Kick-Ass is for advanced women skiers who are not frightened, but want a fun and supportive environment to develop the skills and tactics necessary to ski well on difficult terrain. It is a sweaty intensive focused on working the skis and handling terrain. We will explore the essential drills over and over until some mastery is achieved, and then we’ll integrate those new skills into your skiing repertoire. We will not delve into the psychology of skiing (or skiing as a metaphor) with the depth we do in the Fear Workshop. Students should be able to ski eastern black diamond terrain
This has been one of the coldest January’s we’ve had in Windham, NY in years. Several nights below zero degrees Fahrenheit, which is great for our ice skating rink and snow making. Both Windham and Hunter Mountain have been making snow non-stop for almost the entire month. There are so many trails open at both mountains, you’ll need more than a weekend to ski it all.
Great conditions, make a great time to learn how to ski. You are never too old or too young to learn how to ski. Opening the winter of 2013/14 Windham Mountain expanded their beginner’s area and added two new carpet lifts. For this winter (2014/15) Hunter Mountain expanded their children’s area. Now both Windham and Hunter Mountains offer a great place to learn how to ski and great instructors to help you learn. The new carpet lifts and expanded area make it easier and safer for everyone.
Maddox is learning how to ski and he is only 2. What’s your excuse?

The first real snow fall of the year is here! There is so much snow falling right now that you can’t see Windham Mountain. The snow plows are making sure that the road are clear for safe passage. If you are already in Windham and don’t feel like venturing out onto the roads, we do have a couple of rooms open tonight. Drive safe!
