Catamount is an awesome mountain for the area! It has a wide array of terrain from a long green run down the ridge up to genuinely steep double blacks. I gave it 3 stars for 'all mountain terrain' just because it doesn't often get enough snow to enjoy the terrain off of the trails with snowmaking, but there is great terrain there when it does snow. The same rating for apres is only because there isn't a big apres scene like some mountains, but there are 2 nice bars, they have music on the weekends, and there's a great outdoor patio area with fire pits. I've seen some various complaints about price and lines, but I think it's totally unfounded. The ticket and pass prices are some of the most affordable anywhere, and the lines are generally very reasonable, and much shorter than other mountains. Occasionally there's a bit of a longer wait for tickets or rentals on a busy weekend, but that's the way it goes at ski areas sometimes. They also have been working to improve everything from buildings to lifts, snowmaking, the park, etc each year. Overall a great mountain, great for families, friendly people, fun terrain, good snowmaking, and good prices!

Ive been to Catamount almost every year since I was 2 years old, I grew up here and I love it, They have a lot of great Greens, also some easy Blues, and hard Blues, However not too many Blacks, and the blacks are really just hard blues. 8/10

Catamount is a good local mountain but they raised their prices. Week day and half day tickets doubled in price compared to last year. Snow making and grooming has declined and can’t compare to where it was in the past. They are definitely experiencing operational issues this season.

I have enjoyed coming here for many years. Easy parking, fair pricing, and on weekdays, is like having the mountain to yourself. I have only two critiques: First, the website and purchasing format, is awful. Too many confusing and unnecessary steps to make a reservation. Second, the lifts are painfully slow. On COLD and windy days, it feels like an eternity up in those chairs. When Catamount was taken over by new ownership, they immediately put a lot of money and effort into its redevelopment. I was hoping that high speed lifts were among the investments! That said, the grooming and trail diversity alone, makes it worth the trip...

Great conditions and hardly anyone on the mountain (Monday).

I came to Catamount in January 2017 for a quick day of skiing. The area has had no snow at all, but the snowmaking was decent. Conditions aside, the skiing is quite good. However, the facilities are in serious need of updating. The facilities are extremely old and outdated. The main "lodge," and I hesitate to call it that, had 3 toilets in the main restroom, with old, creaky doors that barely worked. The cafeteria was very small, did not have anywhere near enough seating, and again just very outdated. It's fine for a quick ski day, but don't expect much. I will not be returning.
I am a good expert skier, skied all my life and this mtn is good enough for a quick getaway for making turns. Its not Vail but it has a few decent trails to make tracks on. Bumps form on some of the trails if thats your deal, but there are some nice longish runs to make some nice GS turns too. Go Play!
