across eastern New York and western New England through Tuesday next week. Wednesday night into Thursday next week is looking to be our next best chance (50-75%) for precipitation across eastern New York and western New England. Exact rainfall amounts and the track of the weather system has been fluctuating with latest ensemble forecast model guidances, so forecast confidence is low at this time on potential impacts. With dry conditions before our next round of precipitation, flooding concerns are very low at this forecast time. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... An area of showers is currently moving across the Catskills. A few rumbles of thunder have also been ongoing with this activity. While this activity should stay south of most of the TAF sites, it will impact KPOU over the next 1-2 hours. Within the showers, MVFR conditions are be expected for both visibility and ceilings. Cannot totally rule out brief IFR conditions for visibility, but it looks very brief and isolated so won`t include in the TAF. Elsewhere, it should stay dry through the rest of the overnight hours. While KALB will remain VFR with sct-bkn high level clouds, the other two sites (KGFL and KPSF) will see some radiational fog continue to develop through daybreak. This will result in IFR/LIFR visibility for both of these sites through daybreak, especially at KPSF, where visibility may be as low as 1/4SM. After sunrise, the fog will dissipate and it will go back to VFR for all sites by 13z. Through the entire day on Friday, flying conditions will be VFR with sct-bkn diurnal cumulus around 5-7 kft and some passing cirrus clouds. West-northwest winds will be 5-10 kts through the day for all sites. These clouds will mostly dissipate on Friday evening, with just few clouds lingering into Friday night. Winds will become light to calm for all sites. Some radiational fog may try to develop once again late Friday night for KGFL and KPSF. Outlook... Saturday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Sunday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Sunday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Labor Day: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Monday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Tuesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Tuesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None.

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Bousquet Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Bousquet Ski Area come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Bousquet Ski Area?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Bousquet Ski Area?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
