Two lifts will serve four trails: Buckhorn, Count Down, Upper World Cup and Drop Off. Two lifts will be running: Northstar Express and Glades Peak Quad. Guests will be shuttled to the base of the Northstar Express and will access the snow by riding up the Northstar Express and skiing down to the Glades Peak lift. When guests are done skiing, they will download on the Northstar Express.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis early opening is due to the extra effort and hard work that our snowmaking and mountain operations staff have been doing on the mountain,\u201d said Okemo Mountain Resort VP and General Manager Bruce Schmidt. \u201cGood snowmaking temperatures and the new snow gun purchases have helped us get snow down on the upper mountain.\u201d<br \/>\nOpening day lift ticket rates will be $39 for adults, $34 for young adults (13-18) and seniors (65-69), $27 for juniors (7-12) and super seniors (70+).<\/p>\n<p>More information may be obtained by calling (802) 228-1600 or by visiting okemo.com.
