The only grocery store nearby was flooded. You have to order groceries online. It takes 24 to 48 hours. This is a major hassle for a family. It is also expensive because we are going to the expensive restaurant. I would wait until next year to visit this resort.

Our 1st family trip to Okemo and it didn't disappoint! Even with the little bit of natural snow the crew did a great job of blowing snow and keeping the trails well taken care of. The kids did the Ripper Mountain Coster and had a blast! Staff was very friendly from start to finish....don't forget about asking for the military discount.

We cannot thank Okem enough for a fantastic weekend! We travelled as a family with our two children. All four of us were completely new to skiing and knew nothing, but wanted to try! We booked a private lesson. Before the lesson, I struggled to get my ski boots on. Within minutes, Tom, a ski instructor came over. He helped me rearrange my attire, pushed on and buckled my boots, which completely helped turn my mood around. Frustrations had set in before he came. He was a treasure and heaven sent! Zane was our instructor for our lesson. He made it so our whole day went smoothly! We did the 3 hour lesson. In those 3 hours, he taught all 4 of us how to ski. We were all, our 5 year old included, skiing down the hill safely and happily independently. He was so kind, patient, and an excellent teacher! The staff at Okem are amazing! They are the reason we had such a wonderful trip and first time skiing! I highly recommend Okem Mountain to anyone thinking about a ski trip!

Zero customer service now that it is corporate run. No longer are there ski ambassadors to help with equipment, questions, etc. Today I asked over 10 instructors about which lifts were open and zero-not one was sure or could give me a definitive answer. There is no shuttle to the parking lot from the base. I was told they don’t have drivers for the parking lot shuttles. Slopes are not groomed well. Just disappointing. Most restaurants in town have closed down which is unfortunate. They are lucky to get their money up front with ski passes, so there is not much to complain about once you’ve paid for a pass.

Went back after several years to Okemo to ski mid week for 2 days. Had checked for weather ahead of time so avoided the previous days of rain/thaw, but still the conditions were tough and grooming difficult, second days was quite good and being mid-week, not crowded. I did notice that in contrast to earlier times that few if none people outside the slop to ask for information. Ate twice in the base lodge pub for lunch. The food and service was fine, but prices certainly in the upper end of the north east ski areas( 10.50 for a draught beer).

I decided to do a solo to end the season, so I drive from Ohio to Okemo April 4-5. Had never been there, always heard good things and wanted to try it! Fortunately I got there early in the morning! so parking was fine (I wouldn't want to get there after 10:30am because you will be doing some walking!). The runs were nicely groomed, had runs for all levels, employees were friendly. The lodge was (what I have become accustomed too) typical Vail Resort-ish....i.e. very basic, expensive food, etc. Overall impression....just OK.
