not sure, i think its around 500 or so, i know u get a huge discount if u buy it before october something.  i get mine free because i work there, but its definitely a lot better than southington.

I do occassionally, but I usually go to Sundown.  The only time I was there was for a rail jam...SeanyJ was there too, and damn, he killed it...

im guessing he meant sundown instead of ct.  but sundown does have a better park from what ive heard but i have not been to southington so i cant make a first hand account.  but is worth the drive if u live in CT over other mountains

oh yeah southington does suck really bad.  I only go there bc its only like 40mins away from my house and i have friends go there.  It gets kinda old though....last year i went 4 times a week and by the end of the season i bet i could have done every feature and skiied the whole hill (not mountain) with my eyes closed.  I wanna go to sundown but its farther away and my friends for some reason want to stay at Sounthington instead of Sundown.  Does anybody else really miss powder ridge?? that place was the shit, that park was so fun.

I think Sundown is buying powder ridge and putting it back in operation. I'm not sure though, maybe that was just a rumor?

Sundown terain park is pretty legit for something in CT, southington blows for the most part.

c'mon jarrod. sundown doesnt have 2.8 mil sitting around to buy powder ridge? then you'd only need a few more million to fix it up.

that place needs a lot of attention.  It's too bad.  CT needs more skiers and riders.  Everyone wins if there are more ski areas in this state.
