Best in the East 12/30/2014 by: Anonymous This mountain has a unique layout. There are trails for every level and all are easy to get to. When we go with our kids they can go off on more difficult trails and because all the trails meet up at the bottom it is easy to find. My boys say the glades are the best in the East.

LOCK up your items or JUST SKIP IT02/27/2014 by: Shannon Lavelle Sons brand new board was stolen while we were enjoying the entertainment in Okemo's Sitting Bull pub. Owned his brand new GNU board with burton bindings for less than two months. We were told the mountain has no responsibility for this and the night security couldn't even find the form to fill out. Traveled back this morning to "fill out a form" and again were told they have no responsibility AND we weren't the only ones.....there was another individual that was stunned to come out of the lodge and to have her items missing. LOCK your items folks....better yet, skip this mediocre place all together, Never ending lines, lifts CONSTANTLY stopping, and the unfriendliest staff ever to encounter. Little bit of sympathy goes a long way Okemo.

Great Terrain and Snow 02/03/2014 by: John Grabowski Made it up to Okemo on Saturday 2/1/14 for a "guys trip" with my seven year old son and another father/son duo. The snow at Okemo was great, The Jackson Gore and Solitude areas were very nice with less crowds and powder on the edges. Vertigo and Tuckered Out were in great shape and the most memorable runs. We put the young guys in the explorer programs for a few hours and they loved it. The ski instructor had them turning so well that we able to bring them to the top of the mountain after they were done. A great day for father and son at Okemo

So much fun!! 03/02/2011 by: Anonymous Another fantastic experience! $39 lady day Tuesday - no lift lines, pleasant staff and lifties, very well maintained trails and everything was so well marked! Not all of the lifts were running, but we easily navigated our way around without a map in hand. Beautiful views and I would highly recommend this to skiers of all ability levels!

Feels like home 01/14/2011 by: Chris This was my first NE ski resort and I love going back each time I head north. It has trails for beginners to experts and even though Im hours away, I still feel like Im home when I go there. Great staff and skiers. Never had a long wait for lift lines.

Another great new years! 01/07/2011 by: Anonymous The family had a great time skiing New years weekend! Although the weather was one of those crazy new england 45 degee day on Sat. in January we enjoyed skiing Jackson Gore then over to Solitude. We even rode the new timber ripper roller coaster, being able to control your speed on the ride was very cool..A harpoon UFO after a day of skiing in the lodge and tehn going out to the fire pit was a perfect way to end the day.

Awesome Day! 12/21/2009 by: Audri Cid Skiied with the CT ski council today. The weather was beautiful and the trails were in good shape. The base lodge has a new conveyor belt system to load you onto and off of the lift, (think aiport-you stand still, the conveyor propels you forward). Heard mixed reviews about this from skiiers and snowboarders alike. Some feel it's too automated, and will make it harder for beginners to master the other chairlifts that don't have this feature. Others, myself included, feel that it is good for beginners. This is because the conveyor belt drops you off farther from the chairlift so if/when you do fall you aren't hit in the head as the chair swings around. This allows skiiers and snowboarders to focus on their technique, and not stress getting off the lift. Overall an AWESOME first day out!

Loved it, Great Place to go!! 03/04/2009 by: Anonymous We hit Okemo on March 1. In a few places the snow was a little icy, but everything else was fantastic. The trails were great, and in good condition considering it had rained two days before. There were no crowds, and we never had to wait to get on a lift. Overall a wonderful experience.

Okemo Powder Sunday 2/22/09 02/23/2009 by: John Grabowski Okemo Mountain resort was a skier and boarder pardise on Sunday. While approacing the resort on the access road the snow was already coming down. The snow came down harder as the day went on and the result was powder, powder and more powder. Rimrock, Off The Rim and even Dreamweaver were buried deep in powder. Every run on the mountain was a new experience as 8 inches of snow came down. No lines at all, get out to Okemo this week if you can.

Great place for beginning snowboarders 12/15/2008 by: Anonymous This is a great place to learn to snowboard.(i've had lessons elsewhere that were no where near the quality of Okemo's ski and ride school.) The beginner's hill is nice and wide making it easy to avoid collisions. Also there is a chair lift nearby for those who are ready to go to the next level. I also liked the number of lockers and cubbies in the lodge for storing personal items. The food is way overpriced

Okemo is the Best 10/22/2008 by: Anonymous Okemo is like s second home to anyone skiing there annually. We go every year, and i know my way around the mountain. It is an easy place to navigate, but has, what I consider, the best skiing in all of Vermont. We rent a ski on/ski off house on Sachem, a fantastic beginners trail. Other great trails are Chief, Nor' Easter, Scremin' Demon, Tuckered Out, and Quantum Leap. If you are planning a Vermont ski trip, go for Okemo.

Overrated but OK02/13/2008 by: Anonymous Snow OK, some spots skied off; no crowds; there are more challenging & diverse places to ski for the money.
