"Ready, set, SNOOOW! What's better than the start of snowmaking? An official opening date - and we're here to deliver the goods. We will most certainly ski you soon, friends... Wednesday, November 12th from 9:00 AM until 4:30 PM to be exact. Get out the wax and call in sick because it's going down! Well, up the chairlift first and then down. Cataloochee began snowmaking earlier this week as cold air surged across the southern Appalachians, creating ideal conditions for early-season snowmaking."
"Due to significant incoming inquiries regarding pre-purchasing passes for tomorrow, we made the decision to push pass and rental products live for tomorrow through the weekend," the resort said, reminding guests that quantities are limited and advance purchase is recommended. Cataloochee's early opening continues a strong start to the season for the eastern U.S., where an early November cold front has brought sustained below-freezing temperatures and even natural snow to higher elevations from West Virginia to New England."
Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley will open for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, November 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The resort began snowmaking earlier in the week as cold air surged across the southern Appalachians, enabling early-season coverage. A surge of inquiries prompted the resort to make pass and rental products available for purchase for opening weekend, with limited quantities. An early November cold front produced sustained below-freezing temperatures and natural snow across higher eastern elevations, prompting other resorts north of North Carolina to prepare to open. Unusually warm conditions in the western U.S. have delayed snowmaking and openings there.
