Okemo Mountain Resort is located in Ludlow, Vermont. Okemo has plenty of terrain - 119 ski trails served by 19 lifts. Okemo is considered to have some of the best snow in the east, and 97% snowmaking means constant coverage. Okemo not only caters to all levels of skiers, but Okemo is a great mountain for families, too.

Since the trip is coordinated through the ski shops in NY we will have to reserve a seat on the bus soon. I have been told the buses fill up very quickly!!!!! Please let me know if you want to go NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY15if you want to go.I will call them after that date if there is still interest for availability.

Also please note. The bus leaves from NYC at 4:30 AM so I think it is best if we leave Friday night and stay at my place/friends apartment in the city so we are not trying to catch a 2am bus to NY on Saturday morning. This is your own choice.

Trip is 89.95 for a lift ticket and trasnport from NY to VT. Bus tickets from Philadelphia to NY (we dont all have to go at the same time it is totally up to you this can be coordinated) is up to $20 roundtrip.

We come back really lateon Saturday night.

Please email me with questions. If you buy a seat and do not show up they will not refund your money.

The number of spots available is tentative. I cannot control how many spots they have on the bus the sooner you pay the better guarantee you will have for a spot.

If you do not have gear email me and I will send you their alternative price list.
