Have had the pleasure of hitting the slopes at Windham twice this ski season. Great mountain. Has a plethora of trails that have a wide array of difficulty. High speed lifts also allow for more time on the actual slopes instead of waiting in line. Go during the week though! On the weekends this place is packed. I'd give 5 stars but the lift ticket is pricey, with little to no discounts during the week as well. read more

I visited Windham during Covid and not only were the conditions great but the lines were very manageable. Tickets are expensive but I suppose they are making up the lost revenue from its limited ticket sales. Job well done Windham! read more

The guys in the Demo center get an A+. Great selection and they got me geared up in 5 minutes or less. If you have your own boots and want to rent premium equipment in a hurry, it is the way to go. The price is nearly the same as renting marginal skis. I like the rental process for my son's equipment. It is a multi stage system that keeps the crowd moving down the line rapidly. The longest wait was to pay. I loved that you can buy lift tickets for everyone in your group there even if not renting. It helps keep your family together and out of that long ticket line. There is also a good package for kids that includes lift, rentals and 90 min lesson. The mountain has a good variety of slopes. I am an expert level skier transplanted from the West, but didn't get to check out the so called double diamonds. I was working with my son all day. The snowmaking coverage was pretty impressive. We were there following a storm that dropped about a foot of fresh pow and they were busy making more. I got two runs in during my son's lesson and was surprised by the length. I was limited to two runs because of the huge lift lines. That part blew. I will have to try again midweek on a non-holiday. I would give more stars if it weren't for the horrific coordination of the lessons. Inside they told us to go out to the right for ski lessons, which was wrong. We had time to ski a little before the lesson in the beginner area to the right (thinking we were near the lesson location). When we went to get the kids in the lesson, each mtn employee sent us to a different person. After 4 employee pass-offs and 25 minutes, we got to the right place. The lesson itself was good. The instructor Scott was great with the kids. He also gave great instructions on what my son needed to work on to get better. We has the afternoon to work on it together and he had a great time. The solution to the coordination problem (which had many parents similarly pissed off) is to put a couple lesson liaisons outside 15 minutes before the lessons to actively guide people in the right direction. Maybe a map printed on the lesson ticket showing an "X" where to meet? read more

Windham Mountain Club - Great bunny slope with chairlift for kids. - Ski Resorts Near Me - Windham, New York

See all

This mountain or hill rather is nothing more than a giant disappointment. Not only do they have the audacity to charge $90, as is they were a top VT resort, but they don't even have all of the lifts running, which let me point out, that they must be from the the 1970's and take 15 minutes to even get to the "top". In my opinion Hunter Mtn is far superior in regards to terrain, distance, quality of lifts, snow making, and most importantly.... cost! read more

We always have a good time at Windham ski resort. The staff really goes out of their way to make sure there's way above average conditions on All the hills. Much more so than at Hunter. Much higher caliber of people than at most near new york city resorts and far less snowboarders. Also, theres a grrat bar with live music at the base of the resort. Love the fun times we've had there. read more

Horrible! Don't bother with this place. Skip over and go to hunter mountain. They are not friendly at all and conditions are horrible. They tell you they will refund an hour in and when you want refund they don't give it to you!!!! I will never come here again! read more

Rebecca is great! Thank you for taking care of us- the real OG, 7 Years Strong! -Catherine

Windham Mountain used to be amazing,for 12 years!!Now, under the new owners,the prices for EVERYTHING, have SKY ROCKETED, but the food and service at the lodge,have hit ROCK BOTTOM! SO Let down!Hunter Mountain is so close,anD so worth the price!! read more

My experience post is in regards to the tubing and the cafe in the tubing park. Tubing is much smaller than described. Short runs. My daughter and I even walked up the hill because it took less time than getting the tube pulled. You can go two at a time which is nice if you have smaller kids. The cafe in the tubing park is absolutely horrible. The prices are outrageous. Like $7 for a tiny frozen dried up pizza and the hot dogs are $6. The burgers are $9 and look nasty. This place should lower their prices or get higher quality food. And the cafe supervisor (didn't get her name) has such an attitude. read more

