Timber Creek - Proposed
In the permitting process as of 2012, Timber Creek could be Okemo's next big real estate development. Located below the South Face area, Timber Creek would potentially feature 208 units, mixed between homes, duplexes, and condominium complexes, as well as an "owner's base lodge."
About 550 vertical feet of lift serviced ski trails would be created in the complex below the South Face Quad chairlift. The seven trail network would be serviced by two lifts.

Interesting. Hope this doesn't overcrowd the South Face. That lift already has some of the longest lines at Okemo. I don't see how it could support the increase of skiers. This would destroy the glades over on that side of the mountain (which is already Okemo's worst kept secret). If this does get built, it won't be pretty. 20 minute lift lines on South Face and Glades. Rimrock would become a superhighway. (begin rant) Really, Rimrock is pretty much the only way out of South Face. It is a high-intermediate (by Okemo's standards) and is already over-crowded with all types of people. People trying to pick-up speed for the Catnap traverse. Beginners, experts, and intermediates trying to leave South Face. It's already a mess. Now add condo-goers to the mix. Not pretty. And I won't even get started on the Glades peak quad base/Ledges quad unload intersection. Add more slow signs to that area! It's a steep approach to Glades and people are flying in both directions! (end rant) And Okemo really needs more condos? Are they trying to become North Ludlow? The place already has the most condos in the Northeast (besides Sugarloaf)! Can you tell me no wants this?!
