Okemo Mountain

Located in the Black River Valley of central Vermont, Okemo Mountain Resort has been transformed from a small local ski area in the early 1980's into one of the northeast's leading resorts. Unlike much of the competition in the rapidly consolidating ski industry, Okemo is independently owned by Tim and Diane Mueller. The Mueller's have invested nearly $200 million in facility improvements during the years.

On-mountain condominiums, along with privately owned homes, are a big part of the landscape at Okemo and provide the ultimate in ski-in/ski-out convenience. Okemo's slopeside condominiums range from 1 to 5 bedrooms and offer all the amenities of home.

Tucked beautifully into the base of Okemo's Jackson Gore Peak, The Jackson Gore Inn is Okemo's newest ski-in/ski-out accommodations. The Inn combines the warmth and allure of the Vermont countryside with the ambiance of a fine hotel. The room's range in size from artfully appointed guestrooms accommodating four people, up to opulent 3-bedroom suites equipped to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests.

The Jackson Gore base area features its own unique collection of restaurants and shops, as well as a dedicated high-speed quad lift, a 400-foot carpet lift, a Learning Center desk, Equipment Rental Center, Snow Sports Shop as well as parking areas.

On the slopes, Okemo's snowmaking and grooming teams are recognized nationally for overall snow quality and consistency. The mountain is a perfect choice for snowboarders and freestyle skiers, as it features two super pipes and five terrain parks. Okemo's has over 610 skiable acres with 95% covered by snowmaking.

Directly below Okemo Mountain, the village of Ludlow offers a fine blend of shops, restaurants and attractions. Ludlow offers many outdoor winter activities including ice-skating, sleigh rides, and snowmobiling.
