WHAT IS UNOFFICIAL OKEMO?

Unofficial Okemo is a local and independent snow report publication, offering ski condition updates for Okemo Mountain. Ludlow locals, Abby Childs and Noah Schmidt, launched Unofficial Okemo in December of 2022. Since then, it has grown into a successful online community of skiers, riders, and winter enthusiasts who find value in their local perspective and unique insider updates provided in their snow report newsletters and social media channels.

The goal of Unofficial Okemo is to create a dedicated space for skiers and riders to get an accurate, up-to-date, and honest snow report for Okemo Mountain.

The support from their readers, subscribers, and followers is what brings them back to the slopes each and every day. Join the community and subscribe today.
