Uncanoonuc Mountains
Once a thriving location for skiing in the early 1900's the Uncanoonuc mountains are now home to many hiking trails. When conditions permit, backcountry skiing is also possible here. This map contains many historical trails that were part of the 100 year old ski trail system, some of which are still skiable today.

Moose Mountain Recreation Area
Formerly a ski area operating from the 1960s to the late 1980s. It is now open as a recreation area with backcountry skiing, snowmobiling and tubing. Most of the best skiing can be had on the former trails, which are still cleared and mowed. There are also trails leading to the geographic summit of the mountain above the ski area. There are a few good trails up there as well. The owner asks that you contribute someway if you are visiting through donation or buying lunch at the restaurant. They put in lots of effort to keep the area open.
