"Although early snowfall motivated skiers and riders at the start of the season and bolstered their enthusiasm throughout the winter," says Okemo Vice President of Marketing Scott Clarkson, "much of this year's success can be attributed to season pass sales. Okemo saw a 30 percent increase in season pass sales this year."


I wonder how much of this can be attributed to the demise of the All for One.

Great to see record years.

The demise of the All for One (ASC) has to figure in to this.

I'm hoping Tenney catches a break next year along with all the other recently changed ownerships.
