The Mt. Greylock Ski Club started in the mid-1930's and helped lay out the original "Thunderbolt" ski trail, on the eastern side of Mt. Greylock. The Club also helped clear trails at the nearby Bousquet ski area in Pittsfield. The club was able to purchase a farm site at Goodell Hollow, and trails were cut in the late 1930's/early 1940's. An original 800' rope tow was installed in the 1940's. General Electric was a large employer in Pittsfield from the 1940's through the 1970's, and this helped lead to the growth of the ski club.
