Local Collaboration Brings Fresh Flavor to Bousquet Mountain
PITTSFIELD — Bousquet Mountain recently announced a new management agreement with the McNinch Restaurant Group to operate all food and beverage services at the mountain beginning this winter season.
These two Berkshire-based organizations aim to create a refreshed dining experience that reflects the energy and spirit of Bousquet — approachable, flavorful, and distinctly local. The collaboration builds on Bousquet Mountain’s continued transformation under the ownership of Mill Town Capital, whose ongoing investments in the mountain and the Greater Pittsfield area reflect a long-term commitment to revitalizing recreation and community spaces across the Berkshires.
“We’re excited that this new partnership will allow us to focus even more on what we do best — creating an exceptional mountain experience,” said Kevin McMillan, general manager of Bousquet Mountain. “From snowmaking and lifts to lessons and on-mountain programming, our team provides the best possible day on the slopes. Partnering with McNinch Restaurant Group ensures our guests will enjoy that same level of quality and care in their food and beverage experience.”
Beginning with the 2025-26 winter season, John and Tucker McNinch will oversee all on-site dining, including Drifters, the mountain’s full-service base lodge restaurant and bar, as well as the first-floor quick-service window — a convenient, cafeteria-style grab-and-go option for fast, casual bites and snacks. The team plans to introduce refreshed menus and expanded après-ski and family-friendly offerings throughout the season.
“We’re thrilled to partner with such an iconic Berkshire destination,” said Tucker McNinch, partner at McNinch Restaurant Group. “Our team shares Bousquet’s commitment to quality and community. This partnership lets us focus on what we do best — creating welcoming, memorable dining experiences — while supporting Bousquet’s mission to deliver an exceptional on-mountain experience. Together, we’re building something that reflects the best of Berkshire hospitality.”
