I wanted to let everyone know that we
gave it a try and we have run out of guests. We knew this day would come,
we just thought it would be a little later.
Okemo's last day that the lifts will be
turning will be Sunday April 14th. After a great run this
season, a fabulous March and working at extending the season, our skier count
has fallen below levels where it makes sense to stay open. The weather
for the past 10 days has been good, but even that has not brought out very many
guests. Between those who are buying a day ticket and seasons pass
holders, it just doesn’t make sense for us to continue another week.
Closing for the season on Sunday April
14th will give Okemo a 158 day ski and ride season. That is
great news and ranks right up amongst some of the better ones. If you are
wondering the longest season, it was the 1991-92 season when we closed on April
26, 1992 and had 172 days on the slopes.
Many thanks to our skier and rider
guests who made this a tremendous season and thanks to all our staff for your
hard work this past winter. Seasons pass sales will continue thru
our deadline of April 30th. Guests can go to Okemo.com or call
