A snow hat with studs on brim - thats one way to clear the slopes!

Okemo shouts of youth, speed, fun and funky trail names.  The crowds seemed strongly high school and college age and lighter on the family side.  Take a look at the picture of the funky wool ski hat with chrome spikes worn by what seemed to be a Junior in high school – now that is cool!  Check out the two high speed chairs right outside the base lodge – just walk 50 paces out of the front steps and you are in line for these super fast lifts.  Even the trial names seem on the edge – Stumpjumper, Rimrock, Upper Wild Thing and Blind Faith lead the list of fast, aggressive type names.  If I have time, I will devote a whole web page to all the crazy names of ski runs I have come across during my journey.  Thanks Okemo – great racing down your slopes.
