Mt Abram, Big
Rock, Black
Mountain,
Camden
Snow Bowl, Eaton
Mountain, Hermon
Mountain, Mount
Jefferson, Saddleback, Shawnee

Yes! Southern
New England has its ski

Hills, Bousquet, Bradford, Ski
Butternut, Catamount, Jiminy
Peak, Nashoba
Valley, Otis
Ridge, Wachusett
Mountain, Ward
Hill, and more...
Connecticut's few ski areas—Mohawk
Mountain,
Mount
Southington, Ski
Sundown and Woodbury—are
small, but convenient and fun (map). More...
