Catamount Ski Area, located on the Massachusetts / New York state line near South Egremont , Massachusetts, is one of the oldest original operating ski areas in the Northeast.


Catamount first opened in 1939. The mountain was served by three rope tows - two 1,000' long, the third 800' long. A 500-vertical-foot climb was required to reach the summit.


In the subsequent 30 years, Catamount has remained one of the top recreation draws in the Berkshires, thanks to philosophy of continually improving and expanding the ski and snowboard product.


Trail expansions and improvements included such popular runs as Sidewinder (originally built in 1990, and re-cut and re-graded in 2001; Catapult, the steepest run in the Berkshires; Upper Promenade, which now gives beginners a mile-long run and affords more experienced skiers a 2 ½ mile route from the summit, and one of the Berkshire's best snow terrain parks.


In 2006 , Catamount replaced the old Ridge Run Double Chair with a new Summit Quad Chair Lift.This increased uphill capacity to the summit tremendously. Also, Boardercross was moved to Sunrise and expanded for double the fun.


Snowmaking has been continually expanded and improved upon over the years. Today, more than 98 percent of terrain is covered.
