This mountain is not for first-time skiers. But, those who can brave it will surely enjoy the views and the long trails (by East Coast standard). We were there in late March and the skiing was still terrific. The summit views are breathtaking and there is even a raised viewing platform that you can climb up to. The winds are... More

I took my two sons to Wildcat on a sunny March weekend. In what has been a terrific year, we came up the weekend after a rainy spell and cold snap. All things considered, Wildcat recovered well. There were plenty of icy spots on the mountain, but the groomers were in good shape. Due to a lack of open terrain,... More

Our 2nd time to Wildcat proved to be as awesome as our 1st time. We recently skied 2 days there (we were staying at the Attitash Grand Summit and our lift tickets were good for both Attitash/Bear Peak & Wildcat). Because of the elevation, the snow at Wildcat is better (IMHO). Luv luv luv the highspeed quad to the summit.... More

Hardy souls know Wildcat for a cold windy summit. But on nice days it is the most beautiful place in the East.I even like it on the cold cloudy, snowy windy days. Out of the way, and that is a good thing! I love this place.

The ski at Wildcat is always really good but last weekend it was the best. Nope, no powder but great groomed slopes and very little traffic. The hosts were just super and took time to come and chat with us and make sure that our day was perfect. Even the parking attendants were courteous. I will no doubt be our... More

I went here over MLK weekend and expected it to be extremely crowded. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people not there. I didn't have to wait much more than 5 min to get up any lift. Its not the biggest mountain I've ever been to, but it is the tallest in the area which allow for... More

This is a great mountain for families. They have lots of longer trails which are easy for beginners.

As a long time skier here.The new owners have ruined the mountain.No snow making!! Very limited trails.They have had many time's to make snow and choose not too. I guess waiting for mother nature and we know how that works.The grooming is terriable.Dont know what improvements they made except the TVs in the Lodge which are useless.Put it into improving...

The title says it all- the views are breathtaking- the runs are well groomed and long for the east- the only problem is that it is quite cold when windy because of its orientation. But on a day without wind it is an exceptional place to ski- loved it and hope to return in the future. Just check the weather... More
