In its five-plus decades, the Windham Mountain Resort has attracted generations of families drawn by its friendly vibe, first-time skiers eager to brave the slopes, loyal intermediates who return season after season, and top-notch snow athletes who rave about Windham’s challenging black diamond runs.
It boasts 285 skiable acres with 54 trails (including five recently added; nine are open at night), and 97 percent snowmaking. Windham (its top elevation is 3,100 feet) even offers Snow Check vouchers for the rare days when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
