Ski Sundown   Sundown is a really good ski area for beginners and other skiers who prefer to take it a bit slow and just enjoy a day in the snow. says Jeff Hernandez. I love Ski Sundown. From the momment you pull into the drive way you can feel something special about this new hartford based gem. Personally, I like terrain parks and feel that this place does the best job of creating features that are fun for me. luckily they make so much snow that you hardley     even care that its in connecticut and doesnt get very much natural. I'd put this on my must ski list for southern new englanders says jarrod. This ski mountain has a humble collection of ski runs and an okay selection of ski lifts. This ski hill has a much lower than average share of red and black ski trails and a much higher than average percentage of intermediate or beginner ski runs. This is a small-size ski resort featuring a medium altitude difference when compared to other east coast ski mountains. All the 15 ski runs here are wonderful. Ski Sundown gets blanketed by lower than average snow every ski season. Ski Sundown has the greatest vertical drop among ski mountains in a 26       mile radius. The wintertime months in Connecticut is the most majestic time of the year for skiing and snowboarding. Ski Sundown is a fine site for everybody with lots of easy trails. This is a popular ski resort for skiers from Torrington.   The annual snowfall of 5 feet is quite okay for a ski mountain like this one. The 5 great ski lifts here are in good shape. With 65 acres of skiable area, it's petite enough to get to know all your fellow ski people. A 625 foot vertical drop is of course not that much, but Ski Sundown has so many other fine characteristics. The snowboarding and the skiing in this part of the country is a great thing to do during the winter. Getting a little bit of good exercise and just being on the trails for a while outshines anything.
