Epic: Okemo or Sunapee--crowds?

[NewEnglandSkier]

Anyone who skis either Okemo or Sunapee mid-week have any updates on how crowds were this past season? I'm contemplating pre-purchasing an Epic day pass for next season, as I haven't skied either Okemo or Sunapee in years. The crowding reports even mid week scared me off. . . . how were they this season as far as mid week days?

I did Okemo mid-week half days in the afternoon this season and it wasn't bad at all compared to weekend days. I personally don't goto Epic resorts if I can avoid it on weekends.

Did one day at Sunapee in 22/23 season over a weekday and again, not bad at all. Only went there that one day so I don't have anything to compare for vs weekend.

A friend of mine was at Okemo on a tuesday and it was insanity. He ended up going to bromley instead. Maybe that was just an off day.

I ski Okemo regularly, and I think mid-week was better this year than it's been for a while. Fridays are still crazy (it's the new Saturday), and though it's not as uncrowded as it was pre-Epic, it's manageable. I would never ski there on a weekend or during a holiday period, though.

Don't know about Sunapee.

Thanks all! Yeah, no I wouldn't ski there on a weekend. I have strategies to avoid most crowds at Killington/Pico so I would normally go there instead on a weekend. Haven't been to Okemo in years so was considering a mid-week visit for next season just for kicks. Sounds like it's not as bad as it had been for a while overall so maybe worth a visit on a Wednesday or something.
