Mount Southington's 14 ski trails (33% Beginner, 42% Intermediate and 25% Expert) are served by seven lifts, including two triple chairs, two double chairs, a handle tow, and two carpet lifts. Some of the trails are illuminated for night skiing. The longest trail on the 51 skiable acres, Dom's Way, is just under a mile long down the 425-foot vertical drop.
Snowmaking covers the entire skiable area to supplement the annual average snowfall of 7 feet (2.13 meters). Two terrain parks serve snowboarders, the Turkey turn Park with a flat rail and flat box for beginning snowboarders, and the Drop Zone Park with a 30-foot flat down box, 16-foot round bar, rails, boxes and down jumps for experienced riders. Ski and snowboard equipment rentals are available, as are lessons in the two sports. The Red Barn Cafeteria provides food and drink. Mt Southington Ski Area
