Skiing is one of the most fun winter activities in the Catskills. Whether it’s a challenging ski course, a family-friendly ski day, or cross-country skiing through the forest, it’s a great way to spend a winter day.

Here’s a list of our favorite spots to ski in the Catskills.

You can get day tickets or a frequent skier pass. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as tickets can sell out fast.
