I have been skiing at Blue Knob for over 50 years. I remember the at the top the" lodge" burned down to the ground and then rebuilt. Hopes were high that things were going to improve. It never really did unprepared for warm winters caused profit to plummet with and no capital to improve snow making not to mention maintenance on equipment Blue Knob is in a death spiral. I am very happy it is still operational and I pray that it will survive.
Mark supported: A Change in Blue Knob Ski Resort for Better ManagementWhat does Google lose by including this information on Maps? I just don't get that. I use it more than I realized until it was gone. I may never click on a trail or lift, but just by scanning the map, I can tell things like which direction I'm facing from the top of a trail, what landmarks to look for, where to find a restaurant or lodging near the slopes, etc. It is very valuable.
Martin supported: Urge Google to Bring Back Ski Lifts and Cable Cars on Google Maps!I used this a lot when choosing where to stay at the big resorts and often used it to guage where i currently am as a landmark when i get lost on the provided trail map that doesn't have gps. Not everyone skis at vail with their own gps app based trail maps. I even went to 2 smaller resorts that i never would have known existed because i saw the lift lines on the map near my route. Please bring it back. Surveying at only the large resorts is not at all an accurate sample of who uses this and is unfair to the smaller resorts.
Jason supported: Urge Google to Bring Back Ski Lifts and Cable Cars on Google Maps!The half pipe at Okemo has been a staple and hallmark for training for myself and athletes I coach or have coached. The Tbar and the pipe together allows for such a quick reload for training and progression. The community it is built for, be it snowboard or freeski is extensive past the local Okemo area. This halfpipe has made many legends and should continue to be allowed to make many more.
Patrick Coach PM supported: Save the Okemo Halfpipe: A Local Treasure with National SignificanceRemoving the pipe but adding bubble chairs isn’t the answer. Kids wanna progress and I grew up seeing first backflips and flairs out of that pipe to which athletes were created. It has more memories and special moments for anyone that has used it than the entire mountain does. Don’t put profits before people.
sam supported: Save the Okemo Halfpipe: A Local Treasure with National SignificanceThe Okemo halfpipe has been cornerstone of Okemo mountain for over 20 years. It has provided joy for parents, grandparents and children alike. It has provided training opportunities for many young athletes, many of whom have become Olympic medalists and world class athletes. It will be devastating to the mountain and our community if we lose this half pipe. It is also not only Okemo Mountain that will suffer. Many local businesses rely on the revenue brought in by the half pipe. Athletes from around the east coast travel to Okemo to train and compete because we were the only half pipe on the east coast.
Aubrey supported: Save the Okemo Halfpipe: A Local Treasure with National SignificanceMy most vivid childhood memories were created while hiking that pipe! Another generation deserves the same opportunity to create community and friendship like I had.
Kyle supported: Save the Okemo Halfpipe: A Local Treasure with National SignificancePlease save Okemo’s Halfpipe. This halfpipe means so much to me and my family. Please let the next generation of skiers and riders enjoy it too!
Eliza supported: Save the Okemo Halfpipe: A Local Treasure with National SignificanceFor twenty years i volunteered in the Ludlow elementary school on-snow snowboard ( and ski) program. When Okemo opened the mountain to snowboarders and Ludlow elementary began its first snowboard winter, I was the first and only adult volunteer instructor. I watched many kids become adept and grow into high school competitors. The halfpipe became a rite of passage for nearly every snowboarder. Even i in my late middle age had a blast on those steep sides, falling.
Okemo needs the halfpipe!!
