Ludlow is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. The population was 2,449 at the 2000 census. Ludlow is the home of Okemo Mountain a popular skiing area.

Okemo Mountain Resort is a ski resort located in Ludlow, Vermont. It is one of the few remaining family-owned ski areas. Before becoming a popular ski resort destination, Ludlow was originally a mill town, and was the home of a General Electric plant until 1977.

Many find that Okemo is a pleasant mountain to ski because of the 97% snowmaking coverage and nightly grooming of most trails. It is particularly well-suited for intermediate skiers because there are a lot of cruising trails. Expert skiers may feel limited when the resort is compared to other Vermont resorts like Killington, Sugarbush, or Stowe; however, there is plenty of mogul and glade terrain and terrain parks to keep advanced skiers and riders interested.

Although the East Coast ski experience has been known to be icy, Okemo does a credible job in controlling the issue with frequent snowmaking and grooming. One can see where fresh snow was blown in the last 24 hours and what trails have been groomed by checking a map at any of the ticket offices each morning. After a significant snowfall, Okemo tends to leave several trails ungroomed so skiers can experience the fresh powder. These trails are marked as ungroomed so skiers that do not enjoy thick powder can avoid them.

There are also designated snowshoeing trails on the map, in a couple of different loops on the lower part of the mountain. Like the ratings for skinng the trails, these routes also range from easier to most difficult, determined by how steep each trail is. The ratings vary along each route based on what trail it takes to go back in the opposite direction.
