Windham - 01/21/2004

Date(s) Skied: Wednesday, Jan 21, 2004

Resort or Ski Area: Windham

Conditions: packed machine-groomed

Trip Report: took advantage of online deal - $15 dollar tickets ordered 3 weeks in advance - got to the mountain at 9 am to find total power failure... apparently some critter got into a transformer and shorted it out... Fortunately, by 9:30, most everything was up and running.... This was the first time I've been to Windham in 20 years... pleasantly surprised by polite, helpful staff, no lift lines, cold but no wind - great day of skiing. My two office mates (including my supervisor) played hooky to enjoy the ticket bargain and had a blast. Some of the terrain was wind-blown and very hard-pack, bordering on ice, but very few true icy patches. Definitely worth the trip

hey, thanks for posting a report on windham, i have always wanted to give it a try.
is there any really steep, bumped or good glades there?

I didn't notice any tree skiing (at least legally) there... It offered a lot of "blue square" terrain, with which I am most comfortable (yeah, I know - but I'm an ol' lady )
They did have some steep, mogully runs, and the terrain park looked to me to be quite challenging, complete with what I would call "cliff jumps" . Here's their trail mix:
