Mohawk Mountain is not only the largest and the oldest ski area of Connecticut , it is also usually considered to be the best.
Mohawk Mountain has five lifts leading on to a network of 24 trails which cover a ski area of more than a hundred acres. The longest run is more than a mile long and the vertical drop is 650 ft. The trails are mostly suited for intermediate skiers. However, beginners and experts can also find great fun in the trails of the Mohawk Mountain ski resort . Though there is no facility for cross-country skiing, yet the excellent snowboarding facilities more than make up for the loss.
The name of Mohawk Mountain is connected to that of Walt Schoenknecht, the founder of the place and one of the snow-making pioneers of the world. No wonder it has one of the oldest and most efficient snow-making arrangements in the world.
Mohawk Mountain can be a great place for a family holiday. The Snow-Hark learning area is great for beginners and learners. When off-slope, Mohawk Mountain provides great sight-seeing in the picturesque Lichfields area of Connecticut . There are many lodges and cottages nearby to make accommodation convenient.
