Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in West Cornwall CT is a family business located in Mohawk State Park, which is under the control of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The summit of the mountain is 1600 feet (488 meters), with a vertical drop of 650 feet (198 meters) to the base at 960 feet (293 meters). Of the 350 acres (142 hectares) in the Mohawk State Forest, 107 acres (43 hectares) are open to skiing. The 24 trails (longest is 1.25 miles/2 km) are served by six lifts: 1 triple chair, 4 double chairs and a Wonder Carpet. Twelve trails are illuminated for night skiing, and snowmaking covers 95% of the trails. Skiing and snowboarding lessons are available for everyone, down to children 3 and 4 years old. Mohawk State Forest has cross-country trails for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing, but they are separate from the downhill ski area. Mohawk Mountain Ski Area was founded by Skiing Hall of Fame member Walk Schoenknecht in 1947. The following year it is said that he invented snowmaking. Be sure to ask about discount
