About Wildcat Mountain
Wildcat is a no-frills White Mountains ski area known for a long vertical, rugged terrain and a setting directly across Pinkham Notch from the Presidential Range.
Wildcat’s Pinkham Notch setting makes weather and visibility part of trip planning. Read the official report for wind, available lifts, open trails and operating changes before departure.
Use the latest trail map and posted status to choose routes suited to your group. A route mentioned in older coverage, including Polecat, still needs a current opening and conditions check.
