Ski Butternut is a ski resort in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. It is situated on Warner Mountain, located in The Berkshires. The ski area was opened in 1963 by Channing and Jane Murdock, who named the area after the large groves of butternut trees located in the basin of the mountain. The ski area was previously known as the G-Bar-S Ranch.

The mountain currently features 22 trails, ten ski lifts, two terrain parks, a tubing area, and a PSIA-affiliated ski school. In the off-season, the mountain hosts a number of summer concerts and festivals, including the annual Berkshires Arts Festival.
