2010 season pass rates at Okemo resort
“If you ski 10 + days per season, don’t miss your chance to buy a season pass and save big on lift tickets!” proclaims a widely popular advertising pitch. It is somewhat correct: buying a season pass makes sense when you log a lot of days. The question is: How many days do you need to break even?
We continue our “finance for skiers 101″ with Okemo resort and so here is a breakdown of an adult peak season pass numbers.
Unlike some of its neighbor resorts , Okemo resort does not have a “okemo-only-no-restrictions-adult-ski-pass.” Instead, they offer a peak pass valid without any restrictions at Okemo resort and Mount Sunapee. This pass also offers three free days at Crested Butte during the 2009/2010 ski season. Keep these extras in mind when comparing season pass deals.
We are still waiting to find out 2009/2010 lift ticket prices, meanwhile we used 2008/2009 data to ran some numbers. It is an adult, full peak day, no extras type of a lift ticket. We will go over savings cards and promotional deals in later series of article; meanwhile, let’s see what Okemo resort offers this winter.

It seems that Okemo is on expensive side. Though you could use Crested Butte days to breakeven faster. Three free days of skiing during the Christmas week can be very expensive in Colorado.
