Windham Mountain have great teachers. I have been to other mountains for skiing and didn't have good teachers. Windham was the best teacher who gave us clear lesson on how to ski. The tips actually worked and 7 out of 8 in out group felt confident to go skiing on their own after the lesson.
Its a very lively environment with music and great food! highly recommend it.

Had a good day of skiing with my snowboarder friend Sat Jan 7 despite the poor conditions. Just enough of the mountain was open to use the good chairlifts and hit usable terrain. We recommend skiing the upper East side or left side of the mountain in the AM then moving over to the Western side in the afternoon. This helps during unseasonably warm temperatures and assisted in avoiding sun exposure of the melting slopes. Liftopia tickets were an easy pickup w just a driver's license. I wouldn't want to pay full price for a mountain that is barely half operational!
Windham is definitely worth the trip but especially via Liftopia.

I purchased an adult lift ticket via Liftopia for use this past Saturday. I brought my son on Saturday so he could join me on the slopes. He's a 4th grader in N.Y. State. In N.Y., 4th graders ski free at N.Y. mountains such as Windham. The kids can ski for free at each mountain three times a season. When I picked up my Liftopia ticket at guest services, they would not allow me to use my son's N.Y. ski free ticket. Windham said I had to purchase a full-price lift ticket in order to use my son's N.Y. ski free ticket. So, in the end, it cost me more to use my Liftopia ticket and purchase a ticket for my son, then if I just purchased a full-price ticket.
So, Windham has lost me as a future customer. That policy, coupled with the less than challenging slopes, will have us skiing elsewhere for the remainder of the season. Windham, catch you later. Much.
For Liftopia, I will use your service in the future.

Visited Windham for the first time on 3/20/11.
Great weather! Snow conditions were decent for the spring. Just keep your ears open and you'll find out which blacks & double blacks are in good condition for that day, and stick with those. Would've liked better conditions on MORE of those trails--but what can you do, it's the Ice Coast.
Mini park could use some work...seems like they don't really care too much about that. Bummed me out since I was looking for some small freestyle features that day. Oh well. Boarder/Ski-X was fun, though.
A+ for the atmosphere! Great bacon cheeseburgers and WAFFLE CABIN! :D

Treated myself to a day of skiing on Monday, March 28th. It was unusually cold, and I had the mountain almost all to myself (maybe 100 skiers there in the first hour). Most trails were groomed, but wind kicked up and things got a bit icy. Nothing Windham Mtn could have done about it since it was late spring and the cold streak probably contributed to the ice. Overall, a very enjoyable day. People that work here are ALL very nice, down to the last person. They seem genuinely friendly and glad that you are here.
Overall, I would describe Windham as a bigger version of Butternut. More variety, but just as friendly.

Saturday(3/26)was a great day to ski at Windham. Great Liftopia price, Parrot Heads, and no lift lines. A little icy at the top, but no real problem. Otherwise, well groomed and a fun day.

my husband and I had a great time Sunday March 27. Bluebird (which is rare) and nice conditions. Top of the mountain was a bit icy but no issue since we're intermediate/advanced. Beginner trails were very nicely groomed with no ice so we skied those too with speed! Very grateful for the discount $ afforded us by this great website :)

We went to Windham Mountain for the Parrot Head Spring Festival!!!!! We had an Amazing time! The conditions were perfect! The discount we got on the lift tickets helped us pay for my sons friend to go with him. The boys said the trails were perfect and the lift line went fast! Jimmy and the Parrots showed everyone a good time. The pond skimming was something to see! The whole day was so perfect! Thanks to Liftopia and Windham Mountain for a great time! We will definitely return next year!

Liftopia discount was the reason I went to Windham on Friday 3/25. I found the conditions awesome thanks to recent 6" of new snow! Nearly all trails were open and was flying down at speeds of 30 to 40 mph! I can tell because I wear a GPS. They are open for 1 more week and I am planning on going 1 more time. Thanks Liftopia for saving me some $$.

Had a great day at Windham thanks to Liftopia tickets. Just presented the printout of the confirmation letter and got my tickets to ski for $50 total for the day for two skiiers. The conditions were good not great but the day was sensational!

Windham was good times, went there with another beginner friend of mine. We usually do mtn creek and the trails here are much longer and challenging. We got there pretty early, and the trails were pretty icy at first. The sun came out and melted it a bit and the rest of the day was great. Overall nice place to board.

Liftopia is a breeze and Windham is a great ski area. They always have the trails expertly groomed and have a nice variety of runs. The lift staff are always courteous and the mountain has always been and remains a great place for children and families. The live band in the bar at the base lodge is always something to look forward to as well. Solid hill.
