New York Ski Slope Changes it’s Name, Sort Of

A popular ski destination for skiers all across New York has announced they have changed their name.

One of New York's biggest names in skiing has officially announced that they have made an adjustment to their name for the upcoming ski season. Windham Mountain located in the Catskill Mountains has changed its name for the fourth time since it opened back in 1960, from Windham Mountain to the Windham Mountain Club.

Windham Mountain Club

The small change in name at the popular ski resort is all part of the mountain's new plans for the upcoming 2023/2024 ski season and beyond according to the website Porcupine Soup. Back in July Windham Mountain Club announced that they would be investing more than $70 million dollars in the mountain as they prepare for several enhancements and upgrades over the next few years.

Windham Mountain Club Upgrades

The public ski slope plans to upgrade its ski lifts and snowmaking capabilities over the next few years including a full mechanical upgrade to its East Side Express ski lift (G) and adding more automated snowmaking that will provide more snow coverage in less time. The mountain also plans to introduce a new "culinary program", that will include a new food court and a Mediterranean kitchen concept in the base lodge. They are also planning to add an Italian Alps-style restaurant on the mountain soon.

The newly named Windham Mountain Club has undergone many changes over the years since opening to skiers back in 1960 under the name Cave Mountain Ski Area. It remained Cave Mountain until the early 80s when it was changed to Ski Windham, where it remained for 20+ years. In 2001 it was changed to Windham Mountain and is now called Windham Mountain Club. Whatever name you call it, it is one of the best ski slopes in New York offering skiers and snowboarders 54 trails and 11 ski lifts to choose from for a great day on the mountain.
