I'm faced with a decision to get a pass to either Stratton or okemo. Which one has a better park? Also which one has better general terrain, glades, etc...

Trick question: neither has a good park or good terrain

although i dont agree with how you worded that at all you are right i find killington to be much better than stratton or okemo, but seeing how that does not answer your question i'd go with okemo

I prefer Okemo...  enjoyment factor has always been high there and i feel like the trail net work is more entertaining.  if you catch a snow day there seems to be enough around to enjoy... but if its deep i'd travel north-er.

lucky for you the SOS season pass is Stratton Okemo and Sunapee. Actual skiing at Stratton and Okemo sucks pretty hard but Okemo usually has a better park. Just get a pass to mt snow for park or farther north for real skiing.

Only thing stratton has going for them is the Snowboarding US Open. The course is usually pretty fun but that isn't until late in the season. Overall Okemo is a more fun park IMO. In terms of real skiing/terrain they are both pretty meh.

stratton has some pretty awsome little spots that not to many people know about. Some decent little cliffs around if you know where they are plus the trees off of kidderbrook are pretty awsome on pow days. No one can beat stratton groomers tho you can hall so much ass on those things there groomed so perfectly
