Check out VT ski conditions here!

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

I missed you. Mr. Sun! This is the time of year when I expect to see you every day. I know that whole thing about spring showers and May flowers - but what the heck? These are the days I think about in the middle of January. Spring skiing ... soft snow ... a shell over a base layer, thin gloves, no neck gaiter ... warmer temperatures, bright sunshine ... lunch on the deck ... a goggle tan! It's what keeps me going. Listen, I don't mean to sound like a whiner and I understand we all need a day off now and then ... I just missed you. That's all. How about sticking around for a few days to make it up to me? My skiing and snowboarding friends would really appreciate it. You know, I even invited some Canadian friends to come skiing this week, so how about it? What's that? ... you'll hang out with us for a few days? Oh, that's fantastic! Thanks, you're a real pal.

The sun will be shining down on all of Okemo's 119 trails today. Twelve lifts will be turning to help you with that goggle tan. Temperatures will top out at around 45 degrees by midday today and the forecast is for more of the same in the days ahead. We'll be skiing and riding on primarily loose granular snow. It's going to be a nice day.

In honor of our visiting friends from the north, 10 red maple leaves will be hidden along Okemo's easiest green trails. When you find one, bring it back to the Jackson Gore Real Estate desk in the Main Base Lodge, and win a special prize bag filled with goodies!

Innkeepers will be racing on Wardance today. Let's have a good turnout and make it count.

 2010-2011 Season Passes are now on sale in our online store. When you commit to next season's tracks by April 30, you will receive the lowest rates available and the peace of mind knowing your spot on the slopes in secured.

On Saint Patrick's Day, we'll have another scavenger hunt taking place on the slopes. Find the shamrocks to win some prize-filled goody bags. Please see the online events calendar for a complete listing of upcoming activities.

It's time to boot up and dust off my sunglasses. I'll see you out there on the slopes.
