DISCLAIMER
Be advised, dates and rates are subject to change. Slope passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Lost passes will not be replaced. All guests must have a valid day or night slope pass and ski/snowboard equipment to enter any slope system, including bunny slopes. Riding lifts without ski/snowboard equipment is strictly prohibited. Management reserves the right to revoke slope passes at any time. Though we take every precaution in lift maintenance practices, grease or light debris have potential to be present and/or drip from lift areas and equipment. This is an inherent risk to winter sports and Cataloochee Ski Area is not responsible for stains or damage to garments, ski/snowboard equipment, or otherwise.
