04:52PM / Thursday, December 30, 2021 | |
"Normal" may still be a long way off. But some of the usual suspects were back in their normal positions, at the top of the heap, during 2021's sports seasons.

 PITTSFIELD, Mass. — After receiving an extensive makeover, Ski Bousquet will open this winter with many new — and some old — features. The most obvious renovation is the modern 15,000-square-foot lodge that greets visitors from Dan Fox Drive.
A far cry from the original, more than 50-year-old facility, it features a gathering space, expanded dining options, a full bar, and plenty of outdoor seating. The building was designed by Allegrone Construction.
Skiers and snowboarders can still frequent their favorite trails such as Drifter, Russell, Parker, Main Street, and the intimidating Icicles if they dare.