It's always a good time skiing at Windham Mountain. My husband and I have been coming up to Windham for the last 7 years. We most recently were here on Friday for the day. Unfortunately, they no longer sell discount tickets on Liftopia, so we were definitely disappointed. My husband was able to purchase a discounted lift ticket from our B&B (Albergo Allegria). So, he saved $10 off the regular price. I wasn't able to do that since I needed to rent skis and poles. So, I opted for the $89 option which includes a lower mountain lift ticket, equipment rentals, and a group lesson. For what I needed, this was the best option. And when I went for my lesson, there weren't too many people there, so I ended up getting a private lesson with Don "Coach". He was awesome and really helped build my confidence back up since I hadn't been on skis in a few years (the last time we were up here I was nursing a sprained ankle, so hubby skied solo while I camped out in the lodge). He reinforced techniques and was very thorough. Since the last time we were there, they changed some things around. They no longer have the big bins you can rent to store your gear in. Instead, they have installed new lockers that are connected to a ATM like machine. You select the locker size you want (they have 3 sizes available) and then it assigns you a locker and lets you pick a 4 digit pin. Since the hubby and I both have Boot Bags for our ski boots, we decided to get the largest locker. It was $12 and easily fit 2 large Boot Bags. Many people opt to just leave their boot bags in cubbies in the lodge, but for $12 this gave me piece of mind that our stuff would still be there when we got back. They also added 3 changing rooms near the lockers. This is probably my favorite addition. This makes things so much simpler. I was able to strip down and change out of my ski clothes and there is even a bench in there to sit on. In previous years, I was forced to change in the ladies room, which really lacks privacy. It was difficult in the tiny stalls, even difficult in the handicap stall. So, props on the changing rooms! I am a huge fan. The hubby and I brought a few drinks with us and some light snacks (grapes, chips, pretzels, etc.) The food they sell is alright, nothing great, but it's certainly pricey. We bought a Chili ($5.99) and a Turkey Wrap ($10.99). It's expensive, but they have the market cornered. My recommendation is to bring a cooler with pre-made sandwiches or salads. They offer a variety of trails for any skill level. The snow was nicely groomed and perfect for skiing when we were there. read more

Had an 09/10 season pass here. My favorite place out of catskills / poconos BUT there are significant Cons: - Parking: BAD. went on a pow day and there was a 2-3 hr wait just to get into the parking area. parked in the snowtubing park and had a 10 minute trek to the lifts. - Price: expensive! bring college ID for a discount or get a triple play card. - Lift Lines: poorly managed (and scanners don't work well). can be a problem on a busy day. - Difficult for Beginners: Of the 2 peaks, there is only 1 green trail from top to bottom. This is on the windiest peak (lift closes often) and is therefore icy. On a windy day, beginners should just go to upper wraparound and the blue trails or stay at the lower mountain area. So now I can tell you why I like going here: - Wide variety of terrain: nice moguls, a trail with monstrous protruding moguls, steeps, wide trails, rollers, jumps etc. - Terrain features are pretty nice and the terrain park near the peak is constantly evolving and changing. I went once and there were modest jumps (take-offs and landings built really well) and small rails, and the next week there was a Boarder-X speed course with banks, bumps, and jumps that you could race through - huge adrenaline high racing 4 lanes wide. - Conditions are consistently good. I was really surprised how almost every single day of my season there had good conditions. 20+ days so their snowmaking must be top-notch. Doesn't mean you won't see some ice on steeps and high traffic areas. - Windham really shines on a pow day - you won't get stuck anywhere and you can get to untouched snow pretty easily (follow the lift lines). - Staff: there are some really cute argentinian girls working here! read more

we bought a twilight ticket for 2pm-8pm but at 4pm all lifts but a tiny slow one closed. when i asked why do you sell night tickets if you cant really ski after 4pm, customer service asked me if i know how much it costs to make snow. restaurant service is very slow and they dont care. portions are enormous. Definitely would not reccomend and is a waste of money. read more

my inaugural ski experience, so i may not be the best rater, ...but I loved this place. Perhaps merely because this was my first time and I would have love it anywhere.... The group lesson included in my day-pass was awesome, perhaps because I was fortuitously paired with a Rastafarian instructor, and because my group consisted of only myself and two others. The place was clean and for the most part well-run. (A notable exception being the two jaded teenage girls who were simply too cool to offer assistance to my clumsy-first-timer-ass visibly struggling to don board boots...) Mountain was plenty intimidating enough for me, but not exactly a challenge for my experienced companions... nonetheless, we all had a blast. read more

