NYC-Windham Blades trip Wednesday - Snowboarding Forum

NYCboarder12 · 12-27-2010, 06:26 PM

Anyone heading up to Windham from NYC with BladesNYC on Wednesday? 18" of fresh powder - it should be sweet!

I just discovered blades trips. I was wondering if others have used their services and whether you might provide a little feedback on their trips.

Thanks.

Ive used emilios ski shop bus trips out in Queens (off qns blvd). Trip was decent, they charge $75 for transport and lift ticket. Im currently thinking about going to Hunter with them on thursday. Suin told me to leave for NY yesterday...smh...

lol. Yeah, the roads are trashed. I saw a couple of abandoned cabs on Park Ave in midtown this afternoon! If Manhattan hasn't caught up yet then I can only imagine how bad the tri-state area is...

hows Windham vs Hunter?

Mr. Polonia · 12-28-2010, 04:32 PM

hunter is def steeper and more challenging. their runs are fast and a lot of fun, and the main lift is pretty quick

windham is not bad except for all their lifts...slow as mollases. but they do have a lot of fun terrain where u can pretty much find a lot of natural features to jump off of. Windham also has better tree runs.

windham has high speed lifts

nodaysoff · 12-28-2010, 06:43 PM

tru. yeah i been to hunter once, the BeltParkway run is a pretty dope run(that one that always come to mind). just thought maybe i'd switch it up this time around and hit up windham

Mr. Polonia · 12-28-2010, 10:47 PM

windham is def bigger...but their snowmaking sux compared to hunter. but now after that storm, both hills should be pretty close if not already, at 100%
