Weather and Ski Conditions

Tuesday, March 17, 2026   Happy St. Patrick's Day

Good morning, Okemo!  

Okemo at 1030: The sun is out, but the temperature is dropping.  As the temp drops, we are seeing the skiing surface re-freeze and get firmer.  We will continue to operate the Base Quad, Black Ridge, Solitude & the Jackson Gore Lifts and skiing trails off of those lifts.  Morning Star is closed Tue/Wed/Thu.

South Face and Sunshine quads will not operate today.   Sunburst remains on wind hold and will be monitored.

The sun is expected to stay out today as the temperature continues to drop during the day.

Okemo at 1000: The Sachem Quad is now closed as we evaluate the grooming in that area. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

We are going to begin the day on a Sunburst 6 lift on Wind hold. During the day we do expect that other lifts may be impacted by the wind with potentially slower speeds and possible wind holds. 

St Patrick's Day won't be Green at Okemo, but you will see some white and some sun.  The forecast looks like Partly Sunny skies.  Temperatures take a quick tumble this morning as the cold continues to move east. Wind remains elevated through Tuesday.   Today's word of the day is Grace.  The day will begin with lower mountain lifts most likely operating with others coming on as we monitor them for wind, and the trails around are re-groomed.  The Surface will be limited, granular, and a firmer surface.  

This time of the ski season is a grooming game.  The team has been out overnight, and grooming has been done on most of our open terrain.  There will be some trails that may end up being closed as the snow has firmed up. 

This morning our plan is to re-groom several trails from World Cup over to South Face.  The South Face area will be late, and most likely will only have a couple of trails to ski that have been re-groomed.

 Respect the rope and know it is for your safety and that of our team.  Be assured if a trail can be opened, it will be.   We will be skiing and riding on 90 trails & 12 lifts.  New this week. The Morning Star Triple will be closed Tue/Wed/Thu this week as is normal with our lift footprint this time of the season.

Be aware and ski with care.  Natural hazards peak through a bit on the trails in March.  Keep your head on a swivel and be aware of spring condition obstacles like a bare rock, grass patches, and natural moguls.  Check your My Epic App for up-to-date condition & lift reports.  Wardance and its connecting trails are on hold for racing operations.  Supporting tomorrow’s Olympic champions and the Okemo Competition Center is a source of pride for us and keeps the spirit of competition alive.

Re-energize at one of our culinary options for lunch and Dinner.  Base Cafe, The Bull, Summit Lodge, Round House are all open today. Coleman Brook Tavern is open for Lunch & dinner today.
