Area Profile

Okemo has become one of the best run and most popular resorts in New England. Independently owned and smoothly run by Diane and Tim Mueller, skiers and riders will find a big mountain hanging over Ludlow, but with superb snow, grooming and challenge as you want it.

A Super Pipe awaits snowboarders in an enormous framework. A shuttle service provides pick up and drop off from the various condo centers, including evening hours. There's no longer a need to turn the car on once you arrive. A $55 million base area infrastructure and trail network made its debut a few seasons ago in the Jackson Gore area.

Recent improvements are two new double black diamond trails, a new beginner-friendly conveyor lift to replace the Poma lift at the resort's base, the new wine room at the Coleman Brook Tavern, two new park cats and two new groomers, and an upgrade to the resort's massive snowmaking pond that will increase capacity from 70 million to 153 million gallons.
