COVER STORY Okemo Mountain Resort
With diverse terrain
and superb amenities,
Vermont resort delivers
OKEMO
By Brion O’Connor

Photos/Okemo Mountain Resort
here’s an old adage that pets often resemble their owners. Well, if
there was ever a ski resort that resembled its owners, it would be
Okemo, in Ludlow, Vermont.
The upbeat vibe that Diane and Tim Mueller have instilled at this
wonderful resort is unmistakable. The quiet, lanky Tim Mueller is
the steady bedrock beneath the lifts and lodge and hotels, the solid spine that
supports the resort. Diane Mueller, a bundle of quick-twitch energy, is the buzz
of activity that Okemo has become in the past three decades.
t
Okemo Mountain Resort offers plenty to
do on the slopes and off, with a vertical
drop of 2,200 feet — the highest in
southern Vermont, impeccable grooming
and top-notch lodging and amenities.
Above, kids savor some pool time at
the resort’s Jackson Gore Inn.

“We liked the challenge that the
mountain presented,” says Diane
Mueller, recalling the couple’s decision to purchase the resort in 1982.
“We believed in it, and in ourselves.”
Once a quaint hill popular among
loyal Ludlow locals, Okemo has undergone a huge transformation since the
Muellers took the reins. Early on, the
Muellers’ emphasis was clearly on the
hill. Skiers and snowboarders reaped
the rewards of a flurry of upgrades to
the trails, the snowmaking capacity
and the grooming fleet. Guest services,
notably the ski and snowboard school
and rental shop, also benefited from a
number of improvements. Soon, this
small resort started turning heads.
Today, Okemo stands as one of the
Northeast’s premier ski areas, with 120
slopes, trails and glades totaling roughly 650 acres of terrain spread over five
mountain areas — Jackson Gore Peak,
Solitude Peak, South Face, Glades Peak
and South Ridge — and a 2,200-foot
vertical drop (more than 95 percent of
which is covered by the resort’s superlative snowmaking crew). The resort,
once serviced by three double chairlifts
and six antiquated Poma surface lifts,
now boasts 19 lifts, including nine quad
chairs (five high-speed quads!), three
triple chairs and seven surface lifts that
provide an uphill capacity of roughly
33,500 skiers/riders per hour. Whew!
In short, in three relatively short decades, Okemo has grown from a small,
rough-hewn ski area to a true destination
resort. The resort consistently collects
awards and accolades for its snow quality, grooming, terrain parks, children’s
programming and guest services. Skier
visits have soared from 95,000 during the
winter of 1982-83, to more than 600,000.
“We had to instill in the staff that they
could make a difference — it was the only
thing that the skiers were going to notice
as a change with new management,”

dozens of destinations

hundreds if not thousands
of miles of trail to choose
from. You have your choice
of all-mountain, free-ride,

decades, New England
ski areas have been fine-tuning
their mountain bike trail
networks to expand their
four-season offerings, with
varying degrees of success.

were a guilty pleasure.

thrills by first pedaling
uphill. Even today, lift service
isn’t absolutely necessary
for a great mountain

claim to the biggest and
baddest ski terrain

chased the property and christened it
the Christmas Farm Inn.
The Tolley family bought the inn
from Synda and Bill Zeliff in 2000,
and added the Carriage House, spa,
indoor pool and fitness center to the
property, giving the resort its presentday look. Current owners Sandra and
Gary Ploude have managed the property since 2011, and bought it in May
2013, meaning the inn is being cared
for by people with a vested interest.
That’s always a good thing.
The beautifully appointed ac-
commodations range from rooms at
the inn, which dates back to 1786, to
cottages and suites at the Carriage
House, which was added in the past
decade. The main inn is a heartwarming mix of old and new. The nine guest
rooms feature large, comfortable beds
with handmade quilts, private baths
and flat-screen televisions. Each room
is enhanced by the inn’s inviting common areas, including a cozy living
room, library and the Mistletoe Pub

set of snow tires, to climb the steep hill
to the Christmas Farm Inn (I’ve pedaled my bike to this perch during the
summer, and trust me, it’s a grunt). If
you’re heading north along Route 16
(from Glen, and North Conway), take
a right onto Route 16A into Jackson Village. Just after the Wildcat Tavern, and
before 16A bends to the left, take another right onto Route 16B, toward Black
Mountain. It’s a testament to the inn’s
long-running popularity that visitors
need to drive right past several very
good lodging options, including The
Inn at Jackson and The Wentworth, to
get up to Blitzen Way.
Once you’re here, though, it’s difficult to leave. This fabulous 15-acre
property has been painstakingly restored, which tends to disguise much
of its colorful history. It’s been a jail,
a church, a farm and a private homestead. It has been run as an inn since
1946, when Doris and Dick Welch pur-

on’t get me wrong — I love
the winter wackiness that is
North Conway, New Hampshire. Even more, I love
how the electric atmosphere
generated by the crowds that convene
in and around the White Mountain
Highway positively energizes my two
daughters. They love the people, the
sights, the sounds. It’s pretty frenetic
along Route 16 most times of the year,
but the cold weather seems to ratchet up
the merriment. And my girls and I usually can’t resist diving right in.
Still, there are times when we need
to escape the madding crowds. Sometimes “we” means all four of us, and
sometime it’s just my bride and me.
That’s especially after the snow begins to fly. One of the reasons I cherish winter is the sense of serenity that
the season brings. And when we’re
feeling the need for a quiet escape,
and a chance to recharge our batteries,
there’s no place we’d rather be than

The Christmas Farm offers an
Aveda Concept Spa on the premises,
which is a real plus in my estimation
(once I get back to the inn, I prefer to
set the car keys down, and give my
aging Subaru the night off). Options
range from skin treatments, aromatherapy and massage (reservations are
highly recommended). The “Romance
Package” — one of numerous packages available at the inn — includes two
nights in one of the inn’s sumptuous
Carriage House suites, two one-hour
massages and a bottle of sparkling
wine waiting in the room. No, the kids
won’t be joining us for that weekend.
Last but certainly not least, the
inn also offers discounted tickets to a
number of local hills, including one
of my favorite small areas just up
the road, Black Mountain, and Wildcat Mountain in Pinkham Notch, as
well as the Jackson Ski Touring Center (these cross-country trails, in fact,
swing right by the property). That allows you to play hard. The Christmas
Farm Inn will make sure you’ll be able
to rest easy afterward.

The 12 suites at the Carriage House
are the epitome of country luxury, with
king-size beds, two-person whirlpool
tubs, spacious and elegantly furnished
sitting rooms with gas fireplace, cable
television, refrigerator and striking
views of the White Mountains, all tied
together by a central Great Room with
a massive stone fireplace. Want more
privacy? The inn also offers eight
unique cottages — the Log Cabin is at
the top of my wish list — situated on
the property’s rolling hillside.
Hungry? The village of Jackson
boasts a number of excellent dining
venues, but the Christmas Farm Inn
makes it tough to leave (which, of
course, requires another drive down
the hill). Breakfasts are big and bold,
which is just what a skier is looking for
before a day on the slopes. Staples include eggs and bacon, omelets, French
toast, Belgium waffles and pancakes
(buttermilk or blueberry), plus a continental breakfast bar. This all-important
meal is included in the room rates.
The pièce de résistance, however,
is the Christmas Farm Inn’s dinner
menu, which is both mouthwatering and reasonably priced. Choose
