Windham is just two hours-and-a-half from our Urban Sherpa pick-up locations in the city. If you haven’t been to Windham, sign up and experience Windham’s expansive runs. The consensus with all our leaders: Windham has more to offer for every skier and boarder.
Just starting out? Wooly Bear is the perfect slope for practicing your stops and turns. Getting better? Ride the Westside Six chair and take Wide Connection to Upper Wipeout then turn down Lower Wipeout for a mile’s worth of practice. Intermediates looking for an adrenaline rush can check out Upper and Lower Wolverine or Upper Wiseacres. Experts out for a sick run should definitely hit Upper Wheelchair or head out to the east peak.
A good way to keep things interesting is to visit the Jib Park. It’s full of rails, hits, and features that change on a regular basis.
This is a beginner park with small rails, jumps and rollers. Perfect for working on your skills before tackling the bigger stuff.
Currently set up with medium-sized jumps and skiercross/boardercross banked turns.
his park includes Expert to Advanced features which can include large step downs, large step-ups, large tabletops, and advanced boxes and rails.
The restaurants of Windham Mountain Club offer a variety of fine and casual food and a range of dining atmospheres.

A parent or legal guardian must complete and bring along a Minor Permissions Slip for each child age sixteen (16) and under.
Your bindings settings usually follow your batting stance. If you are right-handed and bat right-handed, then you will probably feel most comfortable with your left foot forward (regular). If you are left-handed or bat “lefty,” then you will likely feel right foot forward is more natural (goofy).
These are just guidelines to start. We can help you find the right fit for your ride.
Determining your ski ability is your responsibility!
Your ski ability, height, weight, age, and boot-sole length are used by the shop to determine the visual indicator settings of your ski bindings.

These descriptions are compatible with ASTM and ISO documents.
