//-->Halfpipe enthusiasts rejoice – Okemo Mountain Resort is
the first in the East to open a superpipe this winter. Snowboarders and
twin-tippers can now enjoy the 420-foot long SoBe Superpipe. With decks spaced
50-feet apart and walls measuring 18-feet high, the debut of Okemo’s SoBe
Superpipe proves that winter has arrived in southern Vermont. When Okemo VP and General
Manager Bruce Schmidt received word
from Assistant Mountain Manager Eb Kinney,
at 5:30 Tuesday morning, saying, “The pipe is done,” he responded
with a message of congratulations to the entire operations crew, saying,
“We couldn’t have done it without you guys … first superpipe
in the East!”
