Hey Two Plankers!

Its fall again finally, and it's time to drop some BIG news. We here at Windham Parks (Catskills of NY) are excited to share that we are sinking in over $25,000 into new Jibs this fall and blowing up our inventory from about 16 to over 60! We plan on offering over 80+ features this winter and turning the Catskills into the premiere terrain park destination!

In addition to new jibs, we have enhanced our grooming fleet with a new Pisten Bully 400 Park Pro. That brings our total to 2 PB 400 Pro's to maintain our 6 Parks.

Here are a few photos of the work that is well underway and we will be back here to keep you updated!

You can always find us on Instagram @WindhamParks for nearly daily updates.

Special Delivery!

I imagine it might take a season or two for the word to get around and people to buy passes for the park's reputation, but the work looks sick!
 
Damn thats sick, I wish my mountain actually got new features, been hitting the same rails for the past 6 years...
 
I heard that the dude who build rails at sugarbush is working down at windham now. Those rails were always to best so I'm stoked to give Windham a shot and ride some new shit.
 
I worked for Keith (the park manager at Windham) back in my nashoba park crew days. He single handedly put nash on the map for parks at small resorts in Mass, and im positive with the size of his operation out in NY this place will be insane. shouts out to the Kreischer for holding it down once again and producing some insane shit once again.
 
I learned to ski at Windham but I could hardly walk let alone remember it. I gotta go back to shred these dank rails and pay homage!
 
Just finished up 2 stock 24' down bars and 1 - 16' down bar. Both are 6" wide. PLenty more photos heading your way over the coming weeks!

Hell yeah man! Always hoped Windham would invest in the parks. They always seemed like a mountain that could have a great park program but never really did much.

Was stoked to see what you would do with the place when you mentioned taking the job earlier this summer.

Keep em coming. Interested to see what you do with the place. Maybe I'll swing down and spin some laps at some point.
 
Money bagssss. Next step make sure the stuff is set up prim and proper on nice little tables. Nothing worse than a rail just dug into the trail with a random jenky booter leading up to it.

I never made it to nashoba(hopefully this season since friends are working the park there now) but it seems like things were pretty solid there constantly. Saw a lot of pictures and edits of the parks and events there and it was on point. Now he's got a bunch more space to work with. it should be legit.

Always proper. There is no other way. Especially that word jenky, just sounds gross.

Hey KingTaco here are a few pics from some setups last year when we only had 16 jibs to work with... now we will have 60+!

Right before the jump line in Warm Up Park:

That stuff looks great man. Good to see another east coast place taking their park program seriously.
 
That volcano feature looks sick!

Hyped to see how this goes down. Might drive up there for a week this year to check it out.
 
Dope! Wish my local hill would start to take their parks this seriously. Might have to make a trip out this winter to check it out!
 
Windham's park is gonna be legit this year I'll be there at least a couple times this winter can't wait to see how it turns out
 
I went to Windham like 7 years ago, and I remember the park being pretty sucky. It's so awesome to see this improvement and this happening,

That jump is mouthwatering. I'll have to find a way to get up there sometime in a couple of years
 
Just finished up the brand spanky new 42' down rail. This hunk of steel is mad heavy coming in at 6" wide and 2 1/2' tall. Pretty sure there is 100's of switch-up variations that's going to be slammed down on this grind pole!

Richie, Keith, and Robbie tried their hardest to show the length of this thing. The photo does no justice.

Don't worry... boxes start next week.
 
I need to take revenge on Windham.

Years ago... maybe circa 2001 or so... I went to a summer quarterpipe competition there.

It was literally the day I got my first sponsor. I picked up the skis on the way driving there from the Head rep.

Long story short, I was cocky AF, and started trying flairs. Me and Grunow were the two going for inverts... and the quarter was undervert. I wanted to show his ass who was baws, so I asked my buddies to give me a pole slingshot in. Managed to air out of the quarter, over the top, fly down to the back and promptly eat shit. Folded in half with my left boot touching my forehead.

Back has never been the same.

Need to come back and shred that place to re-conquer the place that destroyed me. :)

The good old days when your literally never knew what you were getting when you went to a comp or just into a park in general.

Thank god for all the improvements these days.

I would like to formally invite you to come back and see how many improvements we have made. My crew and I are super stoked and very proud of what is happening. There is a lot of people who have been waiting a long time for our parks to be at the forefront.

The mountains here are fun as hell and we can't wait to tie it all together. Can't wait to see you shred!

Hold off on being too excited about the current shred abilities of this guy. :)

However - that sounds like a date. Lets do it!

Oooooh those cuts look fresh as fuck! You can have all the features you want but they're not shit if not maintained well..... Killer job!

I'm sold. In NY now so I'll definitely be visiting.
 
Having grown up skiing at Windham and seeing the changes over the past 10 years has been incredible. The new owners are doing a GREAT job with all the improvements including improving the race program ( so much $$$) and now stepping up and improving the terrain park and I imagine the freestyle program along with it.
 
The new "Jib Factory" is now under constriction. Can't wait to crank out some more craziness out of our new home!

Also built some small protable close out/ close ins for use all around the parks. More on the way!

New update everyone. Just finished this new rail, and the construction of the new "Jib Factory" is now underway. This 52' x 32' x 16' tall building will be our new home here at Windham. We will be running all of our park operations out of this new location! We couldn't be more excited!

The new 16' Up to 16' Down A-Frame Rail

those rails look so gnarly, really hope Windham gets the skiers and recognition they deserve for this amount of work. good stuff boys keep it up!
 
Not even heavy rain keeps us from pressing on... no pun intended. Today we completed a brand new 8' Flat 16' Down 4' Flat Rail in the horrendous weather. We only have about 1-2 6" wide rails left on the fabrication line. Then it is on to boxes, handrails, oddities, and wall-rides.

wow this is looking like it could be the PC of the east coast. My home hill doesn't even build new features, only buys old ones like every 5 years
