The ski resorts in Connecticut are not large, the biggest one has 24 trails, but they are all very family friendly and great places to come to learn skiing or snowboarding. The season starts later here than in the northern New England States, but they all have snowmaking equipment and can compensate for the lower snow total also. The Ski Resorts in Connecticut are an easy drive from New York City as well as Rhode Island and Massachusetts and make for a great weekend getaway.
These Connecticut Ski Resorts all have lessons available. If you have never been to a Connecticut Ski resort , you should try one of these just once and if you do, you will want to come back again, if not for skiing in the winter, for some of the great events that go on all year long. Be sure to contact them and see what ski and stay specials they have going on with the local hotels and Bed and Breakfasts. They will have one that will suit your needs.
