Wondering if anyone else has had this issue at Okemo- Season's pass holder using the VT 5th grade passbook vouchers. Okemos policy is you have to purchase a full day ticket to use the vouchers (even if you are a passholder). I took my two sons and a friend (two of which have the VT passbook- the other child is 6) there yesterday (Sunday) afternoon arriving around noon. The 5th grade tickets say "complimentary with a paying adult". The lady slid the vouchers back across the table like we couldn't afford a bus ticket and coarsly explained their policy- she also produced a memo outlining the policy when I furthered inquired about the 'rules and regulations' she was referencing. This led me to believe this wasn't the first time this confusion had occured (I've used them at Stratton & the NH ones at Sunapee- usaully taking my son and his friends). I told them the voucher should explicitly state its a buy one adult get one 5th grade (as some of them do) to avoid this confusion. Learned the hard way different mtns have different policies regarding the interpretion of usage on the 5th grade passbook. Alternatively she offered me $24 afternoon tickets for the kids and I purchased.. then she said she had made a mistake and needed an additional 10 for afternoon tickets. Feeling like a number & P'O'd beyond belief at that point I decided I did not want to give Okemo any $$ and left, even the kids wanted out of there.
Driving home I arrived in Chester then remembered.. Magic. We went up there, had a great couple of hours. Paid $25 for a 1/2 day ticket and they accepted the vouchers no problem. Conditions were hard and fast, Talisman was great, kids were all smiles- none had ever been there. I was reminded again of how much Magic rocks. Yeah Magic, boo Okemo.
