Mohawk Mountain is a ski area located in Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The ski area was built on the northwest slope of Mohawk Mountain by Walt Schoenknecht in 1947. It is a popular destination for both day and night skiers and snowboarders in the tri-State area (NYC/CT/northern NJ). Mohawk Mountain is approximately a 95-mile (153 km) ride to Mohawk Mountain from Manhattan. Like most ski areas on the East Coast south of Massachusetts, the resort has struggled with dependable snow in winter, and has depended on its efforts in creating and popularizing the snow gun and artificial snow.
