Ski Sundown is a small ski area located in New Hartford, Connecticut. There are 15 trails, 14 which are lighted for nighttime skiing. In terms of difficulty, nine of the trails are easier, three are intermediate and three are difficult. Popular trails include "Tom's Treat", which winds its way down the mountain for one mile, and "Gunbarrel", the steep straight shot down the mountain. The ski area features two terrain parks, the easiest of which is on "Sensation". The expert terrain park is on the black diamond "Stinger". Five lifts service the mountain, with three triple chairs, one double chairlift, and the conveyor lift which opened in 2006.

History

Satan's Ridge Ski Area opened with a Hall T-Bar in 1963. A second T-Bar would be added in 1965. The ski area would be renamed Ski Sundown before the start of the next decade.

In 1977, a new Borvig triple chairlift was installed to the summit.

In 1987, a second summit triple chairlift, a CTEC, installed.

Ski Sundown has 65 acres of skiable acres and will soon develop on 30 more.