I love windham and the town! The people are so friendly and down to earth that it's a hard to believe people like that still exist! The mountain takes care of the snow, there were barely any icy spots and the snow wasn't to hard. The food is basically comfort food, which is good. They had a nice bar upstairs overlooking the mountains and the lifts. The view windham mountain has are breathe taking! read more

Here for an end of summer trip. Stayed at a near by bed and breakfast 4 minutes away by car and drove to the resort in the early morning on a Saturday. There were zero lines. In the morning, they offer yoga on the mountain, it is a beautiful experience - highly recommend! Then I hit the bike trail. As a complete beginner, I hit the beginner/intermediate trail (an easier one is currently being constructed but not done yet). I did not take lessons prior to the trails but would highly recommend a lesson. Staff was incredibly friendly, encouraging and efficient. Food court was not open possibly because it's the off season summer months. Overall rest experience! read more

My brother and I drove 2 hours to get here from NJ to use the freestyle air-bag. We called right before we left and the correspondent told us it was open. After paying for the extra passes and going up the lift we saw the air bag deflated and roped off. Also, someone stole my jacket and the people at the lost and found were moronic and told me to go look for it. So, that was unhelpful I then had to buy an over priced wind breaker. It was apathetic excuse for a snowboarding jacket for nearly 200$. The mountain itself is decent, I'd say mountain creek is just as good and an hour and a half closer. The jumps in the warm up park are perfect. There wasn't much of a box and rail section. There is a tow rope w some rails to hit which we did for a few runs. The lift lines were manageable probably because it was very windy yesterday. We still opted to use the singles line bc it was a fraction of the wait. There are lots of weekenders from Long Island. There are no gondolas and it was so windy so the chair lift can get cold. The trail map is very straightforward. The lodge looks like a high school cafeteria and serves food of equal quality. Killingtons food is the same price but you get resturAnt quality entrees. I don't mind spending the money if I feel I'm provided a valuable service which overall I felt I was not at Wyndham. read more

The skiing was great. Reggie was a great waiter up at Seasons! The perogis were delicious too and the drink specials were varied and set at a good price. Had a lot of fun. Can't wait to come back. read more

Never go on holiday weekend. Be prepare for rude people especially when you have the first table. I suggest side tables against the building. Better off at killington read more

What a mess! This place truly needs an upgrade. The lines for lifts will have you spending more trying to get up then enjoying the slopes. We waited over 20 mins in one line just to find out the lift wasn't running and they were shutting it down. ridiculous. Wanted to eat lunch at "seasons" and we were told there would be a 30 min wait for a table so we went to the bar and we were told the kitchen was so backed up orders were taking over an hour. Ended up settling for crappy cafeteria food (great chili but cold burgers). Another disappointment was night skiing was limited to 2, 3 person lifts and totally wasn't what we were expecting. Don't think anyone in our group will want to go back. Hope this makes someone reconsider their trip to this place since I can't get either my time or money back! read more

If you are looking for a family friendly mountain with something for everyone this is the place. The staff is super friendly. The management of the lift lines is superb. I can not say enough good stuff about this place. read more

Ski resort is not very friendly. The caffe was not open when I needed coffee. When returning gear was accused of not paying for equipment. I'm thinking more racially profiled since worker has probably never seen Latinos before. I will not be coming again. read more

