Cataloochee Ski Area offers a mountain of fun for everyone from beginner to advanced. With 18 slopes and two terrain parks, beginners can get a feel for snow sports on smooth, gentle slopes, while ramps, rails and boxes are calling the more adventurous lot at Cat Cage Terrain Park. Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, the surrounding views are magical.

Tip: The snow report is published daily at cataloochee.com, before 8:00 AM, and summarizes open trails, road conditions, terrain park features, etc. to keep you in the know ahead of your visit.
