Cataloochee Ski Area is Blowing Snow Like Crazzzzzzy!

For all you ski and snowboard fans out there, Cataloochee Ski Area is open and blowing lots of snow.  Beginning Saturday, December 17th, night skiing begins and continues each night through the end of the season, except for Christmas Eve.  Cataloochee is currently operating on a base of 24 to 44 inches on 9 trails, and open to the top of the mountain.  As I am writing this, in the middle of the afternoon, it is 28 degrees in “downtown” Maggie Valley, and 21.9 degrees at the ski area.  Needless to say, the snow guns are going full tilt to get as much base down as possible with this great weather for snow-making.

The weather forecast for Cataloochee is a high of 33 degrees on Friday with some late night snow, changing over to a bit of rain on Saturday.  Morning showers on Sunday, and cooler again Monday, with a high of 40 degrees on Monday.

So, bottom line, come on up to Maggie Valley, stay awhile, and ski or board awhile.  We’ll  be watching for you.
