The Snowmaking Capital of the World

Hunter Mountain

Nestled amid the mountain towns of Hunter and Lexington and just over a half-hour drive south of Albany, Hunter Mountain is the highest mountain peak in the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County, attracting skiers and riders from across the Northeast.

Known as the "Snowmaking Capital of the World," Hunter uses half-a-billion gallons of water each season to create consistent snow conditions across 100% of its skiable terrain, all winter long. Ski or snowboard the day away and stay within a few short steps from Hunter Mountain's base lodge at the Kaaterskill Mountain Club, a luxury resort property boasting suites and condo units for families and groups. Additional amenities include a full-service spa, restaurant and access to the region's incredible array of adventure activities.

Family-Friendly and Award-Winning

Windham Mountain Club

Windham Mountain Club is one of New York's most easily accessible ski resorts, offering skiers and snowboard riders the "Northeast's Premier Alpine Lifestyle Since 1960," just south of Albany.

With 1,600 vertical feet of skiing, 97% snowmaking coverage and 12 ski lifts, including two high-speed detachable quads, Windham Mountain's reputation as a family-friendly destination is unsurpassed in the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County. The resort's award-winning ski school offers on-the-snow instruction for beginners of all ages at affordable prices throughout the season.
