Irene really messed up vermont. The killington region especially. these pictures make me wonder whether killington will even be able to open this winter. All the roads in and out are destroyed and the K1 is trashed. thoughts?

Lol. Ski resot companies will pave there own roads to and from the mountains if they need to, they would go out of business if they missed a season.

Damn, that's sick that they have a snowmobile bridge. Other than that, Vermont is in pretty rough shape, I wasn't aware of such devastation.

Sugarbush will be open. Not so sure about killington pico area. I mean re opened the bike park two days after the storm. and mad river glen is also going to open. basically any resort bases in a valley that got flooded will be last minute.

Shit I hope not Vermont has IMO the best skiing in the East, all around nice people, and sweet runs. Did all that rain affect the stability of the lift towers? I could see that being a potential problem ?...Here's hopin for the best I was planning on going out to Jay peak this season.

Pretty sure all the lift towers and cables remained in place and intact. Luckily. That would have been anbitch to have to deal with on top of everything else.
