Annoying Okemo fanboy

canobie#1 · Jan 23, 2016

Anyone else know people like this guy? All he does is talk about how much better okemo is than everything else. Poor sucker doesn't know good skiing when he sees it, :dunce:

Its mid winter, and many ski areas finally have enough trails open for this time of year.

Congratulations to Okemo for having over 500 acres of skiing open. Thats more open terrain than anywhere else in the east right now! I guess they really don’t have New Englands largest snowmaking system for nothing.

For those who never been to Okemo, don’t be discouraged by the haters, and neither set your expectations too high. Give it a go, and make up your mind.

One ski area I am planning on hitting soon is Sugarloaf, and it looks like their summit lift(timberline quad) is finally open for the season! Its amazing how long it took for them to get that area open.

Its easier to blow snow on a golf course like Okemo than most ski mountains.

500+ acres. And none of it interesting

I have a friend who thinks Okemo is "the biggest peak in Vermont." He first said it meant tallest mountain. Then he said it was "the largest mountain" when I proved him wrong. He won't go anywhere further north.

I can have fun for a day on the south face with some natural snow, but most of those trails aren't open right now.

Its just like stratton.

I do give them kudos for opening so much terrain with 30" of natural snow through the end of January.

I haven't met this guy but having skied Okemo and been bored to tears with the terrain, elbowed out of the way in the lift line by entitled BMW driving d-bags and run over in the lodge by clueless type A's, I'm glad Okemo exists for these skiers.

I think the Okemo guy is a close relative of the Sunday River woman and the Loonatic from Massholechusetts and the Joey at Mount Snow or Stratton. If these "resorts" didn't exist, those type of skiers would clutter up the mountains I like to ski. And they would whinge about a lack of amenities and slopeside condos and exclusive dining opportunities and special passes that let them cut the long lift lines on weekends and valet parking.

End of rant.

Q) Anyone else know people like this guy? All he does is talk about how much better okemo is than everything else.

A) No. I've never known, or heard of, anyone saying Okemo is better than everything else.

He likes Okemo. It's subjective. It's not worth getting wound up about.

The moderator of that site deleted a crap load of his obnoxious posts. haha

the worst is when friends, who are more into going to drink spiked hot chocolate and party and aren't really into the actual skiing, book a house at killington/mt snow/okemo, and I decline the invitation, and they say "but dude you love skiing more than anyone I know!". yea, and if you booked a trip to sugarbush or jay etc I would have joined you

If people are out having fun, that's all that matters.

Slowkemo fans are everywhere in the Albany area. Good place to go to feel better about yourself.

If that's "the worst" then you are leading a charmed life, my friend.....and possibly with very few friends.

I'm just surprised there's an discussion forum for Canobie Lake Park.
