Ski Sundown in New Harrford CT is where I call home.

Located in New Hartford, Connecticut. There are 17 trails, 16 of which are lighted for nighttime skiing. In terms of difficulty, nine of the trails are easier, four are intermediate and three are most difficult and one is extremely difficult. Popular trails include Tom's Treat, which winds its way down the mountain for one mile and includes a mini terrain park (1.6 km), and Gunbarrel, a steep pitch straight down the fall line which offers free NASTAR as well as CISC-sponsored races. The ski area features two terrain parks, the easier on Tom's Treat, and an expert terrain park on the black diamond run Stinger. When there is enough snow, the mountain seeds moguls on the Exhibition and Gunbarrel trails. The mountain opened its newest trail, Satan's Stairway, a double black diamond trail in the Winter 2014/2015 season. Five lifts service the mountain, with one quad, two triple chairs, and two conveyor lifts. Ski Sundown has 70 acres (280,000 m²) of skiable terrain. 53% Easier (9) - 23% More Difficult (4) - 18% Most Difficult (3) - 6% Extremely Difficult (1). Ski Sundown also includes 16 out of 17 trails lighted for night skiing until 10:00pm.
