Catamount Ski Area, Mountain ski resort in Egremont, United States.
Catamount Ski Area is a ski resort straddling the border between New York and Massachusetts in the northeastern United States. The terrain covers a range of runs spread across the hillside, served by multiple lifts including quad chairs and surface lifts.
Catamount opened in the 1930s, making it one of the older ski areas on the East Coast. After a period of reduced operations, it underwent a full redevelopment around 2018 that brought new lifts and updated facilities.
Catamount is known locally as a place where families return year after year, especially for beginner and junior programs. The mountain draws a mix of riders from both Massachusetts and New York, giving it a cross-state community feel.
The resort runs mainly on weekends and select weekdays, so checking the schedule before visiting is a good idea. Night skiing is offered on certain evenings, which can be a draw for those who want to ski after dark.
The state line between New York and Massachusetts runs right through the ski area, meaning a single run can take you from one state into the other. This geographic detail is easy to miss on the slopes but makes Catamount one of the few resorts in the country where you can literally ski across a state border.
