Well that would be something but insurance has handled it. I go through a local insurance company and I mean really local. I actually do all the electrical work in the corporate headquarters. No 800 #'s to deal with.It might be a little bit more but the payoff is service when you really need it. I had the insurance adjuster calling me as I was heading down the Stowe access road on the way home after learning of the fire.

Well here are some photos of the new gear that Blizzard so generously sent along with all the help from Nolo and the Epicski family. You all are so kind and generous. Caitlin cannot wait to get on them next year.

They are in the same spot the Crushes were in the former garage which has now been cleaned up and hauled away. That was good to be rid of the blackened char, it was a very depressing site each morning. Now it looks so much better especially with that happy girl and those beautiful skis.Thank you again, sincerely, David McCluskey  (Snowbowler)

Caitlin here,

I would like to thank the admin of the Epicski website, and also the Blizzard company for sending me these AWESOME Sambas. I absolutely can't wait to try them out later this year, once my knee gets better. As of now, it is 16 weeks since surgery and I am improving every day, with the help of physical therapy and biking trips with my dad. Next ski season, my dad and I are hoping to fly out to Jackson Hole, Wy. and spend some time skiing there. This will be quite exiting for me seeing as I have never been there before. And now with these brand new skis, I am going to have an amazing time during the 2012-2013 ski season. Once again, thank you all so much for your generosity and I am very, very, VERY grateful for this kind gesture.

Well Killington says they have received 19" over this past week, just rain and cloudy in the valley about 30 mile n.w. of Killington  where I live. Supposedly they will have 40 trails open Sat, but I'm done for the year, got to get on the road bike and back into tennis.

Kudos to them for stepping up on this one. 

 

Don't forget to post a TR when she gets out on those. 

 

Maybe you will get to ski with her and see for yourself. I am seriously thinking about the Gathering next year. Just have to work out details with regards to missing some school. Maybe a good incentive for her to work harder. Blizzard is a great company. What do you think about their Viva 8.1? looking to find her a carver 75-82mm ski for our hardpack and will definitely go with Blizzard.
