I stay at the Turn of the River Lodge and rent one bed on weekends for $32 on non holidays, which is great. This year I am going to buy the Okemo season pass, or think I am, have not decided. Anyway, does anyone know of a place where you rent a bed for the night near Okemo?
Thanks.

How about Dr. NO's place? It's not a hotel or motel but he is located in Rutland and equidistant to both K and Okemo.

A TORL / Killington regular bailing to Okemo? You'll have to check in during the season and report your experience as compared to the Big K.

I don't know what he's up to this year with his ski house, and you could PM Token Boarder. He has a nice place close by Okemo. He might be keeping it private this year, but you could ask.

Well, I have been a regular at Kton for years and not Okemo. However, I want to change it up a bit this year (plus okemo is 30 min closer from Hartford, ct)(I did 30 day trips last year, so it adds up!). I used to buy the ASC pass and visit Sugarload and Sunday River every year, can't do that this year. Okemo seems to have a better value. Furthermore, I love kton and find it hard to bail, but things change.

Anyway, I spoke with Dr. No and hes not doing beds this year, just rooms, too pricey for one guy. Thanks for the responses.

Although I will ski Okemo/Stratton this year, Kton will always be my MT of choice, and I am still young......

And I feel weird posting these things about okemo on this site, but okemo does not have anything like it.....this gives me an idea.....

FYI, I have not fully decided on Okemo vs. Kton, I just need to find a deal at Okemo like the $32 a night....if I don't.....Kton it is, cause I want to do a ton of weekend trips rather than day trips.

THANKS!

Like I said, he may tell you he's not doing that this year, but it's worth a shot. Close to the mtn., nice place, nice people. Give it a shot.

Hey Token:

Can I rent by the hour if I visit Okemo and want to stop by for a snooze at the end of the day? :lol:

Bed depends upon you wanting the Bed for the season or Bed for the night / weekend. I have available night beds, but as Ty said it is about 30 minutes to either K or P-Okemo-N.

You could join a ski club and rent a bed in one of the houses. Mt. Laural is in Proctorsville. Several club members from CT have houses and rent beds in the area. I think the council page has a chat, and I am sure some of the clubs also have chats so you could check it out. Also, watch for club Open Houses in October and November for better info.
