Take a Deep Breath Okay, so we were down, but we are definitely not out. Hurricane Irene threw everything but the kitchen sink at us (actually there have been a few of those and other very large items floating around) and the damage is heartbreaking, but I am so proud of our community and those around us for banding together to help each other through this terrible crisis. Manfred and I couldn’t be more grateful that the Snowed Inn was completely spared, and that we had our power restored relatively quickly, so we have been able to provide assistance to those who haven’t been so fortunate. Our town office staff has been working round the clock to coordinate disaster assistance with state and federal officials, and local contractors have worked tirelessly to restore (very) limited access in and out of town. As one citizen said, we don’t have to get back on our feet- we are already back on our feet and will be back stronger than ever in record time. Killington Resort has some minimal issues to correct and has stated categorically that the mountain will be ready to welcome the first signs of winter and the skiers and boarders who flock here for those first turns of the season. It is my hope that access to town will be restored quickly enough to welcome fall leaf peepers as well. We are extremely grateful to all of those Snowed Inn regulars who have contacted us with words of concern and offers of assistance. We look forward to expressing our gratitude in person very soon!
