Alright, alright, alright…
We won’t see you for Thanksgiving, BUT… we will see you before the weekend. 🥳

During the holiday period (Friday & Saturday) operations will run from 8:30 AM until 10:00 PM. Operations will return to early season hours (8:30/9 AM - 4:30 PM) beginning Sunday.
If you haven’t already, mark your calendars for the annual Ski Patrol gear sale coming up next Saturday, December 6th. Details for drop off and sale times are available on the cataloochee.com homepage.

We never break a promise or save the date, and thank goodness because what a fun weekend of tubing and turns it was with so many of you who joined us. 🥰
The ski area will be going into the holiday week with a pause on operations until weather permits for snowmaking and conditions meet our standard of service. We hope this will only be a short break and are grateful to everyone who allows us to choose YOU by continuing to choose us. 🫶
Tube World will remain open this week and beyond thanks to all weather snowmaking capabilities. A full session calendar is available at cataloochee.com and tickets can now be purchased two weeks out. ❄️
If we don’t see you on the mountain before next weekend, we hope you have the most wonderful Thanksgiving holiday while we eagerly await the opportunity to serve you again. 🦃

OPERATIONS UPDATE:
How was everyone’s first time on the mountain for the 2025-26 season?! It’s been an epic week with you all so far and we’ve loved seeing everyone back in their element (our phenomenal staff included). 😎🙌
For those who joined us this week, you’re the real MVP’s. 🏆 For those who couldn’t make first turns with us yet, don’t worry because we are just getting started...
For all of you and beyond, we hope you know you remain our highest priority when it comes to making operational decisions that impact the guest experience. As most of you can imagine, due to the mere size of the project, our teams worked diligently on the Omigosh Quad chairlift installation from the start of our off-season to the very end. We never turn down an opportunity to fire up the snow guns and we’re grateful to have been able to provide an unexpected and earlier than normal opportunity for many of you to get on the snow. To allow for this, we had to pause on some necessary projects and as a result have made the decision to cease operations from Monday, November 17th, through Friday, November 21st.
We share this update with the intention and utmost commitment to welcoming you back to both Cataloochee Ski Area and Tube World next Saturday, November 22nd. In the meantime, tune those skis, wax those boards, and get ready for what’s ahead because we can guarantee there’s no fun like slope fun. ⛷️🏂
We sincerely appreciate your patience while we button up the remainder of our Summer projects for your benefit and enjoyment. See you all in a jiffy! 🫡🙂↔️
Keeping this one short and sweet…
Welcome back, friends. 🤗

And just like that, our new quad lift has chairs… 🥹
They may be empty now, but ski season is right around the corner and we are STOKED to see YOU!!!!
Now, what to name it? 🤔🤭
#newquad #chairlift #thinkwinter #doppelmayr
We’ve enjoyed seeing everyone’s Independence Day celebration posts so much over the last week, we thought we would make a similar post of our own. 🎆
Fireworks (well, sort of) have been flying around here, and we are celebrating also! We get closer to completing our quad chairlift install every day, and canNOT wait to share the awesomeness with each of you! 🚡
Speaking of awesomeness… If you have not yet purchased your season pass for the 2025-2026 season, in-season pricing goes into effect on November 1st. Don’t snooze on guaranteeing you and your family have an epic winter. 😎

Despite our team being full speed ahead on the double to quad chairlift project, we find ourselves reminiscing about all things snowy Omigosh days.
No Monday blues here though! We are on track and SO READY to welcome you back, new lift and all, for the 2025-26 season.
Fingers crossed for a cold Fall! 🥶🤞
Is it ever too soon for a Throwback Thursday when it’s this epic?!
Nearly three weeks ago we waved goodbye to the 2024-25 season, along with our double Omigosh lift. We have been hard at work getting everything ready to install the new fixed grip quad. Looking ahead to what next season will bring, we wanted to throw it back to share the excitement as we gear up for big changes.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our official send off on closing day. We 🫶 you. 🥹
OMIGOSH!
We hate to see you go, but we love to watch you ski! 😉
Join us for the last day of the 2024-25 season at Cataloochee Ski Area and a final send off for the Omigosh chairlift this Saturday, March 22nd.
We will be spinning the Rock Island quad and Easy Way triple chairlifts from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM. Additionally, we will have the Omigosh lift open for the last time ever, servicing mid-station only, from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM.
For those of you who have a special place in your heart for the Omigosh chairlift like we do, tell the lifty before loading during this exclusive three-hour send off for a special Cataloochee hoo-rah. ✌️
From our crew to yours, THANK YOU, sincerely, for another season full of memories. 🫶
It gives us warm fuzzies when we see generations (like this father and son duo) enjoying the slopes together. 🥰
Friendly reminder that tonight is the last night session of the season. Late season hours officially begin tomorrow, with business hours changing over to 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (weekends) and 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (weekdays).
