Ski Report for Catamount Mountain Resort Ski Report
Daily Ski Conditions for Catamount Mountain Resort Ski Report
If you're itching for fresh tracks at Catamount Mountain Resort, the vibe right now is all about early-season enthusiasm despite limited coverage. The resort recently opened for the season and has a selection of trails ready to explore—about 9 out of 41 trails are open—but lifts are currently not operating, so plan accordingly if you're heading out there for some early December skiing or snowboarding. The terrain open mainly caters to novice and intermediate levels, offering just under 1,000 vertical feet of skiable fun from both the New York and Massachusetts summits, with a new lift joining the lineup to spread you out and keep the flow going. While snowmaking is working on some trails, many remain closed due to natural snow still building up. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any new snowfall in the past 24 or 48 hours, and no significant snow is forecast for the coming week, so natural snow is limited and likely patchy[1][4][9].
Weather-wise, the conditions are crisp and clear with temperatures ranging around the mid-30s Fahrenheit at the base, dipping slightly cooler at the summit. Expect mostly dry weather for the next several days with highs hovering in the 50s Fahrenheit by day but cooling back down at night. This kind of weather means the snow on the slopes could be firm and possibly icy in spots, especially where snowmaking hasn't fully covered the terrain. Off-piste conditions may vary greatly—where there is snow, wind and sun could create crusty patches or slush, but some colder pockets might keep powder stashes around longer if you find them[4][6][10].
Since the season total snowfall and precise current snow depths at base and summit are not reported yet, this early ski season is definitely about making the most of what’s available. Night skiing conditions and passholder perks are in full swing, so bringing your skis after the sun sets can be a great way to extend your day and enjoy lighter crowds. Visitors should note there is currently no uphill travel allowed, and some trails like Spencer’s Way and Birch Glade remain closed for now. Snowmaking continues to boost coverage where possible to prep for better conditions in the weeks ahead[1].
In essence, Catamount is rolling out an exciting early season with community energy and some new lines to test — just temper your expectations regarding snow depth and fully open terrain. With a vertical drop of about 1,000 feet and plenty of beginner-friendly runs groomed and ready, it’s perfect for locals eager to get the season started and enjoy a stroll or glide on fresh snow under clear skies. Keep an eye on the weather for any potential snow updates, but for now, this is a weekend asking for crisp layers, your edges sharpened, and a good dose of stoke for the start of winter fun at Catamount.
