Okemo?

Going to Okemo for the first time in March. Comments on the hill, accomodations, dining in the area? Hmm, personally I hate Okemo so I might not be the best person to ask, but I have probably skiied there about 20 days in my life. The place is really crowded (March might not be a problem though), it is especially bad in the morning because you must wait on line for one of two quads that takes you no where. Generally, the mountain has good snow making and a fast lifts, but it also has no difficulty and lift lines. I will admit, however, that if the mountain is not crowded then there are a lot of good blue cruising runs. I have no skiied this new Jackson Gore area so I can't comment on that for you. If it is crowded eat and ski at the solitude area. It is less crowded. In terms of accomadations, I can't think of anything so spectacular. It all seemed pretty standard to me. Ok hotel or Condo. You can pay for ski on ski off if you like. In terms of dining, I think that Nicky's is fairly good. It is on the main strip in Ludlow. If you want to drive then go 40 minutes up the road to killington and go to the wobbly barn. They have really good steaks, and if you aren;t with the family then go to the nightclub afterwards. The lines at the restaurant would only be as long as they are if it was as good as it is. If you really feel like spending money then you could go to Hemingways, which is about half way between Killington and Okemo. Hemingways is often considered one of the best restaurants in America so you would need reservations. |
