Weather and Ski Conditions

Good morning!

Okemo has 86 trails open and 14 lifts will run beginning at 9 AM.  Wardance and its connecting trails will be on hold for racing operations. 

What was that you noticed this morning?  The sun!  It’s out and ready to celebrate Spring!  Today is the first official day of Spring.  But we all know that means nothing to Mother Nature and fingers crossed we get more snow to bring us well into April. 

This morning the temperature is mild, in the mid-20s at the base and only a few degrees cooler at the summit.  Temps are forecasted to reach the mid-40’s.  Unfortunately, there is some rain in the forecast for this afternoon, so I recommend getting an early start.  Bring a waterproof layer just in case you need it.  Early arrival will give access to New England’s finest corduroy, our grooming teams were out working their magic overnight to prep the mountain  for your arrival.  It’s that time of year where natural hazards peak through a bit on the trails.  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. 

Head up to the Summit Lodge for lunch today, have a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, a local brew and enjoy the view.  Or join William in the Coleman Brook Tavern for a glass of wine and a Caprese Sandwich.  Our culinary outlets are open and waiting for you!

Take a lesson to master the art of spring skiing & riding.  This is great time to learn and improve your skills without the pressure of firm conditions and cold temps.   The Ski & Ride School has openings; it’s time you book that lesson you’ve been promising yourself since the new year!  To make a day-of-reservations call 802-228-1600 or visit our ski & ride desk in the Clock Tower Base Lodge or in the Guest Services Lobby in the Jackson Gore Base Area.  We have a team of fun and competent instructors to get you over that hump and down the hill.

Have a great day today!  We are happy you chose to ski & ride here at Okemo,
