false, okemo is waaay worse the killington. There are maybe two-three challenging trails on the mountain, where as killington has a bajillion steeps and great glades. The only pretty good thing Okemo has is their park, and if your going for that, just go to Mt.snow nearby, its park is a million times better than okemo's.

summer in maine, two lights state park and the oxford bridge, shits crazy fun to jump off

winter: portland in general.

have yet to go skiing on the east coast. if im going to be honest im pretty spoiled by little cottonwood canyon and have little interest. but i will get the bug and hit it up this winter, except i have nothing under 100mm underfoot. shiiiiiat.

you cant be serious, i really disagree, in the past okemo has had a decent park with some cool rails and bigish jumps, but the actual skiing on the mountain is pathetic. Everything is super maintained, no bumps or anything steep really, okemo caters to the skier who wants to ski groomed blue squares all day (and if thats you no hate) but any real skiing is killy fo sho. the park is pretty much the same if you ask me, but killington has terrain thats fun to ski. thats just my 2 cents i guess

Hit up Tuck's right after a big storm. You could use your 100mm skis then.

Okemo is for corpo to bring up rich people and make business deals with them on the mountain hoping that a day of skiing and kissing ass will work in their favor.

Killington is by far the best. and when if i ever get bored of the trails there, i know plenty of tree areas that always provide.

Killington and Mt.snow for parks

Jay is amazing if you get at the right time of the year. They get so much snow up there.
