Skiing on the border in Catamount

This Ski season I finally left the uncommonly good conditions of NEPA and ventured out to the NY- Mass border to ski Catamount for the first time. The weather was sunny and 25 degrees and no wind ,perfect. It's always awesome when you get that first glimpse of the mountain on the drive up. Catamount did not disappoint. We arrived to no crowds and perfect conditions with most all trails opened. We lapped all trails including Catapult ,which they closed for grooming right after we hit it. It was boiler plate to the max and really made us appreciate the conditions of the other steeper trails that were groomed into edgeable snow. Halfway down Catapult we encountered a stranded terrified skier that after a while side slipped it down. You never really hear about Catamount, maybe cause of size, location but if your within a two hr drive give it a try.
