I asked earlier, but does anyone know how the seats are heated and how power for heating is delivered to each chair?

Not sure exactly how it works but I remember reading somewhere the chairs are only heated when going through the bottom terminal. Once the chair leaves the terminal they are no longer heated. It's only warm when you first sit when loading at the bottom then lose the heat as you ride up.

Only 3 chairs on the haul rope today per their FB page for testing!
The Bubble chair about an hour South of Okemo was sure nice in the mid-winter like breeze and temperatures today!
I'm sure Okemo's guests will be thrilled with the Sunburst 6!

Okemo will try anything to bring people.
Repeat visits are their second biggest problem.
The big problem is lack of any good terrain.

The only problem Okemo has is they are in the black and the end of the season.

Okemo is in really nice shape today. Nice soft groomers. Feels like April turns. Foggy but warm. Place is empty

Being profitable is not a problem.
They cater to who they cater to. Regardless, a lot of people rather watch paint dry than ski there.

Great work by Leitner Poma! I know that one of my friends who's an Okemo regular can't wait until next weekend when he gets to ride it!

Open this weekend.
The Sunburst Six is ahead of schedule and is projected to open this weekend! All the bubbles were put on the cable yesterday, and I must say, it looks pretty saaa-weet.

Heated seats? I wasn't old enough but I heard a rumor that MRG used to hand out blankets on the single if it was cold. Okemo skiers are a bunch of pansies!!!!

Blue bubbles look better... and that' not the Mount Snow love that I have that's speaking. The orange will look bad in a snowy landscape, IMO. Definitely eye-catching.
I'll be their January 4th to ride it. Can't wait.

Mansfield chairs at Stowe (double & single) & the Killington Peak double did the same thing. Wouldn't call them blankets, they were wool poncho's you pulled over your head. Protected both back & front.
Okemo skiers don't need heated seats to be catergorized as pansies.

I rode it last Saturday. Its nice and comfortable for sure. I didnt care for the bubble down as it created an odd yellow color against the white snow. Its a nice lift overall though. Doesnt increase uphill capacity for Okemo but creates a buzz and allows them to move Northstar over to Sunapee which has more real value than the Sunburst will IMHO

replace quad with 6 pack doesn't increase uphill capacity?

The story ive heard from well connected Okemo passholders is that it has fewer chairs on the line than Northstar
