MOHAWK MOUNTAIN SKI AREA HISTORY
 
Mohawk Mountain ski area is 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 Connecticut area. It is also a popular day skiing destination for the New York City Metropolitan Area demographic as it is approximately a 95-mile ride to Mohawk Mountain from Manhattan. This resort is also famous for its pioneering efforts in creating and popularizing the snow gun and artificial snow.
 
Mohawk Mountain ski area was first opened by Walt Schoenknecht, later of Mount Snow fame, in 1947. In 1969, a new Carlevaro-Savio double chairlift was installed. In 1978, a new Hall triple chairlift was installed.
 
In 1989, a tornado destroyed many of the ski area's lifts and trees. While the lifts were reconstructed, to this day the tree destruction is still visible from the base area. In the summer of 2008, Mohawk Mountain installed a CTEC triple chairlift to replace the Mohawk Double. Formerly placed at Loon Mountain from 1984 to 2004, it is now the Mohawk Triple Chair as seen on their Trail Map.
 
Mohawk Mountain introduced snowtubing to its list of services in 2019.
