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
challenge of 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.
What's new for 2011-2012!
With over $1.2 million in capital
investments made over the summer of
2010, Cataloochee is certainly stepping up
to provide the best winter sports
experience possible! With the
addition of 13,000 feet of
snowmaking pipe, the already killer
snowmaking system just keeps getting
better! They've also added 2 Pisten
Bully snow groomers making for some
seriously fresh corduroy!! And,
you'll be stoked to know that
Cataloochee has replaced all adult
rental boots and is starting the
season with 700 brand new adult skis
in the rental shop, so you'll be
shredding in style...
Kid's STAY FREE!!!
