Segway Adventure Tours at Okemo all Summer!

Segway® Personal Transportation Tours

The Segway® PT's are scheduled to arrive at Okemo on June 29th!

Segway® Personal Transporters are a unique mode of transportation
and a great way to see Vermont! These gyroscopically-balanced
transports are eco-friendly, easy to maneuver, silent, emit zero
emissions, and are a blast to operate!

Your tour begins with a hands-on demonstration and safety
orientation, followed by a skills and confidence building
"obstacle course" before heading on your tour. While both tours
take you around Jackson Gore and the hills of Vermont, you can
pick from one of two options:

**The Introductory Tourlasts for about one hour. See some of the
local history unique to Jackson Gore and experience the natural
environment around us. This cost of this tour is $39.

**The Off-Road Touroffers a little more adventure for the
dare-devil in all of us moving from pavement to the real deal -
Vermont's green mountain topography. This tour lasts about 1.5
hours and the cost is $59.

Segway® PT's are billed as "the world's first self-balancing
human transporters." Dynamic Stabilization enables Segway's
self-balancing emulation to work seamlessly with the body's
movements. Gyroscopes and tilt sensors in the Segway HT monitor a
user's center of gravity about 100 times a second.

Not Just for Winter Anymore! Okemo Resort

First day of Summer has arrived!Summer begins in the Northern
Hemisphere on June 20, 2012, at 7:09 P.M. (EDT).

According to the Farmer's Almanac, each year the timing of the
solstice depends on when the sun reaches its farthest point north
of the equator. This occurs annually on June 20 or June 21 in
North America, depending on your time zone. The word solstice is
from the Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop),
reflecting the fact that the sun appears to stop at this time. In
our region, we notice that the sun is higher in the sky
throughout the day, and its rays strike Earth at a more direct
angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer. In the
winter, just the opposite occurs: the sun is directly overhead at
its most northern point at "high-noon" on the summer solstice,
creating more sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere on this day
then any other. So what are you going to do on the longest day of
the year?

CampGokemohas opened up at Okemo and anyone who visits the
Jackson Gore area Monday thru Saturday will see lots going on at
camp. Plenty of activities happen during the day ranging from
swimming, to hikes, team sports to rock climbing. There are also
visits to Plymouth State Park on some days and field trips to
area attractions.

In speaking with the"golf guys", things are going well at both
Okemo Valley Golf Course and Tater Hill Golf Club. The greens are
in great shape, the grass is growing quickly and the irrigation
systems are going full swing during this hot weather. Did you
know some of those guys begin mowing greens at 5 am? It is a lot
like the winter operations guys, except it is much warmer!
Rodney, who is the course superintendent at Okemo Valley and Eric
at Tater Hill work hard to keep their courses looking good and it
shows.

The biggest question I am getting asked..."how is the zip line
coming?" Well, things are looking good. The name is Sawyer's
Sweep Zip line, and the lower two sections are complete. Work is
progressing nicely on the upper sections. We are anticipating an
early July opening and guests can begin inquiring about
reservations atOkemo.com. We will have a more firm opening date
to share soon.

TheAdventure Zone begins 7-day a week operationbeginning on
Friday June 29th, so be sure to check it out!

Enjoy the sun and have some fun... Okemo, not just for Winter
anymore!!

Event: 7 Day Independence Day Celebration at Okemo Resort - Jul 4-11

Okemo Mountain Resort is going all out this Independence Day with
seven days of celebration, adventure, and fun for the whole
family! Check out the following announcement for the schedule of
events:

On Sunday, July 1, Wunderle's Big Top Adventure Circus is rolling
into town. The one-hour performance from three of the world's top
circus performers starts at 4 p.m. in the Jackson Gore Ice House.
The show features aerial acts with trapeze and fabric elements,
partner acrobatics, and comedy. Wunderle's Circus performers'
credentials include Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey,
Circus Smirkus and Cirque du Soleil. Circus fans may purchase
tickets online in advance for $12 for ages 13 and up, and $9 for
children 12 and under. Purchased at the door, tickets will be
priced at $15 and $12 respectively. Admission for children under
3 is free.

The Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series continues Friday evening,
July 6, with a performance by Erin Harpe & the Delta
Swingers. Erin has been hailed "an authentic blues chanteuse,"
earning a reputation for her raw style and accomplished
finger-picking guitar playing. Erin and her gang combine delta
soul with Boston's rich blues heritage. Admission to the concert
is free and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic
blankets. Concerts are held in Okemo's Jackson Gore Inn courtyard
every Friday evening throughout the summer. The music starts at 6
p.m. and dining options include an outdoor barbecue or
full-service al fresco dining at Coleman Brook Tavern.

On Saturday, July 7, Okemo wishes the U.S.A. a happy birthday
with its annual Red, White & Blues Festival. This
all-American concert features popular blues artists Lydia Warren
and the Dave Keller Band. Lydia Warren tours internationally from
Brooklyn to Beirut, whipping audiences into a frenzy at each
stop. A versatile singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer, the
Boston-based performer tours and records as a solo act and with
her band. The Lydia Warren Band has been nominated for a Boston
Music Award, appeared on NBC's Today Show and has released five
albums. Based in Montpelier, Vt., The Dave Keller Band's
reputation for dynamic, soul-stirring performances extends
throughout New England. Dave Keller is a singer/guitarist who has
forged a style uniquely his own - intense and soulful, gritty and
sweet. Like the best blues and soul men before him, Keller
learned his art firsthand from the blues masters. Admission to
Okemo's Red, White and Blues Festival is free and music fills the
air starting at noon. The lawn in the courtyard at Okemo's
Jackson Gore Inn becomes an outdoor concert venue for the special
occasion. Families are welcome, and all attendees are encouraged
to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets. Okemo's culinary staff
will be serving frosty-cold beverages and fresh-from-the-grill
burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and more. Concert-goers
can also opt for full-service dining with al fresco seating at
Jackson Gore's Coleman Brook Tavern.

The Jackson Gore courtyard offers plenty of room to kick off
those shoes and dance on the lawn, or to toss a ball or a Frisbee
back and forth. Okemo's Adventure Zone will be open with plenty
of heart-pounding activities including the Timber Ripper Mountain
Coaster, a roller-coaster-like ride where riders control the
speed. There's trampoline bungee jumping, miniature golf, disc
golf, a climbing pinnacle, a slackline, the Amp Energy Big Air
Bag, a giant inflatable pillow like Hollywood stuntmen use. Okemo
is also slated to open its new zipline tour on Julky 7. This
high-flying, two-hour, guided treetop tour books early, so
reservations are recommended. Okemo's Adventure Zone is open
daily in July and August.
