Sustainability

Driven by a commitment to sustainability, we've joined the NSAA's Sustainable Slopes program and are integrating eco-conscious practices throughout our business.

Snowball Effect and Mount Southington have teamed up to launch ON BOARD, a breakthrough initiative that connects sport, sustainability, and education to create real impact for local families. With a focus on environmental stewardship and youth engagement, ON BOARD is reinventing how ski areas and resorts connect with their communities, starting right here in Connecticut.
