Windham is a charming town in the northern Catskill Mountains, just an hour south of Albany, 2.5 hours north of New York City and 3 hours west of Boston. In the winter months, Windham is the home of Windham Mountain Resort, a premier destination for skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating and other outdoor recreation. Windham is known for being a family-friendly resort with high attention paid to service and amenities that make for a comfortable experience. Summer attractions at the resort include paintball, a skateboard park, a bungee trampoline and a rock climbing wall.

A variety of other attractions in the area includes the Zoom Flume Water Park, Howe Caverns, the Baseball Hall of Fame, many beautiful golf courses and several art galleries.

Attention all Competitors, Team Managers, Tech Teams and Officials:

Upon further examination of the existing schedule and consideration for all athletes and teams we have adjusted the schedule slightly to best accommodate as many competitors as possible. With 5 events in 2 days this is no easy task, and we hope that the revised practice times and race times will help all with their existing work schedules and travel times. Please go to www.windhammountainbike.com for the update and lodging information.