The mountain itself is good for the Catskills and the lodge is nice. My issue is with the ski schools. We went on Sun Feb 1st and watched a group of 80 kids go on the lift 6 times while we waited to go once. It took us 45 minutes to get on the chair. Insane how they let a giant group like that cut the line, all 80 of them, every single time. I paid $80 for a ticket and $58 for a ticket for my 7 year old Son who was miserable waiting like that. I won't go back. It's a shame and if they end this practice I'll return but if not....never again. read more

Snowboarding/skiing is great. Cafeteria is way too pricy, but SEASONS restaurant is good. Server Liz at SEASONS is terrible though. She kept bugging our party of 5 for a tip. I told the manager, and left a 2 dollar tip. read more

I have to start by saying the Mountain and ski areas are great. Great food, awesome bar, love the place for families BUT beware if you are going to put your 2 year old in the nursery. The first day- my son had a great experience because of this 1 man who was very caring and loving. My son has separation anxiety so this man knew how to comfort him. The following day was awful. My son cried a straight hour and I witnessed one of the younger guys ignoring my son as of he was annoyed. I got a half day refund. The older lady who runs the CLC is rude and nasty and mean. Go enjoy the MT but just check in on your toddlers very often. read more

Fun just cold as fuck. I dont ski but the family does. Clean and so so food . Big area, snow tubing was fun for sure, my neices enjoyed it as well as i. Would come back next year once a year is good enough . read more

I went there to spend a weekend snow tubing - the place had everything I want - snow, reasonable price, friendly employees

I came on Saturday night for a couple of hours, and although it was night skiing, it was pretty quiet considering it was New Years weekend. I had a few really nice rides, but was slipped up quite alot by the ice which ruined most of the trail in some spots. I guess if you want to go to upstate or the Poconos, you deal with some ice. Otherwise, say your prayers for good luck, or just go to Vermont. Skiing there is like heaven. Had a good time overall though. read more

I think Windham can be best described as "decent". Since the advent of global warming, this is probably the best ski resort in the Catskills, and for day trip skiing from New York City, this takes the cake. The snow is decent, though unfortunately most of it is man-made these days. The mountain is pretty spread out, so you can actually get a good day's skiing in, even if you're an aggressive skier. There are some steep hills, though they're short n' sweet. The facilities are good--typical mountain food (chili, burgers, pizza), and the rental shop is decent. They have some demos, though if you're a Type III skier who's renting, don't count on it as their selection of performance gear is small. In all, if you're coming up from the city to ski, come here instead of Hunter. You feel even more like you're "getting away", and the terrain is just much better. Though it's still crowded, it's not AS crowded, and since it's more spread out, the lift lines are shorter. read more

Great snowboard instructors. Waffle Thingies are to dye

Good day of skiing makes things great when you get off the slopes. The resort is excellent and full of amenities. If you have the means and would like a great experience, try this place. If not, there are plenty of other hotels or motor lodges that you can stay at for cheaper. Much cheaper. read more

My go to place when I think about skiing. There are a variety of terrains for all levels and slopes are usually well groomed and powdery. The 2 hour drive from Northern Jersey is manageable but we usually purchase their Ski and Stay package which is a lot more cost effective considering their high lift ticket price. read more

We do all our skiing here in the winter, it's fun, affordable and an easy jaunt from NYC. They have lots of activities for the kids, and even a little shop if you need fresh socks, an ace bandage, poles or some other thing you swore you put in your trunk but you forgot. We usually rent a local farmhouse nearby because accommodation on the mountain is pricey. If you're willing to drive about half an hour to the ski lift, you can save a lot and have a really fun, affordable weekend away from the city. read more

5 stars for college student discount, lower rates comparing to Hunter, less crowded, bar and live music. They have a night skiing for two hills read more

We were here at the resort for a Yoga festival during the summer and the grounds were very nice. The lifts were still running for hikers and mountain bikers as well as those of us who were there for the yoga festival. read more

