Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 127 trails. Today's trail is* #### 🟢 [Bright Star Basin](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/bright-star-basin) Bright Star Basin is Jackson Gore's learning area. There are two carpets, [Stargazer](https://www.okemozone.com/lifts/stargazer-carpet) and [Orion's Belt](https://www.okemozone.com/lifts/orions-belt-carpet) which can be taken in succession to gain 100 feet of elevation. Or stop after Stargazer for a shorter run. The slope is extremely gentle especially near the bottom. Smaller skiers may need a push to keep going. Once you're ready to take on something bigger, the [Coleman Brook Express](https://www.okemozone.com/lifts/coleman-brook-express-quad) is directly below.
