This is the video of the full experience of a run, both the ride up and the skiing down, at the Jackson Gore of Okemo. The Jackson Gore Base Area is home to Okemo's main hotel, along with some nice condos.
The first lift I rode in this video is the Coleman Brook Express Quad. The Coleman Brook Express Quad is a detachable quad chairlift located at the Jackson Gore area of Okemo. The lift runs from the Jackson Gore Base Area, to just above the bottom of the Quantum Four Express Lift. This lift serves as the only lift that transports skiers and riders out of the Jackson Gore Base Area, and its main purpose is to serve the beginner terrain on Jackon Gore and to transport lodging guests at the Jackson Gore Base Area to the upper mountain. The lift was installed in 2003 and was manufactured by Leitner-Poma.
After skiing a few feet off the Coleman Brook Express, the second lift I rode in this video is the Quantum Four Express. The Quantum Four Express is a detachable quad bubble chairlift located on the upper portion of the Jackson Gore Area at Okemo. It transports skiers and riders from near the top of the Coleman Brook Express Quad, to the top of the Jackson Gore Area. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders can access trails of all difficulties, and can also access two of the other area of Okemo, the Main Face (and Clocktower Base Area), and the Solitude Area. In 2002 the lift was installed as a standard (no bubble) express quad chairlift by Leitner-Poma and was called the Jackson Gore Express Quad. In 2015, bubble chairs were added to the lift, and it was renamed the Quantum Four Express. Originally planned for the 2020-2021 season (but delayed due to COVID-19), this lift will be relocated to the Main Face of the mountain, replacing the Green Ridge triple, and will return to not having bubble chairs. After relocation, the lift will be replaced with a new detachable six-pack chairlift (with no bubbles).
The run I skied in this video was Sunset Strip (beginner) to Blue Moon (intermediate) to Lower Limelight (intermediate) to Fast Track (beginner) to Inn Bound (beginner). The run starts off as a very mellow, beginner trail, called Sunset Strip, which runs to the left, coming off the chairlift. After skiing down a little, the trails splits. You can either continue straight, which brings you to Mountain Road, which lets you ski to the Solitude and Clocktower Base Areas, or you can stay left to ski onto Blue Moon, which stays in the Jackson Gore Area. I took the left onto Blue Moon, which is an intermediate trail but is still pretty mellow. Not too far down Blue Moon, the trail merges with Upper Limelight (advanced) to become Lower Limelight, which is an intermediate trail with a little more pitch to it, but still not too steep. After skiing Lower Limelight, you will arrive at the bottom of the Quantum Four Express. At that time you can either ride the lift back up to the top of Jackson Gore or continue around the lift and onto Fast Track, which brings you back down to the base area of Jackson Gore (which is what I did in this video). Fast Track and Inn Bound are both beginner trails that run down to the Jackson Gore Base Area. Both of these trails are popular with first-timers but are also used by those returning to their lodging at the Jackson Gore Base Area.
Okemo is a ski area located in the town of Ludlow, Vermont, which is located in Southern/Central Vermont. Okemo is one of the larger ski areas in Southern Vermont and is, therefore, a popular ski area. Okemo is known for its wide variety of condos and groomers and is therefore extremely popular with families, which the resort caters to very well. A few years back, Okemo was purchased by Vail Resorts and is therefore a destination on the Epic Pass. Its sister resorts are Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire and Crested Butte in Colorado.
