This past weekend was all about the Bubble.
It was truly exciting times at Okemo Mountain Resort with the grand opening of the new six passenger, high-speed lift: The Sunburst Six. Not only can you pack-in the riders, but it also keeps you cozy all the way up with heated seats and, of course, the iconic orange bubble. The operations crew brought the ambitious project to completion in record time: 139 days from start to opening day.
Thanksgiving weekend was made all the more festive with the buzz surrounding the new arrival. The requisite orange selfies (#nofilter) were taken, new nicknames were discussed (The Bubble, The Six, Orange Vision) and a good time was had by all.
Side-bar: how stellar are the conditions this early in the season?! The whole of Vermont has been enjoying terrific starts, with more snow than ever. Fingers crossed the cold weather is here to stay! Come get your turns in early this winter and check-out the newly minted Sunburst Six.
Winter is coming,
