A Vermont Highway map showing road conditions, updated daily, I think: http://www.511vt.com/Documents/Irene...10920_1605.pdf It looks like roads are still beat up near Killington. There is still work going on. Route 4 to Rutland is open and paved. Route 4 toward Woodstock is also open and paved. Much of the work now is shoring up the margins along the rivers. |

The state is still calling "limited service" on the main routes that were hard hit. Our point of view is that it's all pretty much open with shoulder work and guard rail replacement going on resulting in single lane traffic here and there. |

I hope you have better luck with that than SR 39 in California. It was washed out in a storm in 1978 and might open next year. On the other hand, SR 330 into Big Bear only took about 6 months to rebuild. |

It will make it SOOOOO much easier to get to Mountain High that fewer people will go to Big Bear. OTOH, that would probably mean shutting down one more BB lift :-( The last several times I went last year, they left Chair 1 closed all day. Before that they didn't open it until maybe 10:00. I'm hoping that my just-begun exercise program will help out with the extra climb, but I'm not really optimistic. On the other hand, SR 330 into Big Bear only took about 6 months to rebuild. I would hope that they inspected the entire road for similar damage. I'll be really glad not to use 38. -- Cheers, Bev "Qui custodiet ipsos custodes?" --Juvenal |

I think they used flash before. Last year it worked, but it took a long time for the initial load. OTOH, since they didn't have Chair 1 running, maybe they're switching the camera to chair 2. Or something completely different. Another note - the San Gorgonio hikers report frost last weekend. Somebody posted a picture. The mountain was white-ish. Looked more snow-like than frost-like. Soon... -- Cheers, Bev I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. |
