  Took my four-year-old son here for his first ever ski lesson. Paid $250 for a private lesson. It was a disaster from start to finish. I emailed ahead of time to ask where to go. Was told to check in at Guest Services. We did, and they sent us to the wrong location — the group lesson area. The private lesson was at the complete opposite end of the base. My son was in ski boots for the first time in his life. That long walk wiped out his legs before the lesson even started. He was exhausted the entire time because their own staff gave us wrong directions. The rental skis they gave him kept coming off his feet throughout the lesson. Poorly fitted equipment for a child. The worst part: near the end of the lesson, a beginner snowboarder who wasn't even taking a lesson hit my son in the head with her board while he was on the ground after a fall. He's four. There is zero staff monitoring the private lesson area. No separation between tiny kids paying for private instruction and random beginners with no control. They can't even keep your child safe. I emailed them about all of this afterward. Never got a response. They don't care. Do not bring your kids here.

  I went too return ski boots with my wife and I simply asked where do I return these boots. There was a small group of teenagers working at the rental shop, and one of them said “I’m going too rape the next person who asks where too leave returned equipment.” It was unbelievably offensive too me and my wife and I will not be returning again. I hope this issue is dealt with accordingly considering it is 2026.

  Mount Southington completely saved our ski day. We came here after being burned by an overbooked resort, and the difference was immediate. No massive lines, no chaos, and rentals were handled quickly and professionally. The rental staff were genuinely kind and detail-oriented. They carefully measured my head for the right helmet size, the gear was clean, and the helmet liners were single-use, which was a nice touch. On the mountain, the snow quality was noticeably better, and the lifts felt faster, smoother, and more secure. The whole operation felt efficient, modern, and safety-focused.

  A great family resort for teaching the kids to ski or just staying local. No waiting for a half hour in lift lines. It's usually ski down and up, especially on the lifts servicing "advanced" runs. With a vertical drop of 425 feet and it is a beginner Mountain, but for the cost of a season pass, you can come out as much as you want. The Snow making abilities on a small mountain keep conditions good. The ski school staff are well known for toddler and youth programs. Food options, especially the Waffles and Pizza aren't gouging.

  I took my granddaughter skiing on Sunday before President's Day. We had a lesson scheduled for 8:30 am and arrived at a little past 8:00. There were no lines at check in so it went very quickly. There were no lines at rental so that also went quite smoothly and the guys were very helpful. We arrived at the lesson with time to spare. Her instructor was Clint (I believe that was his name) and she couldn't have had a better guy. My granddaughter presented some difficult challenges but Clint was kind and patient and creative with her. In the end, despite her challenges, it turned out to be a wonderful experience for her. Thank you, Clint!! Lastly, there was a dispute on two of the charges and customer relations took care of them without question. Great experience!!!
