Ill be at Killington friday and okemo saturday Well, at Okemo, it's always been the Base Lodge, but this year the new Jackson Gore lodge is open, so you have two options. The lift off of Jackson Gore only services that side of the mountain, but in one or two runs you can be back in the heart of Okemo mountain. I haven't parked at Jackson Gore, so I have no idea what it's like over there. At Killington, I am always there early and tend to park at Ram's heads. From that lot, you can easily start at Rams Head Mountain, or walk under the tunnel to the Snowshed area. Same thing on the way back, you can easily get back to your car from either Snowshed or Rams Heads, which give you options depending on what side of the resort you wind up on later in the day. I don't spend much time in the lodges there, though, although Rams Head is the nicest while Killington has some good food and beer. Our plans are to be at Stratton on Friday, then either Killington and Okemo on Sat and not sure about sunday yet. Although, it does also depend on how the conditions are looking. I'm usually at Killington serveral times a year, but haven't been there since the massive Nor'easter dropped 50 inches in December...boy what a weekend!

AtomicSkier Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Yea, I'm very very familiar w/ Okemo, as is my friend, but I dont frequent Killington often....i'll keep that in mind, and maybe ill see ya up there? hah, thatd be funny Quote
Ski Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 The Bear Mountain lot and lodge are usually a good bet and you get to finish your day on Outer Limits with everybody watching. Quote

skidude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Problem with rams head it it is like 10 trails just like raceway with slow signs all around and nothing else. Tho can can get some nice speed going and lay a few nice arcs down when there are no "gates" We have mostly always parked by the K1. Quote

skidude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Tho problem with Killington is they rape you on everything...Isn't it like 72 bucks for a day weekend ticket? That is making CBs look cheap and that aint easy to do. Quote
chrisjur Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Posted February 26, 2004 Yep, they rape ya. Stratton the same. Okemo not far behind. Either is Mt. Snow. Come to think of it, this is one helluvan expensive sport... Quote
skidude Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Yeah but it just seems like Killington is so much worse than everyone else. Anyway Jeff maybe it is time to make this into another topic...Being it now has nothing to do with the start. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 i can goto okemo on friday and surday for $97 total, so i may just do that Quote
chrisjur Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 i can goto okemo on friday and surday for $97 total, so i may just do that Yes, that's a good deal...I would take it. Quote
