Cross-Country Skiing

Catoctin Mountain Park

Generally, the best skiing is along certain sections of park roads which are closed to vehicular traffic.

There are a number of places in the park which, when the weather cooperates, afford good skiing for the beginner and intermediate. Catoctin Mountain has snow conditions that are often significantly different from conditions in the nearby metropolitan areas. Conditions change quickly, so skiers are advised to phone (301) 663-9388, or to stop at the Visitor Center before embarking on a ski adventure.
