The Catamount Zip Tour is an approximately a two-hour experience including three dual zipline spans. After practicing on the Demo span in the base area, you will ride the Ridge Quad chairlift or ATV to the summit, arriving just steps away from the approximately 1,000-foot Ridge span. Here you get the feel of riding down this gradual zipline before you move on to prove yourself on the thrilling, uninterrupted 1,000-drop of the CataMonster span. The CataMonster is 5,523 feet long, the longest zipline in the US! *This is a high-speed cable ride with customer-operated braking and will require low to moderate physical strength and stamina.
