:sad:

Not entirely....just the SS pub, I think.

 

[Gnarcissaro]

I assume you mean, this.

Shitty.

 

[bobbutts]

yeah, exactly.. I read about it on the challenge thread, so figured the main forum could use a thread too.. The pics from up there are scary, hopefully it's limited to property damage.

Appears to be damage at Ram's Head and Snowshed as well as major road damage all over.

K seems to be isolated right now - all roads in washed out...

Unfortunately it is true. The KBL is gone. Rutland news is reporting that the Killington base lodge has totally collapsed.

This information is inaccurate. It was the Superstar Pub portion that sustained damage which is on a separate foundation from the main portion of the K-1 Lodge.

The resort is still without power and all major roads into Killington are closed.

Crews are assessing damage and updates will be forthcoming on our blog

Very sad to hear this. I trust that K will be up and running in no time.

+ vibes to all the good people of VT to get through all this. Hurricane or tropical storm, Irene left one big mess!

 

[Ridgeman]

Good luck on your recovery. The Big K is not alone in this one. Based on what I have read the challage is going to be to get the roads and bridges replaced. A lot of folks are going to need a lot of help to over come this one.

I hope Threecy is making the trip to record the environmental damage Killington has perpetrated by having all those ski trails cut of their trees.:flame:

Killington is not a State run ski area last I checked. There are plenty of folks that will be monitoring every step of this natural disaster assessing the possible damage to the various eco systems.

+1 here... Definitely some positive vibes to the K-Mart crew... Looking forward to hitting K this season as I did miss out last year.

 

[Tin Woodsman]

Any damage at Cannon?

Yes, but threecy assures me there's no reason to believe it was the work of Mother Nature.

 

[bobbutts]

Obsessed with Threecy much?
it's a little creepy, he didn't even post in this thread

+1, my best skiing memories of my childhood are all at Killington, have a lot of memories from all across that mountain.

Looking forward to learning more about the recovery from this!

I'm still in a state of shock over all the damage. I grew up in Hartford, VT and seeing all the photos and videos from friends still in the area is just unbelievable. I have an aunt and uncle who are completely trapped in their house as all the roads out of their area are rivers or washed away. Insane.

Vibes to the K crew as they work on getting things cleaned up.
