<\/a>LUDLOW, Vt. \u2013 Okemo Mountain Resort turns New Year\u2019s Eve into a family celebration by moving midnight forward \u2013 allowing families with young children to ring in the New Year at a reasonable hour. Okemo\u2019s Family New Year\u2019s Eve Party is scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Following early evening ice skating, mountain coaster rides, snow tubing, horse-drawn wagon rides, magic shows, party-hat decorating, marshmallow roasting, bounce-house bopping, bingo games and a trivia tournament, families can ring in the New Year early with a DJ Dance and Pizza Party – and still get the kids to bed in time for a full day on the slopes the next day. Party games, balloons, noisemakers and a 9 p.m. fireworks display add to the New Year\u2019s Eve celebration at Okemo\u2019s Jackson Gore.<\/p>\n
