Editors note: This is the first of a three-part series that explores how innovations at Okemo and Killington enabled them to become successful ski resorts that also contributed to the growth of the ski industry in Vermont, the East, and the nation.

Vermont’s Killington Resort and Okemo Mountain have been, over the last half-century and into the 21st, two of the nation’s most successful ski resorts. They have also been leaders in the ski industry, developing many innovations and enhancements that engendered a better skiing and riding experience, including investing in robust snowmaking operations, which is crucial early season and after thaws like the region saw this past week.
