Torch Run:
January 30th @ 10:30 PM
Tomorrow will be THE terrain park session of the season at Cataloochee Ski Area… If rail hits and BIG air are your jam, you won’t want to miss it.
Join us from 12-4 to 👀 @zebpowelll and the @recessnc crew hitting up Cat Cage Terrain Park, making hot laps, or for an opportunity to snatch up an autograph.
If you have any other plans - reschedule.
We’ll see you on the slopes. 😎
Shout out to all the cool cats and kittens who joined us on the slopes for the first 18/18 day. With 7” of accumulated fresh powder, it was definitely a shred day for the books.
The good news is - we’re only halfway through the season. 😎
We are excited to see everyone on the slopes this weekend, and can’t wait to welcome back the week day visitors as well. If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime opportunity, join us on Tuesday for a chance to see @zebpowelll shredding it up on his home mountain.
Reserve your passes, rentals, and lessons online while there is still availability. You won’t want to miss out on these epic conditions… We promise.
We have SNOW much more to offer than phenomenal views! 😎
Tube World is open daily for sessions and we can’t wait to show you a good time. Have one in your group not tall enough to tube? Our Wee Bowl (pictured) offers a confined snow play area for tiny tots under 42”, where snow much fun awaits - for only $10! If you’re visiting during the weekend, be sure to grab a special treat from the @harvestmooncrepes food truck. They will be serving up hot and cold drinks, as well as both sweet and savory food to seal the deal. 🤤
Not into tubing? Join us on the slopes for a Kids Adventure, private, or group lesson. When it comes to progression, our team of highly skilled instructors have your back.
If you can’t make it to see us this week, we understand duty calls sometimes. But we can’t wait to tell you what we have in store for next week. 😮💨🏂
This view will never get old… 😍
Aside from the view, how about these awesome snowmaking temperatures, y’all?!
We are happy to report that snowmaking is being prioritized on Upper Snowbird and Richard’s Run while we have Mother Nature’s cooperation. Fingers crossed for 18/18 trails by the upcoming weekend, and no doubt 10/10 FUN for you and your family.
Bundle up, and be sure to wear layers as temperatures will continue to drop throughout the week. Speaking of priorities - don’t forget to stop in at The Shop and treat yourself to a new helmet, gloves, face mask, or Cataloochee Ski Area keepsake. We still have a limited quantity of this season’s Haywood Strong ornaments available for purchase also.
Regardless of where you find yourself on the mountain, we know you’ll have a blast. 😎
New Year, New Powder. 😎
Happy 2025, friends!

Good joke, Mother Nature… 😵💫
If we’re being honest, yesterday was exactly what our teams needed. We were able to kick the season off to an amazing start and spend a few days with our most loyal customers, and then boom… A quick nature rest that allowed our teams to spend a few hours with their loved ones on Thanksgiving.
Needless to say, we are thankful, grateful, completely blissful, and all the other ‘thank you’ adjectives for your patience and understanding through the thick of the season’s gear up.
To show our appreciation, we wanted to come back today, even better than before. Huge shout out to our (obviously) unmatched snowmaking team and videographer who enjoyed Thanksgiving with family but skipped the zZzz’s afterwards. They spent the entire night laying down the powder and capturing the process for us to share with you.
Now for our most used phrase by guests this season:
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOOHOO!
What a day.
Shout out to all of you who dropped everything to join us for the first blue bird day of the season. It was pretty epic. We started the season all the way to the top with service to 8 trails, 2 lifts, 3 terrain park features, and hundreds of smiling faces.
We’ll be back at it again tomorrow starting at 8:30 am and hope to see all the day two’ers there. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.
Welcome to the 2024-25 season!!! 😎🥳
The wait is over...
We will see you tomorrow, friends!
We are pleased to share that our snowmaking team has pulled off another amazing, season-starting feat.
Tomorrow, Saturday, November 23rd, we will open for our 64th season - all the way to the top! Our early season weekend hours will be in effect: 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM.
We encourage anyone planning to visit this weekend to pre-purchase online at cataloochee.com in advance. All products including slope passes, rentals, and lessons will be available two weeks out, and up to two weeks in advance from this point forward. Direct link to purchase is in our bio.
We can`t wait to see you!!!
