Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley, North Carolina:
What They Say About Themselves!
Visit Cataloochee Ski Area this season and experience
southern hospitality on the slopes. For generations of
snow-loving families,
Cataloochee is a winter tradition, and with good reason.
Our winter playground is nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains
with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks – riding the
chairlift has never been more rewarding. Smooth, gentle slopes
like Easy Way and Rabbit Hill, serviced by a beginner’s
chairlift, gives novices the elbowroom they need to learn the
basics and practice their skills. Intermediate skiers and
snowboarders find plenty of action on Rock Island Run and Lower
Omigosh, while seasoned experts can face the steepa found on
Upper Omigosh. For skiers and snowboarders looking for a thrill,
our Cat Cage Terrain Park delivers with ramps, rails and boxes.
At Cataloochee, everyone in the family, skiers and snowboarders,
from novice to veteran, can carve a place of their own.
Conservation Minded too!
Cataloochee is committed to making your skiing or snowboarding
experience the best it can be by utilizing the most advanced
snowmaking system in the Southeast. And as a member of the
National Ski Areas Association's Sustainable Slopes program,
they are dedicated to lightening their footprint on the earth by
protecting and conserving natural resources.
Taking Tubing to Another Level!
 If sitting back and slidin' is more your style, check out Tube
World in the valley. With the same dedication to making snow,
Tube World is family fun you can depend on. Riding their
conveyor lift to the top makes getting to the top of the run
even easier.
Don't miss Tube World in the Valley for a slidin'
good time!
Après-ski at The Cat Lodge
After a session on the mountain, you can relax with family and
friends in front of the lodge's double-sided fireplace. There's
nothing better than swapping stories about the day's adventures
on the slopes while enjoying the lodge's good food and an
après-ski drink. You might even catch a local bluegrass band
playing. Don't forget to stop in the lodge’s gift shop to pick
up your favorite Cataloochee gear before you head down the
mountain.
