Good morning, Okemo fans, it's Noah bringing you our first Saturday report of the year. To bring everyone up to speed, Abby is in Disneyland, getting her yearly dose of the "Happiest Place on Earth" while I get to stay here in my happy place. ๐ It's hard to believe that one week ago, we were anxiously awaiting Okemo's opening day, gathering our gear and kicking ourselves for not keeping things organized when they were packed away last spring. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
In just 7 days, we went from 0 trails to 38. ๐ฏ We saw a significant increase in trails on the Main Face along with the addition of Solitude, and Jackson Gore isn't too far off. While the opening day was later than we all hoped, the entire team kicked things in high gear to open natural terrain on day one, hammer snowmaking to add tons of new trails, and, most importantly, get uphill travel going in record time. โ๏ธ With a bit of help from Mother Nature, the snow conditions have been top-notch, and not just first tracks, which tends to be my focus. I have heard from everyone that week one has been impressive! Stay tuned for today's morning hike, I was solo today, which means you get some thoughtful contemplation and reflection... ๐

Both Abby and I have personal connections to all of our sponsors and today is no exception Some of our favorite people staff Main + Mountain and, most recently my Wife, Rachel, who will be helping out on weekends, be sure to stop in for their Miracle on Main Street from now until December 31st. Don't tell her I sent you, though; she might get embarrassed...
My own business, Open Door Vacation Rentals, also helps keep the lights on here at Unofficial Okemo. Me and my team are here to make your time here at Okemo the best it can possibly be. If you need a place to stay when you come to the slopes, we are here to help!
Homestyle Hotel is one of our favorite spots. Whether it's a quiet date night or a family outing, trying to get my dad to understand Family Style means you need to share; you will not be disappointed to book a Resy.
