Okemo will be open for Skiing and Riding this Saturday December 5 at 9:00 AM. The mountain will have very limited terrain on the upper mountain with access from the Glade lift. With this limited terrain, it will be very important for our safety and the other skiers and riders to stay in control and be aware of others on the trail.
The competition center will have skiing and riding for some groups as well as dry-land training and waxing clinics. Also on Saturday Nite at 7:00PM in the Sitting Bull we will have the OMARA Social. This is the annual meeting of OMARA and is a great opportunity to meet the coaches and families in the club.
The meeting will have our most current information regarding Okemo MT, Competition center, OMS and OMARA. We will also have an important presentation introducing the new OMARA wed site go2omara.com.
Hope to see everyone
