Jason's a Windham fanboy, he's just trying to throw you off the scent.

Windham is Home. Hunter is ...not sure.

but PLATTEKILL has the best family skiing is the Catskills! Definitive proof.

Full Disclosure, I wrote that homepage title tag, with Danielle's help.

Windham has a great adaptive ski school and the best uphill policy in the area- if that’s worth anything

It has been years other than for a tubing run that was also years ago, but . . . . I remember Windham not having much in the way of steeps (yes I know the Belle steeps are like 100 ft long).

 

[Brownski]

They have a few but they’re just like at Belle- steep at top and then a longer intermediate runout. If anything I’d say they have a little less sameness to their few steeps than Belle.

IMO the best big mountain experience in the Cats is Hunter (Weekdays Only) when the Slutzky's owned it , there was a cool vibe, I used to ski there almost every Sat. Same families in the lodge every weekend. Now the weekends are def no go..
Best ski experience in the Cats is Platt, no mater what day..
Followed by Bell
Windham just......

I love Belle but every steep is the same except for Utysana_____ and Cathedral Brook. Dreamcatcher glade is also really cool.

Belle would really benefit from removing the giant parking lot that separates the upper mountain from the lower.

Surely.

Belle would really benefit from annexing Highmount.

Belle would really benefit from annexing Highmount.

I probably should post this somewhere else, but what is the status of all that? Last I saw there was a vote supportive of it, but I don't know all the bureaucratic steps. I've heard that would give close to 2k of vertical off the branch near Deer Run.
