Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 127 trails. Today's trail is* #### 🟦 [Boomerang](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/boomerang) ![Boomerang](https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Boomerang.jpeg) Boomerang is one of the three intermediate trail options you have to get down to the Solitude base. The upper half follows the path of the Solitude Express Quad, so be prepared to be judged on your skills. This section typically has a small ungroomed part on the left side if you enjoy moguls. The lower section is a bit steeper as it joins with the other tributary trails and can become icy. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Ftest-blog%2F2026-01-01](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.okemozone.com%2Ftest-blog%2F2026-01-01) ## Keep reading [![Sachem - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Sachem.jpeg?width=5456&height=4092&name=Sachem.jpeg) ### Fri, Apr 17: 15 trails (+1), ☁️ 58/62° ](https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2026-04-17) [![Outrage - Trail of the Day](https://www.okemozone.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Outrage.jpeg?width=5395&height=4046&name=Outrage.jpeg) ### Thu, Apr 16: 15 trails (-20), ☁️ 61/75° ](https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2026-04-16) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "OkemoZone", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/author/okemozone" }, "dateModified" : "2026-01-02T00:44:11.866Z", "datePublished" : "2026-01-02T00:44:11.000Z", "headline" : "Thu, Jan 1: 67 trails (+4), ☁️ 5-18°", "image" : [ "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/trails/Boomerang.jpeg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.okemozone.com/test-blog/2026-01-01", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.okemozone.com/hubfs/OkemoZone/logos/okemozone.png" }, "name" : "OkemoZone" } } ```
