### ⭐ Trail of the Day

*Get to know Okemo! Every day, we highlight one of Okemo's 127 trails. Today's trail is*

#### [Challenger](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/challenger)

Challenger technically begins from Buckhorn above the Main Face summit. That top section is wide and usually well-groomed. 

After it passes by the Summit Lodge and [Turkey Shoot](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/turkey-shoot) forks off, Challenger becomes more... challenging.

The lower section is narrower, ungroomed and typically without snowmaking. It pops out right where [ Upper Fall Line](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/upper-fall-line) meets [Countdown](https://www.okemozone.com/trails/countdown).
