Why Okemo

Okemo pairs 98% snowmaking coverage with a small-town base in Ludlow, about three hours from Boston. This is the read I give every buyer before we look at a single property.

The Mountain: Two Base Areas, One Resort

• Clock Tower base. Okemo's original hub at the mountain's main entrance, with rentals, dining, and slopeside lodging at Mountain Lodge.
• Jackson Gore. Opened in 2002 on the mountain's north end, home to the Jackson Gore Inn and Jackson Gore Village.
• Ownership and lifts. Vail Resorts has owned Okemo since 2018, and it is on the Epic Pass. The Sunburst Six has protective bubbles and heated seats, and the Quantum Six and the bubble-covered Evergreen Summit Express quad add high-speed capacity.

Okemo at a Glance

Who Buys at Okemo

Okemo draws families first: parents who want kids to learn and progress on a mountain that feels manageable, and grandparents who want a place the whole family will actually use. Many buyers have skied here for years and value reliable snow and an easy drive.

Where to Buy at Okemo

On the Mountain

• Jackson Gore. Slopeside lodging and residences at Okemo's newer base area.
• Solitude Village. Ski-in/ski-out townhouses and condominiums at mid-mountain.
• Clock Tower base. Condos and lodging around the original base area.

Ludlow Village

• Ludlow. A few miles from the slopes, with a walkable cluster of restaurants and shops.

Beyond Ludlow

• Surrounding towns. Ludlow borders Plymouth to the north, Cavendish and Chester to the east, Weston and Andover to the south, and Mount Holly to the west.

What Drives Okemo Home Values

Slopeside access and convenience lead. Homes at Jackson Gore and Solitude command the premium, followed by homes close to Ludlow village. Views and privacy matter more as you move off the mountain.

Ownership Realities in Vermont

• Short-term rentals. Ludlow is considering a short-term rental registry ordinance, and every Vermont short-term rental must register for the state rooms tax. Confirm current requirements with the town before you count on rental income.
• Transfer tax. Vermont charges 3.62% on the purchase of a second home fit for year-round use, well above the rate for primary residences. It's due within 30 days of closing, so build it into your budget from the start.
• Property tax. A separate second-home property tax rate was authorized in 2025 but hasn't been set. Worth watching if you're buying now.

Working With Me

I help buyers decide where at Okemo to own before they tour a single property: Jackson Gore, Solitude, or the village, and what ownership will actually cost. Let's talk.
