Rolling gently across the western end of Massachusetts Berkshire County looks east over all of New England and west toward the Hudson River Valley. It is for their beauty in all seasons that these hills and dales and small, welcoming communities are most prized. A world traveler raised in England, Stephen G.

From abandoned mills to working farms, from the Connecticut border to the verge of Vermont, from the dead of winter into the full glory of autumn, her is one of New England's and America's great treasures captured in 187 photographs spread throughout 144 pages.

The Berkshires of Massachusetts have long been known as a winter sports paradise. Over the years, many of these ski areas faded away and are nearly forgotten. Forty-four ski areas arose from the 1930s to the 1970s. The Thunderbolt Ski Trail put the Berkshires on the map for challenging terrain. Major ski resorts like Brodie Mountain sparked the popularity of night skiing with lighted trails. All-inclusive resorts - like Oak n' Spruce, Eastover and Jug End - brought thousands of new skiers into the sport between the 1940s and 1970s. Jeremy Davis of the New England/Northeast Lost Ski Areas Project brings these lost locations back to life, chronicling their rich histories and contributions to the ski industry.
