Mountain informationEdit
The mountain enjoys a skiing season from December to March. The runs are open 9am-10pm (Sat-Sun) and 10am-10pm (Mon-Fri).
There are fourteen trails, six Green Circle, four Blue Square, and two Black Diamond. Seven lifts serve the mountain: two double chairs (1-Summit, 1-Beginner Hill), two triple chairs (Summit), one rope tow (Children's Learning Area), and two Magic Carpets (Beginner Area and Children's Learning Area).
HistoryEdit
Mount Southington formerly had a J-bar in the beginner area until 2001, when it was replaced by a double chair. The mountain also once had two T-bars on the Stardust Trail, which were removed back in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
The mountain's two remaining T-bars, lift #4 and lift #5 respectably, were removed after the conclusion of the 2008-2009 ski season. They are being replaced with a new Partek Triple Chairlift. The new chair runs on a similar path as the old T-bars, but slightly re-angled because the chairlift goes to the top of the mountain, unlike the previous mid-mountain T-bars.
