"The goods are in the woods" fun wooden features, just ask around. The actual park is descent, you'll be fine.

Everything is pristine but the features aren't very big and basically no long features besides a few. Great for learning just.p tricks the jumps there are beyond mint

Yeah sadly, some parks are adding this now to apparently "keep the gapers out" but it really just makes it more difficult for actual park skiers. Its probably only like 5 dollars and they might not even check if you are willing to risk that.

I haven't been to Okemo since they started doing that but I think that you buy the pass and then you can use it either for the whole day or forever as long as you have it with you. It's definitely not $5 per run.

You can ski the park for the price of one lift ticket no park pass needed.

Imo the parks improved greatly in the last few years, now that they are managed by spt (help with feature design etc.) they improved a lot since last season. But they do only have a certain level of features. So basically there medium to large ish features are fairly decent.

they do say that you have to get a park pass to get in but there is no one there that is even checking. I went twice this season, skied all their parks, and never got a park ticket
