"Also, the new owners have a right to do what they think will make them the most profit. " Depends on if any tax breaks are in play and to what extent there is conflict of interest with council members who are also employed by Windham, which the email specifically mentions. The email also...

To bring this back to Plattekill, the letter mentions daily ski visits of 3,000 plus declining to 600 (non-club member daily visits) as a result of the changes. from public mountain to effectively private.. It's almost certain that a certain percentage of those displaced will end up at...

Finally, a detailed follow-up to the petition. Account needed to read, but I copied and pasted the letter...

Next, we have the following petition campaign: https://www.change.org/p/stop-windham-mountain-from-going-private?original_footer_petition_id=14068080&algorithm=promoted&source_location=petition_footer&grid_position=13&pt=AVBldGl0aW9uAA%2BHPAIAAAAAZRjCva24FPdjN2ZhOTkwZQ%3D%3D Stop Windham...

Windham Mountain Club Latest developments are troublesome at best given Windham's purposeful lack of transparent communication, and catastrophic at worst if the following information is accurate. First, we have Chip Seaman's latest message: Hi John, The town of Windham and Windham Mountain...

WINDHAM, N. Y., Feb. 8 1969 -- Men's clubs may be dying or doomed to coeducation. Golf clubs and country clubs may be stigmatized as squarely suburban. But clubbiness is definitely reviving among the very segment of the population that ought to be too restless, too mobile, too affluent and too...

I believe it was initially private for a very short time after it opened in 1960, and then reverted to private from 1968 until 1981 when it was purchased by Snow Time (which also owned Roundtop and Liberty in PA).

"I never really heard anything negative with regard to crowding at Plattekill. Would like to hear what others think or heard." I wouldn't say "negative", but more than a few people right here noted an increase in people (cars parked all the way down the road, etc.) this past season when perhaps...

This comment misses the mark for a few reasons. Windham tends to gather a lot of criticism for the wrong reasons in my opinion. The terrain issue is subjective, as clearly many casual visitors don't know the ins and outs of the trail and lift system and miss out on what the locals or frequent...

If this is truly up to date, it looks like the Highmount connection is still very much a possibility, along with two new lifts to the west of Deer Run?

I'm probably going to head up tomorrow. I'll see if I can post an update on the conditions. It's snowing right now up top for the third or fourth day in a row.

North Ridge cam showing a nice coating / dusting of fresh snow currently. Think I'm headed up Friday. Looks like it might be a bit chilly, but should allow for a grooming reset before they reopen. I also don't have a lot of confidence that they'll make it as late as last season with as much snow...

Hmmmmmm. Can't say I'm excited by this press release. “I think it's fair to say it'll be a dramatic difference in our food and beverage,” said Seamans. “We're really excited about that. I think people will notice those changes immediately this coming season.” I read the article but still need...

The rails and features have to be maintained, repaired, and stored in preparation for next year. Windham Parks has a dedicated warehouse workshop, as do most places that are serious about their setups. Lots of overnight work during the season and offseason planning and fabricating.

What's the latest Killington has blown snow on Superstar? Have they ever fired up the guns during a cold spell to fix up some rough patches to help make it last longer into May and even June? I was there 5/13/22 and the conditions were great. This season has me thinking I might need to consider...

Overall, I thought today Thursday 4/13/23 was really good. Great weather, small crowd, and relatively fast snow although keep in mind that I properly prepped my board with the appropriate temperature wax. Positive: parking right at the Overlook Lodge $25 lift ticket for showing my Windham pass...

Headed to Belleayre tomorrow morning. To answer my own question: "We will be sliding down 35 trails across 107 acres with the best spring snow conditions under our feet. We will be making laps on the Catskill Thunder Gondola, Belleayre Express, and Lift #8 for us to explore the 12 miles of...

Just back from from out of town and trying to decide on Belleayre or Mount Snow, either tomorrow Thursday or this weekend when it's supposed to be a bit colder. Mount Snow looks colder overall and the coverage was great there last time I went 3/28. Belleayre has $25 / $45 tickets if you show a...

This was in the Daily Snow update, but yes I agree.
