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.
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
for some great
Maggie Valley Snow Tubing. 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.
