Okemo opens this weekend! so does anyone know if they are going to have any rails set-up? i was up at mt snow sunday this weekend and it was alot of fun great coverage everywhere for this early in the season. So my question is should i spend the 39 bucks at mt snow, or just use my season pass and go to okemo, or do one saturday and one sunday?

odds are high okemo will have a set up that doesnt even come close to what mt snow has.  if i were you i'd hit up okemo saturday and snow sunday if okemo sucks.

do u give out freebies?

and to the okemo vs. mt snow thing, its been a lot warmer these pasts couple days than it was last week when mt snow made a lot of their snow, so i'm not sure if that hindered okemo from making as much snow as they might have wanted but idk for sure. anyways i would hit up mt snow, u can always call okemo on thursday/friday

Okemo probably won't be as good as Mt. Snow, but I know that's where I'm gonna be- it's cheaper (for me) and closer.

last year opening day okemo had a 10 foot rail and a 10 foot box. it was reall lame compared to other mtns. mt snow has a full rail park with LEGIT sized features. Ill be skiing at okemo this weekend because i cant afford any more lift tickets.

i guess ill be hoping for a somewhat long flat rail and some kind of box. (at best)

i wish okemo was as motivated as other mountain with their preseason parks.

"I spoke to our Parks & Pipes head yesterday and he promises a few boxes and/or rails on opening day -and building from there. But, he could not confirm which trail they'll be on. Stay tuned..."

straight from the okemo site...

mount snow man, there are already pictures and vids posted on the forum of their set up and some kids riding it and they are dope for this early in the season. okemo has a decent park mid winter but snows is very impressive for the east coast.  i wouldnt count on okemo for having anything to stellar up yet

it sounds like okemo doesnt know really what they'l have for park stuff this weekend, so u might wanna consider mt snow or killy if u want more then 2/4 features.

mt snow does have the nice jump, where killy says they'l have one but in the past its only been like 15-20 ft at the most. both have rails and such, prolly very similar. its hard to tell where to go cause no1's been anywhere besides mt snow so. i would say chill till sunday and just read reviews of place from sat and make a decision from there.

"Today we are putting up some features on Sapphire. Some pretty mellow set ups to get everyone started. Starting off with a flat box, flat rail,rainbow box, short down rail, two short boxes set up as flat down and maybe a barrel jib"

thats the word on the street.

it rained all day and now its snowing/drizzling outside. 1-3 inches of snow overnight. should be fun.
