The Okemo Halfpipe is more than just a feature on the mountain—it’s a vital part of our community and a beacon for snowboarders and skiers across the Northeast and beyond. Its absence this year not only diminishes the experience for local riders but also impacts youth programs, competitions, and the broader snowboarding culture.

Why the Okemo Halfpipe Matters

• Local Impact: The halfpipe serves as a training ground for youth programs and aspiring athletes, inspiring the next generation of snowboarders. It also contributes to the vibrant winter sports culture that fuels local businesses and tourism.
• Regional and National Importance: Okemo’s halfpipe has long been a draw for riders across the Northeast and a critical venue for regional events, helping connect the mountain to the national snowboarding scene.
• Snowboarding & Freeski Culture: Halfpipes are iconic symbols of snowboarding and freeski’s history and progression. Removing Okemo’s half pipe sends the wrong message about supporting these sports and communities.

1. Local Youth and Community Programs: Enabling kids and teens to train, grow, and compete.
2. Regional Competitions and Tourism: Attracting riders from across the U.S. to Okemo.
3. The Snowboarding & Freeski Communities: Supporting the culture and evolution of snowboarding and freeski.
