Skiing at Sundown - Quite possibly one of the best things to ever happen to Connecticut. With 65 skiable acres, Ski Sundown is a great place to go for the day if you can’t get up to Vermont or New Hampshire. The night skiing is great, and gives the 9-5’ers the opportunity to hit the slopes after a tough day at the office. But, what really has given sundown its name are the grade A terrain parks, that you would never expect from this small hill. The park is ran by a busy working park crew and head park guy college graduate Jarred aka Fluff. They are one of the most hardworking crews I've seen seen, period. This year the main park has been moved to a better location on the hill, and new features are going in left and right. Sundown offers a park that 9 out of 10 mountains across the country don’t. If you want to ride some of the newest rails never seen anywhere else like the 40 foot spatula rail followed by a 30 foot booter this place is for you. Lift tickets may be a little pricey at $43, but trust me, when you see how mint the parks are, you know where your money has went to. Check it out, and you will see exactly what everyone else around Connecticut has been talking about. Patrick
