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!!!! |

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. I would bet that VT Skier knows the area best, followed by Richard or Walt (cant remember one of you grew up in VT?). Okemo is ok, nothing spectacular by any means. It comes by the name of Slowkemo very honestly. Trails are ok, there are a few DD's that are fun. Skiing Jackson felt like purgatory to me- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I grew up in Vt/NH in the 60's, and never got south of Sugarbush and Waterville Valley. |
