Depends.
Pump track/flow trail with small hills? You'll be fine.
Chairlift park on a big mountain? Not such a great idea. You'll probably be fine but it won't be much fun and you might boil your brakes.
I don't know anything about Windham. Do they have beginner-appropriate singletrack?
If you're talking about a local dirt jump park you'll be fine. I've gone dirt jumping on pic related so that bike will be good

Nothing that a hardtail can't handle, but I strongly suggest renting a park bike for the day.
If you take your hardtail, one of two things is likely to happen: you'll fuck up a launch/landing and go OTB, or you'll boil your brakes. Not necessarily the end of the world, but a PITA.
This is not what your bike is designed for.

You and your bike will be fine, that's quite a tame trail. Don't feel that you have to go super hard at the jumps and get massive air, there's no gap so you can go slow and roll over them if you want.

You're a dumbass. That trail could be done on a fully rigid bike no problem. As for boiling brakes, there's no long and hard braking sections on that trail.

The limitation isn't going to be your bike.
As anon notes, there's no gaps or big drops. Everything's rollable. Good visibility on what you need to do next. Video related.

This video is also a reminder that as a rule, you should be walking trails you aren't familiar with.
Since your bike is new, you should obviously take it easy, and be prepared to make adjustments, like to the fork settings. If somethings not tightened quite right, you want to catch that early on.

It's possible to ride that on a cyclocross bike senpai.
They're going less than half the speed they should be on those bikes, and that guy should really look where he's going instead of towards the ground mid air (1 foor off the ground)

>Just pay attention.
You either go really slow, or you can't "pay attention", blind obstacles need reaction BEFORE you see them.
