Date(s) Skied: 2/13 - 2/14
Resort or Ski Area: Windham Mountain
Conditions: Packed powder, crowded.
Trip Report: Great two days at Windham. Lift lines were long, but manageable. Trails were not too crowded if you stayed off Wraparound & Wanderer. Wiseacers was the ROTD both days. Why Not was an absolute blast, but there was one headwall that was complete boilerplate. Saturday was colder (20F), but less windy and sunny. Sunday was around 30F, cloudy and a light flurry was falling all day. Winds were fierce at times, causing some wind holds on G lift.
I took my first legit wipeout of the season on Sunday coming off Wedgie. I was hitting the little pow stashes off the sides of the trails when I hit something under the snow. I double ejected, did a front flip and landed on my back in two feet of blown in powder and some shrubbery. I was laughing pretty hard, but everyone kept asking me if I was hurt.
Mrs Root skied pretty good. She hit the blues pretty hard and even took a run through the park. She's also starting to ski a little faster. There's lots of bump runs there. I took some pics for everyone since I don't think Windham gets a fair shake sometimes.
Windham really expanded their patio area. Could make for a really fun springtime party scene. We stayed at the Bavarian Manor in Purling, NY. Fun place & super friendly people. Lots of German beers (and people too)!
