Jessica Winstanley Talks Skiing and Squash with the Ski Moms
Become a Premium Subscriber and Support the Ski Moms for $3/month
In this episode we meet with Jessica Winstanley a ski and squash mom, who carves out time from her busy life in NYC to ski Plattekill Mountain. Plattekill has everything Jess and her family are looking for in a local ski resort, located in Roxbury, New York, a 3 hour drive from New York City.
Jessica tells us more about the sport of squash. We learn about what we would expect to see at a squash match and some of the basis rules. Squash is a physically demanding sport that requires some serious strategy. It’s fast paced and a great workout.
But to bring it back to skiing, Jessica knew early on that skiing was going to be part of their family life. The family started at Mohawk Mountain (Cornwall, CT) and went on to other areas within driving distance of NYC. Eventually Jess found her happy place, Plattekill Mountain (Roxbury, NY) first taking day trips and then renting a seasonal ski house. Jessica had great things to say about the mountain’s race and learn to ski programs.
