Thats a half hour down the road from me. I own a ski shop near Stratton Mt. www.startingate.net, hoped they faired well during Irene, that area got hammered.
They had their road washed out.
Been to Stratton Mt. as a summer tourist, I'm not a skier, lol. I think I've been to your ski shop as well, it's been a few years.
My wife is partial to the Manchester and Arlington for the shopping.
