yeah you have to sit in a yurt for 15 minutes and basically sign a waiver...SES pass, if you arent 18 and dont have a parent handy dont count on getting the pass.

stratton has its ups and downs but overall much better than last year. i got some clueless asian guy at the lodge to sign mine, and i asked him right in front of the people at the counter. so its not hard to get a pass.

yeah okemo added tons of lip to all their jumps so you get pretty good air time. the 50 footer on nor easter is quite large

sometimes I can, like, read peoples minds... its like I have Espn or something...

the pipe at okemo is by far the best on the east coast, plus they have the sick wallride, if they continue to add more jumps they'll be good this year..but stratton will always be better for kickers and tables..seeming that almost every magazine rated them like top 3-4...you just have to watch a video for the park with the bigger jumps (40+ ft.)

they dont really look at the waivers so dont worry if your not 18, just check the box and say that you are

if your not 18 sign you parents name they dont care, strat is much better for jumps even though okemo bumbed the big table to 50-60 feet with mad boot the landing is about a foot long, okemo for rails or pipe
