A worthwhile drive from Boston, much of Connecticut and New York City, Okemo, located in Ludlow, VT is a destination AND a weekend warrior resort (beloved for decades, Okemo real estate has many multi-generational second homeowners). The apporachable terrain is expansive enough to warrant several visits. Easy to do as the Epic and Epic Local passes offer unlimited access. 

Okemo Resort has some of the most comprehensive children's lesson programs in the Northeast. From the Snow Stars Program (ages 3 - 6) to premier seasonal programs such as the freeride and freestyle focused Amplitude program, Okemo's instructors specialize in building lifelong skiers and riders. From pristine corduroy, to navigable glades, there is terrain for everyone. Even the seasoned jibber will find excitement in Okemo’s terrain parks. With an abundance of slopeside lodging, families can choose to stay in and cozy-up by the fire or roll down the hill into Ludlow.
