Egremont
is small village located in Berkshire County in southwestern Massachusetts. As of 2010, the population was 1,225. The town is known for the Catamount Ski Area, located in South Egremont, and for its many antique shops, fine restaurants and quaint inns. Egremont was formed in 1722 by Dutch settlers, and later became a stagecoach stop on the Albany-Hartford road. Today, its location in a valley east of the Taconic Range along the Green River makes it a very picturesque hub for those visiting the Catamount ski area. Also nearby is the Jug End State Reservation and Wildlife Management Area, where the Appalachian Trail runs before turning east towards Great Barrington. Several brooks flow through the town and one was dammed to form Mill Pond in South Egremont. The Catamount Ski Area, which actually lies on the Massachusetts/New York border, is one of the oldest operating ski resorts in the country. It's also one of the few family-owned ski areas in New England. Catamount has a vertical drop of 1,000 feet and a total skiable area of 119 acres and 33 trails. The longest trail is 2.5 miles long and 98 percent of the ski area is covered by snowmaking. The village of Egremont is about 23 miles southwest of Pittsfield and 140 miles west of Boston.
