……”holy shit” half hour late and I’m only twenty cars into lot A
……”holy shit” no line at the ticket window
……”holy shit” table for eight to spread my gear out and get ready
……”holy shit” no lift lines all day
……”holy shit” great groomers all day
……”holy shit” nice bumps
……”holy shit” nice woods
……”holy shit” no one’s on these trails

What a “Holy Shit Show” at Okemo today!
Bluebird and 100% open!
Story of the day – hops on the lift with a 77 year old NY city transplant (since he was 55). Told me he was on his 73rd day this year and that he was trying to ski his age again – and with that wry smile said “keeps gettin’ tougher every year………………………..”
Asked if he skied every day and he replied only the quality ones, AND NEVER ON A SATURDAY!!!!!!!!

It's April. Little Johnny has baseball practice. Okemo's clientele is done for the season.

Okemo has been EMPTY lately, especially during the week. It's absolutely spooky. Skied this morning before the snow changed to rain, and I think there were about ten people on the whole mountain.

If that forecast holds up I may be joining you. Really had a good time there Sunday. Got a passport to burn. Isn't the most extreme stuff obviously, but a good time. Those high speed lifts get you around in a hurry............................and it's a pretty easy drive up.

Can't make it Fiday. Save some for me. Likely head over there Saturday or Sunday. Jackson Gore should be payed some attention.............. The two woods over there had plenty of snow and they were letting a few trails get bumped up.
