Re: K vs Okemo open acres today

I was more referring to how skiers of lesser ability perceive steeper trails. Those with less skill perceive steeper as being icier. steeper trails tend to get skied off faster when conditions are marginal, and they don't have the skill to comfortably ski a firm steep trail. So they think it is icy...

Re: K vs Okemo open acres today

it's the same reason I hear people at Okemo saying how much better the conditions are at Okemo than at Killington & how icy it is at Killington.. DUHHH, Killington is steeper. The few short decent pitches Okemo has are just as icy. Flat trails don't often get all that icy. Haven't skied Okemo i...

Re: K vs Okemo open acres today

I live in Ludlow and have passes at both Okemo & Killington. Both mountains are well run, and when it comes to snow making and the ability to deliver a good product when mother nature sucks, both are at or near the top of any mountain in the country. That being said, trying to compare trail coun...

Re: Horrible Accident at Okemo Sunday Morning

Horrible Accident at Okemo Sunday Morning

A collision between a snowmobile and a skier at 8:15 AM What I Saw - first run down lower world cup, was about 100 yds from the last flat spot where you either drop down left to the bubble or cut right to head over to Sachem lift. On skiers right, skiers cross from a condo trail, "Sachem",...

Re: Dear Mr. Solimano

What? Are you all scared to speak the truth? I love what Mike has done but let's get real, the mountain is a disgrace. You all make fun of Okemo and Stratton but they must be doing something right! I live in Ludlow, but Ski K more than O, and was at K Monday & don't disagree with many of the co...

Re: Trying to improve ski technique

Sounds like you are very big toe edge dominant and no tipping with the uphill (free foot) ski is occurring. This will create a nasty stem move, The uphill ski needs to continuously tip throughout the arc of the turn. (tipping is done with foot movements) When done correctly the downhill (stance ski)...
