Ski Butternut, also known as Butternut Basin, is a ski resort in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, US, on Warner Mountain in The Berkshires.
Channing and Jane Murdock took control of the area in 1963, naming the area Butternut Basin after the large groves of butternut trees in the basin of the mountain. The Kennedys, family friends of the Murdocks, visited Butternut. Script error: No such module "Unsubst".[1][2]
The mountain has 22 trails, ten ski lifts including three quad lifts, two terrain parks, an area for tubing in winter, and a PSIA-affiliated ski school. In the off-season, the mountain hosts a number of summer concerts and festivals, including the annual Berkshires Arts Festival.
