    Wow. Not my idea of fun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Additionally, and not that I'm too familiar with Vail, but there are 3-4 other great resorts within 40 min of Vail so alternatives are not far away at all.

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    When I checked Okemo’s webcam around 1pm the orange bubble lift was stopped and waving around in the wind. Football, mountain biking, and beer is on the agenda this weekend. MTB trails should be frozen up quite nicely by tomorrow morning. Glorious. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    Glad I stayed home. Upsetting I lost the $$ but would have been more upset had I gone. Will have much more fun in sunny NJ today.

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    I think the season/conditions that transpire along with life’s higher priorities determine the days. I don’t get achieving a day # target when so many variables are completely out of your control. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    If you’re an absolute diehard with little else on the agenda, then I understand this, I guess (although I’m a diehard mountain biker and wouldn’t neessarily agree.....I stay away on crap days). But if not, then you are essentially forcing yourself to be miserable because the cash is already...

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    Yeah. I'm losing $2k for the lodging and lift tickets for the 3 of us. Makes me sick but going there will make me more miserable and cost even more. Would be happier at home doing things locally. Theres nothing of interest IMO in central Vermont. Cutting my loses. Sent from my iPhone...

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    I’m seriously thinking of just not going and I’ll lose my $$. If there were other fun things to do in the area then I’d go but there really isn’t. I have two 20year olds who want to ski in decent conditions. I’ll end up spending another $500 on meals and gas and driving 10 hours round...

    Damn. Already bought the lift tickets too. Any other suggestions for fun things to do in the area.......albeit in the rain. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rain on Friday......Grrrrrr

    Ugh. Every year we go on a brief trip and I’m taking my boys up to Okemo on Thursday night to ski on Friday and Saturday.........only to hear there will be mid 40temps and all rain on Friday. Can’t cancel so someone please tell me something that makes me feel better. Any chance it may be...

    Thoughts on MLK Weekend

    I can tell you from first hand experience this week, Stowe has great conditions right now. You will not get that in southern VT. Driving the extra miles will be worth it. Enjoy!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Stowe 1/10 thru 1/14

    Got there on the Sunday rain day so Monday skiing was super icy and hard. Great grooming made Tuesday a fine day with 45 trails open. Had 5" Tuesday into Wednesday and Wednesday conditions were outstanding. Today they were perfect. There is excellent skiing to be had at Stowe. Sent from...

    Okemo Crowds

    I wish more people felt this way to lighten the crowds that can develop at times. It's a fine mountain that gets it right the vast majority of the time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hoping the AZ'rs can help with some questions about Okemo

    I too will praise Mr Darcy's. Nice meal and beer there. Same goes for Killarneys where we had a meal and took in some late Sunday afternoon football. Went to DJ's a couple of years ago and had very nice family meals there as well but didn't make it there this time around. Ludlow is nice...

    Okemo Crowds

    I was there on 12/20, 21 at Jackson Gore when conditions were great and the help there was superb. All around.....lifts, food service, hotels, and local restaurants/pubs/shops (who also employ many of the same workers)......everyone was very pleasant. I also found Tuckered Out to be a great...
