thats what we're wondering - we're planning on being up there this weekend

My guess is no. Cant be accessed from Rte 4 east or west. Washouts in Mendon and killington flats. Go boating on the great south bay this WE
but Iceman is ramping, and we were gonna drop him off and then spend the weekend at K, state fair etc (wonder if they'll cancel that?). Lets hope maybe they build something temporary in order to circumvent... For all.
I havent heard from JTJ today, but he would be the one to ask. last I heard from him was about 11pm last night when they lost power. Yeah dorque, I cant see how you would get here without going through mendon or killington flats. Pittsfield and 100 is a total mess too. The VT State fair is on schedule opening on Friday according to their fb page

2 Major resorts took major damage. The K looks pretty bad though. Okemo got damaged pretty good to. Pics from Ludlow were not good.

How did the Long Trail Brewery make out? It always seems to escape the worst of the spring floods.

After seeing Shortskis house, I hope the brewery is still there. He'll need it!

Not good at all. Reportedly very heavy damage. Leonards propane (or wahtever it is now called), white cottage and hemmingways are no longer there from what I was told

Is ski season in jeopardy? Or a portion of it?

I'm in a state of absolutely shock and dismay. Does anyone know if the power is still out up there? I was hoping to get up and check on the house tomorrow or Wed., but it doesn't look like I'll even be able to get there. Wonder if it's still standing. :bang

I'm sure they figure out a way to get in and out of Killington between now and Thanksgiving.

That's the same picture Rusty posted a few pages back as West Mountain Road (and the iReport has it as West Hill Road). Which is it?
