May be calling Okemo my home mountain this winter, due to factors beyond my control.

Read plenty on here about the park, but am more curious about the mountain as a whole. My park days are numbered due to shoulder injuries so all-mountain shit is my gig these days.

I've called Killington and Pico my home mountains the past 2 seasons and was kept entertained there. My concerns with calling Okemo my home mountain is that I will get tremendously bored skiing there. I've never skied there but it looks flat as shit and all the trails seem to be intermediate, wide boulevards that are groomed edge to edge.

Give me the straight up. Are there good trees and glades? Areas with pitch and interesting terrain features? Good areas for storm days?

Thanks for your candor guys!
 
It's not fantastic as far as all mountain goes. It does tend to get steep towards the summit, but I wouldn't go there if I didn't ski park. Trails are generally intermediate and there are a shit ton of gapers there.
 
Pretty much this.

Besides the park, it is pretty flat. If you skied Killy it will seem really different. To compare it is like Mt. Snow minus most of the hoodrats and half the park features.
 
its sick on weekdays and shitty weather days. but other than that have fun. New yorkers show up in shiploads and try and run the place.
 
DUDE! okemo is my home mountain. deffinitly down to meet up with you and get a crew goin up there. i know a bunch of kids that throw down pretty hard.

shoot me a pm and ill give you the low down

 
Well, that's pretty much anywhere in Southern Vermont with the exception of Magic.

Turns out I will be sticking around at Killington afterall for the winter.

Thanks for the info anyways guys!
