Then, the slope lights will be turned off, the skiers will wind their way down the darkened mountain with only their torches lighting the way.
As soon as they extinguish their torches at the base of the Berkshire Express, the resort will light up the sky with a fireworks display. Hot Shot Hillbillies Duo will be playing in Christiansen's Tavern starting at 8 p.m. until midnight
