First Time Skiing Okemo In Vermont

I had never been to Okemo in Vermont. Some friends and I rented a slope side condo and we were ready for a couple of days of skiing.

We arrived late Sunday morning and the whole town seemed to be packing up and leaving. The mountain was busy, so we decided to get lunch first. That lead to a couple of drinks. Then we ended up having a few more drinks at another restaurant and then a few more at yet another restaurant. It was a full day of après ski for day one.

The condo was nice. I wish we were staying another night so we could really enjoy the ski on and ski off. That evening we got a couple of inches of fresh snow.

We got a little bit of a late start. We were on the slop around 10am. We hit a few blue trails over in the bubbles section of the mountain. After a few runs we met up with another friend we skied with the rest of the day.

When we were at the summit of Okemo, I noticed a fire tower up there. It looked a little run down and I’m not sure if it is still in use but it was cool to see.

The trails at Okemo were mostly wide and well groomed. I really enjoyed skiing here. It was not very crowded and there was plenty of room for wide turns. The only trail I did not care for was the double diamond.  It was narrow, full of moguls, rocks and roots. Lesson learned (again).

I need to visit Okemo again. This mountain was a lot of fun and there was still a lot more to explore.
