Hi all,


* *I'm planning a trip for my group are our choices have come down to
Okemo or Loon. *I've heard both good and bad things about each area
but the biggest concern is crowds on the slopes. *We will be there for
Presidents weekend but will be skiing on fri/sat. *I'm sure the
biggest crowds will be on sat/sun. Has anyone been to these places on
prior Presidents weekends. If so, how are the crowds. *I've skied
places where you wait for 1/2 hour on the lift line, which is
unacceptable, but if the wait is only 10 minutes that is tolerable.


* Also has anyone stayed at the Pointe Hotel in Okema or the River
Green Resort in Loon.


Any comments about these ski areas or hotels is greatly appreciated.


Thank You
Joe V


How did you come down to choosing those two places out of all the
choices within driving distance of both?

PS: *ignore the man behind the curtain.


We always try to find a different place to ski each year. Stowe was
our 1st choice but too expensive. One person recommended Okemo and we
found a place to stay when someone read reviews about long lift lines
and panic set in. So I recommended Loon where I skied years ago and
enjoyed it.

I know there are other places to go but I'm not running the show,
just trying to help a panicking sister-in-law .
We finally are back to Okemo as our ski destination for this year.
