The One Famous Ski Resort In Connecticut You Absolutely Must Visit

Whether you're new to skiing or a seasoned mountaintop athlete, you will love spending time on Mohawk Mountain. Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Connecticut, it's the perfect place to spend a day this winter season. Check it out:

Mohawk Mountain Ski Area is part of the Southern Berkshires, making it a scenic winter paradise. As both the oldest and largest ski area in the state, it offers endless opportunities for fun in the snow.

In fact, it's nicknamed "the home of snowmaking" because it's creator, Walter Schoenknecht, was a snowmaking innovator. A producer of snow since 1948, you won't be able to tell the difference!

The summit offers a 650 foot vertical drop that the more experienced skiier and snowboarder will love. But there are also plenty of beginner friendly options, as the mountain is home to 24 different trails.

Most of the trails are available for night skiing as well! It's a gorgeous sight and an exhilarating feeling to be out under the lights.

The lift is more than just easy traveling. It's a relaxing ride with great views of the mountain.

Hop off at Pine Lodge for a cozy escape at a rustic restaurant and lounge. Located halfway up the mountain, it's a ski-in, ski-out full service dining area with plenty of delicious options.

The glassed in patio is wind resistant, and with the fireplace blazing you can enjoy the lakefront views, even in the winter. Few winter wonderlands are as charming and warm as this wonderful lodge.

That may be the reason a yeti has mad this place home. If you see him out on the mountain, don't be afraid. He loves hugs and posing for pictures!

Stop waiting and get skiing! You're guaranteed to love every second you spend here.

Located at 6 Great Hollow Road, West Cornwall, Connecticut 06796.
