“We can use it all year for special events and weddings,”
said Seamans. “In the winter it will be available as an extra
location that can be heated; it will be a lot of fun.”
Future plans
Overall, “the investments we’ve made over the last few years
have made a significant difference in the experience here,”
Seamans said. “I think, going forward, we’ve invested in that
infrastructure and now we’re looking at what’s next, how
much can we grow? We’re looking at becoming more of a
four-season destination; we have a lot of choices for the direction
we want to go and we want to do that right.”
Of all the potential challenges, “the weather is our biggest
challenge which is why we’ve invested so heavily in snowmaking
and why we’re investing in becoming more of yearround
resort. We have an underutilized asset with the lifts
and the mountain and the beautiful views, and we’re trying
to take advantage of that,” Seamans said.
“The other challenge,” he said, “is hiring so many people as
seasonal employees. We try to make it a fun place to work
and we’re on a pretty exciting growth path that I think is fun
to be a part of.”
“It’s all positive,” said Davis. “The new owners are very excited
about growing the area and interacting with the community.
They’re very in-tune with the business side of it, and
I am really looking forward to working with them over the
coming years and seeing the increasing energy.”

ASF recently received the donation of a ski simulator, Windham
stepped up to build a new building to house it.
Guests will be able to practice their skills on sliding rails
that simulate the movement of a real hill in front of three
large TV screens that project a choice of racecourse scenarios
in preparation for facing the slopes.
“It’s very exciting,” said Seamans. “This is a training mechanism
for everybody: people with full capability and people
with disabilities.” The ski simulator is expected to be ready for
the Columbus Day weekend, at the latest.
Windham is also hopping onto an emerging trend with the
addition of an umbrella bar to the patio area on the slope side
of the base lodge. “They’re very popular in Austria and they’re
starting to become more popular in the Unites States,” Seamans
said.
These round pavilions have a festive, carousel-like appearance
and give guests a feeling of being comfortable yet immersed
in the landscape. Windham’s, which will have a 33-
foot diameter, can be completely enclosed or open on all sides.
It will house a central bar surrounded by stools and tables.
