I noticed those trees out behind the Gatehouse as well.. looks like we may finally be able to ski to the super bravo instead of pole-along.

I heard lots of truck trafic heading up the road this morning, but I don't know anything else as of yet.
Just wish they'd put up pics on the lincoln peak village website... if they're gonna put the effort into making a "look at the status" page, they might as well update it... really wanna see what it's looking like...

Well, if you're in the Valley, why not just drive or bike up there and check it out?
Can't drive myself, 15, only can drive with a parent, and they're working (though I must say I've only had since June 4th and my parents are commending me on how good I am...) biking... yeah it's a bit far from Moretown... as well as the fact that I don't actually have a bike at the moment that fits me... PLUS I'm at camp right now at williams college in MA (academic summer thing)... coming back on the 26th though, then I'll persuade my mom to accompany me as I drive up...

I'll try to get some recent pix up on my site in the next few days.

Will post here when I do.

Stay tuned. :wink:



:idea: Which is not the same as staying fuzzy. :beer: :lol:

Claybrook Progress pix

OK, took a little longer than I expected.

I was going to do a chronological order kinda thing with explanations, but started to get the feeling that the pix would make the website after Claybrook was fully inhabited. :roll:

So Here:
http://groups.msn.com/JimsSceneryPix/recentpix.msnw?Page=5 is a set of pix. It actually starts with the last pic on page 4 and goes to page 6.

The pic on page 4 along with a few on 5 are before shots. I have more from the early precess, but I'm slow at finding them. The last 6 are from Wed the 20th.

Let me know if you have any questions about them.

There might be others around with more knowledge of the project progress. I just know about the pix. :wink:

Hmmm....doesn't seem as big as I was thinking. Are they going to build the new lodge or building on that bank where the trees have been removed. Also, I noticed that the Season Pass office is being moved.

Just the new lodge for public is being built first....

And I believe that's what they've broken ground for. The Claybrook residential "private" lodge/timeshare is another building altogether, and, it is my understanding, is a "phase II" construction.

The building being built is, again, I believe, the "guest services building" indicated on this site plan:

But, hey, I could be mistaken here.

The plan is to be a number of steps.

The one in process is to be the family center. It will have all the ski school and day care operations along with guest services. (I believe that the season pass office will be in that section.)

That is why the trees being pulled from behind Gatehouse was such a surprise, as the part of the plan that replaces the Gatehouse lodge (a constant complaint for years) was to be at least the third part of the plan.

Nice pics, thanks for the view... This one really shows how much the landscape has changed on that side of the base: http://groups.msn.com/JimsSceneryPix/recentpix.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=555

Yeah, what is going on?

I was at a party (In Massachusetts, no less) this weekend and heard the "bad rumors going around" comment. When pressed for details, there were none, but the lack of a foundation going in several weeks after excavation, lends credence to the "bad news".

So what is up?

That sounds like a $ issue.

Fill the hole

I was up there on Sat to check out the situation. Stopped in for a sandwich and the owner who has been there for many years told me he heard they were going to fill the hole back in and things were not going well.

Noski could probably shed some light here.

As I mentioned in another post it is great that they are tearing down those delapidated buildings at the bottom of the access rd. It's a pretty valuable piece of property so does anyone want to venture a guess or know what might be built there. Probably a mini shopping center.

Great to have you here, Castlerock.

Yes, I noted too in Lostone's pics that the site work was actually quite minimal. No foundation and nothing really done...looked kind of pathetic actually.
