WINDHAM MOUNTAIN— WHERE FAMILY FUN IS #1

Rising majestically above the skyline of the picturesque town of Windham is Windham Mountain Resort, a yearround playground that has provided families with more than 60 years of vertical fun. This year, with more than $9 million invested in improvements, Windham is looking to go “above and beyond” in providing memorable ski experiences for its patrons.

If you’re new to skiing and don’t know what that means, here’s a quick translation: shorter lines, fewer crowds, and more time to ski.

The lift also provides better access up to and down from the mid-mountain Wheelhouse Mountain Lodge, a central eatery with breathtaking views.

The overhead cover protects skiers from wintery weather and helps keep this uphill moving sidewalk operating reliably when the snowfall is abundant.
