We finally decided that Okemo is were we are going this year. There
were concerns about crowds and the hotel we are staying at, but when
dealing with a group of 10 families you can't please everyone.


Thanks to all for the advice and recommendations given.


10 families? You are one brave (or maybe foolish) skier to volunteer to
organize a trip for that many.


Hope everyone has a fun holiday.


Actually I think you made a pretty good choice. Loon can be a
little hard core. At least that was my impression when I went
way back when.

At Okemo, everyone will be just a little disappointed except
those who like blue groomers. Okemo will make all of you look
like heroes. Every one will have really good time. I'd be
surprised if anyone gets hurt. Okemo is just best at
slope maintenance.

Now, Killington isn't far away, in fact, you can get to Skye
Ship Base on Route 4 in well under a half hour from Ludlow/
Okemo. So, if Okemo bores some of you too much, take a day
trip to Killington. It's big and it's not boring. If you are
having trouble finding the good stuff, look for someone in
a red parka which has a white patch on the back with an
"i" character (for information). Or just take our tour.
10 AM from Snowshed at the sign between the buildings.


Hey, with any luck, you can meet someone who will threaten your life
and promise to shoot you and your family, and Richard Walsh will give
the killer directions to your accomodations.
After all, when a sick freak threatened to kill me, this disgusting
coward printed my home address to help him out.
I hope your family thinks being threatened by a killer who has his own
local guide to be lots of good fun! Dickless Walsh sure had fun when
he did it to me!!!!
