Cataloochee Ski Area 

Cataloochee Ski Area, North Carolina’s first ski area, has been the home of “Great Skiing in the Great Smokies” for over 60 years.  Cataloochee has one of largest snowmaking plants in the country and is typically one of the first areas in the East to open each year, averaging 127 days per season.  Cataloochee offers 18 slopes and trails with a variety of options for beginners to experts.

Down in Maggie Valley, you and your family can enjoy Tube World, located four miles from the ski area, for hours of snowtubing fun!  Tube World has up to 10 lanes and a conveyor carpet lift that carried you back to the top of the tube run. Tubing typically opens mid to late December and continues to early March.

Current snow conditions for the ski area and the tube world are available anytime at www.cataloochee.com or click their webcams page to see live cams from the ski area.
