With the Catskills’ highest vertical and 98% snowmaking coverage, Windham makes the most of Northeast winter. Our world-class snowmaking crew blankets over 700 acres with a thick base of snow and grooms our natural snow for the best ski conditions in the East. New trails, the longest of the three trails is a classic New England intermediate off of the East Peak that winds it way down the forest and into the greater trail system.
