 A
year-round resort town, Windham's beautiful mountain scenery will take your
breath away; whether you go in summer or winter, it's safe to say you'll return
refreshed!
Consisting of two mountains,
with 1600 feet of vertical drop and 46 trails, Windham Mountain offers skiing,
snowboarding, snowtubing, and night skiing.
 When you get off the slopes,
enjoy everything the magnificent lodge has to offer, like the on-site movie theatre,
fitness center, game room, and ice-skating rink.
Additionally, Windham
Mountain offers "First Tracks," a guided morning mountain tour, before
the public is allowed on the slopes.
(And don't forget that Windham Mountain is just one attraction in New York State's
Greene County, which abounds in exciting
recreational possibilities year-round!