For a resort that is more expensive than others in the area, I'd expect better. The first two times I skied the mountain, the salesmen were trying to sell me the "Own It" package, which you receive a free pair of skis and bindings on your third day skiing. This package is advertised everywhere - on the website and on huge signs all over the resort. In trying to purchase the package on my third visit, I was told it was sold out yet no sign or salesman had noted that it was "limited time" or "limited quantity" only. The girl at the register said "it's still up because marketing sucks at their job" and the manager didn't have a care in the world about this. Oh - and this was on a day where it took over 90 minutes to get all the rental equipment. My advice - if you want to charge premium prices compared to other mountains within a drive from NYC, then the resort should offer premium service. http://www.windhammountain.com/lessons-programs/tips-for-beginners/ read more

Came here over the holidays and I thought it was great! I am not an avid skiier but I try to go once or twice a year. This year I tried snowboarding for the first time at Windham and I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of slopes with varying difficulty and seemed pretty well maintained. Maybe it was because it was during the holidays, but the lines seemed pretty saturated at times. Luckily for me, there is a side slope where you do not need to go on a lift. There is a belt which carries the beginners only slightly up a hill and I used that. The lines thinned later in the day. I also purchased the lesson package and the teacher was great. He was professional, funny, and very informational. I learned a lot from him as did my friends who also came with me. The reason I am not giving it 5 stars, even though I had a great time, is that the lines seemed long and the food was waayyyyy overpriced. I am not too clear about the price but i believe my mediocre burger cost around 5-6. I would definately come back again.... with a grill lol. read more

Covid super spreaders! I took my family here yesterday and we were really enjoying the tubing, however, proper covid safety measures are not enforced. Some staff members were helping children into tubes without masks on and many guests were not wearing any mask or were wearing it on their chin. We were not spaced 6 ft apart in the lines, so it was impossible to avoid the unsafe people. There was a large group of people not wearing masks that were allowed to scream obscenities and follow no rules. A screaming fight broke out between the anti science group and the mask wearing group. A manager had already been socializing with this group and had allowed them free reign of racing and getting their own tubes so when it was brought to her attention, she joined in ridiculing those who were requesting that mask would be enforced. We were called "clever" names such as "karens". We do not recommend going here as it is unsafe and run by people who do not take CDC guidelines seriously. read more

Windham is great! Have ski'd here for nearly 30 years. The mountain & the town just keep getting better each year. Really good terrain, excellent snowmaking & grooming and really good restaurants in this picture post card ski town. Close to NYC ( 2 3/4 hrs from NYC). read more

So, I have to acknowledge Windham for responding to my feedback. They wrote back with an apology and actually took steps to remedy the situation. Hope it helps. read more

I've been skiing Windham & Hunter for some time now. I've really enjoyed MOST of the hotels & B&B's available in the area but this one by far is the most convenient. The hotel is the main building which offers a cozy fireplace in the lobby with free internet, there's a patio in the front that overlooks their pool/recreation area which is fantastic BUT the view of the slopes really can be seen with clarity. THE BEST PART is there's a restaurant that is now southwest/cuban fusion cuisine with a chef that is outgoing and can really please any pallet. The rooms, some are average in design and can use some updating, they range from standard rooms to larger suites & can sleep a big group and the others are remodeled after the condos on the property which are absolutely convenient and beautiful. The one main thing is, the rooms are always clean, the staff pleasant & informative & the free shuttle & continental breakfast is a plus. The condo buildings are clean & maintained, 2 levels and offer studio to 2 bedroom units. They are well equipped, clean & offer a little bit more privacy (SOME with AMAZING views). There's a game room, fitness center (outranks alot of the others) and also a movie theater for family night with the kids. They are owned by Windham Moutnain & offer the cheapest ski n stay & golf n stay packages although the webiste needs to be updated, the staff is well informed and very helpful on giving great deals. 518-734-3000. I think this is definitely a place to stay as I noticed while at the bar, (which has an awesome outdoor firepit) that the guests are returning & loyal so that sums it up~ Here are some reviews on the other locations, Vienna nice & operators are great but it's small you don't really get to enjoy the indoor pool & hot tub because it's across a lot. The Thompson house smells like moth balls, the Bed On Clouds the woman is nasty and I read reviews that supported that LMAO. Hope this is helpful! read more
