About our Ski Mountain:
Catamount Mountain Resort is a four-season resort straddling the NY / Massachusetts border just about 2 hours from NYC.

Catamount has undergone a stunning transformation since the summer of 2018. A new lift, new lodge, hundreds of new snow guns, four snow making ponds, miles of pipe, and countless other upgrades make Catamount one of the best small ski areas on the East coast.
