We traveled to OKEMO from the Hudson Valley the last weekend of March 2018. We ended our 17/18 snowboard season on a high note for sure. This was our 2nd time at OKEMO, first visiting in 2015 at the beginning of OKEMO’s season, the season that started my children’s love of riding. We took part…
Winter is coming… or should I say it’s already here? But there’s really no reason to be afraid of the shorter days and colder nights.
