I want to give mad props to my man Johnie B. he has pretty much single handedly made our (Okemo's) parks what they are. This year was a very tuff yet successful year. With colaberated minds and a master groomer we pulled off a pretty good season. We together learned alot and have stock pilled a ton of input and ideas that I think next year will be an other huge step towards what we call "making the okemo differance". If yall could please give my man a round of aplause and a big pat on the back. If it wasnt for him and a lil help from the rest of us we would'nt have much .I know he checks this site so reply to this with a big thank you in your own words.

I was at okemo today april 10th for the first time this year in the parks......okemo im sorry but your jumps are retarded in nor easter ( i have not been to blind faith so dunno bout those ).....i almost ended my season today completely overshooting your tables because the landings are so small. And if your wondering if i was just being an idiot and not checkin speeds-I WAS. I had a run through the park first, the 2nd time down watch other people start to get speed down and still managed to overshoot every jump cept the last one which was the only one i could figure out. Your landings are way too short, lips too abrupt and steep, and decks are too short as well. If you made the decks 10-15ftlonger on each table they would be better hell even like 20 ft that trail is so steep speed is def not a problem ( except the last table ). Now with all of this being said I still like your park better then mt snows this year simply because you guys set ur rails up better and have a better variety in jibs overall and the pipe is sick. Also I prob would get used to speed in those jumps eventualy if I rode there a lot but I mean shit it took me like 5 runs just to get speed down and after 5 runs I still hadnt dialed it. The last jump is a booter though good work on that...just wish i had more time to ride it. Oh well lookin forward to booter sesh after you close.....

the zone is definatly the dankest jib park i've ever been in. cut out the lil jump for next year and it'd be absoultly amazing.
