Pre-arrival:
Please plan ahead for your visit to Windham Mountain by understanding that capacity restrictions will be in place and on-site ticket purchase will not be available on capacity-restricted days. Please see our “red day” and “green day” capacity restriction calendar before you visit and plan accordingly. Please plan to purchase your lift tickets in advance via windhammountain.com. Tickets may also be obtained through the purchase of “ski and stay” packages or lodging reservations via windhammountain.com or Windham central reservations at: 518-734-3000. [red and green day capacity calendar]
Tickets will be available in fall 2021
Lodging and ticket availability:
If you are planning to stay overnight in the area, we recommend booking your lodging through windhammountain.com or by calling 518-734-3000. Preferred ticketing rates apply to those who book through us and stay with us for short-term vacations. When making vacation reservations, please plan ahead by including lift tickets in your purchase – advanced purchase of lift tickets is required for “red days” with capacity restrictions. Many third-party lodging properties, long term rentals and Airbnb units in the area will not have lift ticket availability and on-site lift tickets will not be sold at the mountain during red days. It is imperative that guests plan ahead by purchasing necessary tickets through windhammountain.com. We expect that many days will sell out, at which point no additional tickets will be offered. Avoid disappointment by planning ahead! [book lodging]
Tickets available in fall 2021
The arrival experience:
Valet parking will be available on peak days. Ticket kiosks will be available for the redemption of first-time lift ticket purchases through windhammountain.com. Please have your email confirmation available, either printed or on a phone. QR codes on the confirmation emails may be scanned at self-service ticket kiosks. Guests having re-loaded tickets onto RFID cards via windhammountain.com may proceed directly to the lift.
“Cashless” Transactions:
In the interest of Guest and Employee Safety, Windham Mountain is continuing “cashless” transactions this winter. Credit/debit cards, Windham Gift Cards, along with options to set up “resort charge” on season passes and RFID cards, or load money onto these products are all options for payment. If a guest only has cash available, currency may be placed onto a gift card at “Tickets and Passes” located in the lower level of the base lodge.
Windham Season Passes:
Capacity restrictions for Windham Mountain season passholders are not anticipated at this time. Windham Mountain passes are subject to standard restrictions and exclusions, such as black out dates for Sunday through Friday passes such as all Saturdays, December 26-31, 2021; Sunday, January 16, 2022; Sunday, February 20, 2022. All Windham Mountain season passes are “direct to lift” after initial purchase/pickup or reload of a previous season pass.
If you have any questions or need assistance with issues regarding tickets, please visit one of the ticketing windows outside.
Ikon Passes:
Advanced Ikon Pass reservations are not anticipated for winter 2021/22 at this time.

We highly recommend booking our Beginner Package (lift, lesson and rental for ages 10 and up) as it offers the best rates for those looking to get into skiing/riding.
If you are just purchasing rentals (no package), be sure to purchase a ticket as well.

Advance reservations are required for all lessons and can be made online beginning in early November. Group lessons are available for ages 7 and up, and Private lessons are available for all ages.

The Children’s Learning Center facility is being redeveloped for winter 2021/22. Additional information will be forthcoming.
