Review: Pros: Jackson Gore. It's quieter and less insane over there...for now.
Cons: Pretty much everything else: Poor lift setup creates crowded (and not all that challenging) trails. Overpriced. Difficult parking. I'm also not a big fan of eastern ski areas that construct "clock-tower base villages" like the one at Okemo.
Verdict: There's a reason it's nicknamed "Slowkemo."
Description: Vertical Drop: 2,200'.

Lifts: 18 (5 high-speed quads, 4 fixed-grip quads, 3 triples, 1 T-bar, 2 pomas, 3 magic carpets).
