Catamount Mountain Resort Awaits Winter's Arrival: Early-Season Snowmaking Hopes and Forecasts
Ski Report for Catamount Mountain Resort
Daily Ski Conditions for Catamount Mountain Resort
# Catamount Mountain Resort Ski Report
Well, here's the honest truth: Catamount is currently closed and there's no snow on the mountain. As of mid-November 2025, the resort sits dormant with zero lifts spinning and zero trails open. The base and summit are completely bare, with no measurable snow depth to speak of. It's the reality of early season in Southern New England, where Mother Nature hasn't yet blessed us with the white stuff we're all craving.
But don't lose hope! The resort is gearing up for what promises to be an exciting season ahead. Management is already running test operations behind the scenes, and they're actively making snow once conditions allow. Looking at the extended forecast, there's actually some promising weather on the horizon that could signal the start of the season sooner rather than later.
The current conditions show a crisp early-season pattern typical for late November in this region. Temperatures are hovering in the mid-30s to low-40s, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies dominating the weather picture. There's been a light rain here and there, which isn't ideal for snowmaking, but it's part of the seasonal progression we have to endure.
Looking ahead at the five-day forecast, things get more interesting. By Friday, temperatures are expected to dip into the low 30s, with a 50 percent chance of snow in the evening. That's the kind of signal skiers live for. Weekend conditions show much colder air moving in, with highs only in the mid-40s and lows dropping well below freezing. This is prime snowmaking territory. The forecast then transitions to mostly cloudy conditions with temperatures staying in the freezing range through the following week.
In terms of the mountain itself, Catamount boasts 44 trails spread across 1,000 feet of vertical descent when it does open for the season. The resort maintains an impressive 93 percent snowmaking coverage, which is huge for a smaller New England resort. You've got 22 trails lit for night skiing, eight lifts including two quads, and terrain split nicely between 35 percent beginner, 42 percent intermediate, and 23 percent advanced runs. The longest run stretches nearly two miles, offering decent length for a mountain in this region.
The typical snowfall pattern here is 46 inches per year over about 13 snowfall events, so don't expect the massive accumulations you might find out West. But what Catamount lacks in natural snowfall, it makes up for with comprehensive snowmaking and smart grooming practices. Four grooming machines keep the slopes maintained when snow is available.
For visitors planning a trip, the resort is easily accessible, sitting just 2.5 hours from New York City on the Massachusetts-New York border. Once the season opens, night skiing will be available on 22 trails, making it perfect for after-work sessions.
The bottom line: Catamount is a work in progress right now, but the infrastructure and forecasts suggest opening day isn't too far away. Keep your eye on the forecast, because that first real cold snap with snow is coming, and when it does, this mountain will transform from a brown hillside into a skier's playground. Welcome to the waiting game, but patience usually pays off in New England.
