Regarding Brodie, its too bad that the skiing operation is, for now at least, gnittihs the bed. Yes, it was an okay hill, I went there a few times, and it was great for learning/advancing etc. Regarding the challenging terrain at Jiminy Peak, I think that the runs at Jiminy are far more challenging (steeper, some more narrow runs) than that found at Brodie. I do believe, however, that Berkshire East contains terrain which is more challenging than Jiminy. I think it may have more vertical as well, but I could be wrong. I have always thought of the skiing industry in New England as similar to farming. Totally seasonal, largely contingent upon the weather, as well as the moods and habits of the consumer. Lets face it...people _need_ veggies, cotton, wheat, etc. Do they really _need_ to ski? Aside from the 300-odd derranged, dilusional, disoriented cheapo skiing dirtbags on this list (present company strenuously included), no, people don't necessarily _need_ to ski. Its such a risky business and bizzare industry. I give mucho credit to those who follow their dream and try to realize it, and feel badly for those who fail. Perhaps Brodie will again rise to the "Kelly's Irish Alps" status it enjoyed in the 1970's and 1980's. I do hope so, as I've never had the opportunity to ski on green snow except for at Brodie....yellow, yes, but not green. My $0.02.
