Vermont - Okemo - Ski Experience
The Okemo Mountain Resort is one of the best ski resorts in all of Vermont – just going on the basis of the stats, there are several ways in which the Okemo Mountain Resort is more advanced than any other in the state, for example: the Okemo Mountain Resort has the greatest vertical drop of any ski resort in Vermont, at a distance of twenty two hundred feet. The Okemo Mountain Resort also has the highest efficiency for snowmaking in the entire state, with ninety seven percent of all of its terrain covered by snowmakers so that you can be certain of having fresh snow on the slopes when you go out.
Okemo is also a very large ski park with one hundred and seventeen trails, slopes and glades in all. The nineteen ski lifts which service these trails include nine quad chair ski lifts, three triple chair ski lifts and seven surface lifts. Even when the ski resort is filled with people there is hardly any waiting to get to the top of your favorite trail with all of these ski lifts available to accommodate you.
The Okemo Mountain Resort also has great terrain parks – The Zone is a terrain park which includes a twenty foot jump, a hitching post, down rail, tire table, wall ride, multiple smaller jumps (two – ten foot jumps), flat rails, a mini c-box, an up rail, two starter boxes and more. The Nor’easter terrain park contains larger jumps – a forty five foot jump, a frame rail, a dog house box, a tree jib, a corrugated pipe and lots of other structures to choose from to come up with great new moves to add to your skiing or snowboarding repertoire.
Another great reason to choose the Okemo Mountain Resort for your next ski experience this winter is its location – nearby airports include ones in Albany New York, Boston Massachusetts, Burlington Vermont, Hartford Connecticut, Lebanon New Hampshire, Manchester New Hampshire and Rutland Vermont. It is easy to find an airport near the ski resort from which you can easily drive the rest of the way.
In addition, when you visit the Okemo Mountain Resort you can choose from lots of great dining experiences, with several great lodges on the mountain, each one offering a different ambiance and different styles of cuisine. The Okemo Base Lodge, the Jackson Gore Base Lodge, Solitude Village, the Sugar House Lodge, the Summit Lodge and Willie Dunn’s Grille at Okemo Valley Nordic Center all give you different eating options.
Nightlife on the mountain has you spending time with your fellow skiers and snowboarders; you can even go down into the Okemo Valley to find even more options for fine dining and après ski activities.
