This ski hill has 19 slopes, and they are totally enjoyable. Powder Ridge is a more inviting than average ski area with a pretty small vertical drop compared to other east coast ski mountains.

    family friendly ski hill with a lot of green and blue trails for beginners. Having a skiing territory of 88 acres, it's relaxed enough to get to know all your fellow snow folks. The snowboarding and the skiing in Connecticut is a magnificent thing to do all winter
