Registration for the 2026 ski season is now open for Returning Skiers! New Skiers can register beginning October 19th.
The club will hold practices on Sundays from 1:30pm-3:00pm from January 4, 2026 through March 8, 2026. Sign up here to reserve a spot!
Registration
Registration is easy with our online registration form via Skireg. When you have finished entering your information you will be asked to pay for your club membership online using PayPal or a credit card.
There are a limited number of spaces available in the program. If your child was in the program last year or on the wait list, you have the first opportunity to register for the program. If you choose to not take advantage of early registration, there might not be a spot available for your child, so please register early to ensure your spot!
If you have questions about registration please contact us at berkshiretrails@gmail.com.
Costs
The registration fee for the season is $80. This fee includes a membership with NENSA (New England Nordic Ski Association), which is required to participate in the Bill Koch program. (Please do not pay your own fee to NENSA as the ski league takes care of this.) A limited number of need-based fee waivers are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the registration fee poses a hardship to your family, please contact us at berkshiretrails@gmail.com.
The Trustees of Reservations: Each family must maintain an active membership with The Trustees of Reservations. The family membership is $80 per year, and you can get a new membership or renew at Notchview when you first visit. Berkshire Trails members are given a youth season pass for each skier and one adult pass per family. If you have questions about Trustees membership, contact Jim Caffrey at Notchview (jcaffrey@thetrustees.org). The Trustees membership also entitles you to take advantage of all of the different properties that the Trustees own.
It takes a village…
Please remember the Bill Koch program is a completely parent-run, volunteer organization and every family is expected to volunteer in some capacity. In order to ensure that every child has a positive experience, we especially need more coaches, assistant coaches and parent helpers. Parent helpers are an integral part and enthusiasm is the only requirement. In addition, we need parent help with administrative tasks and waxing before our Sunday sessions. Sign up to help out when you register. Email berkshiretrails@gmail.com with questions.
Here’s to a great season!
