RHSC Board

Good news – there was no exterior damage to the RHSC lodge from hurricane Irene. Doors and windows are tight. Our source hiked into Killington and without a key, had no interior access. Roads are still not passable. The lodge remains closed until further notice.

This email from KMS provides more detail on the impact of Irene in Killington:

Dear KMS Community,

Irene slammed Vermont with mind-numbing force on Sunday, and Killington is among the areas still cut off from the state highway system. Pedestrian traffic to Rutland is possible, but vehicles are not
currently allowed through. Route 100 is washed out at numerous points between Killington and Stockbridge and at numerous points further north. It is also washed out between Killington and Ludlow. Route 4 between Killington and Woodstock is treacherous at best and passage has been restricted to emergency vehicles. The Ramshead, Snowshed, and KBL base facilities at Killington received significant storm impact. (more…)

Power is out in most of Killington region, including Barts Hill, along with rest of central VT.

Roads and bridges are washed out. Base lodge at Killington callapsed. News reports do not express the magnitude of destruction. Information on our lodge is not yet accessible. We will keep all posted as local information is verified.
