The Okemo Mountain Coaster
Come ride Vermont's very first alpine coaster at Okemo! The Timber Ripper operates on a year-round schedule and offers a scenic and exhilarating ride through alpine forests and along the contours of the mountain at Okemo's Jackson Gore.
Guests load and unload the sled-like cars of the Timber Ripper in the Jackson Gore base area, near the bottom of the Coleman Brook Express lift. The ride starts with a five-minute, 1,600-foot climb followed by a 375 vertical-foot descent along 3,100 feet of track that follows the contours of the mountain with added waves, camel backs, banking loops and a "twister" section. The sleds can attain speeds of up to 25 mph, but the driver is in ultimate control of their sled with a unique hand-breaking system.
Drivers must be 48" or taller and at least 8 years old to drive the sled. Riders must be 36" or taller and at least 3 years old to ride. Maximum combined weight of both passengers cannot exceed 330 lbs.
