Hundreds of guests and staff were cut off when access roads were badly damaged by flooding, when 8 inches fell during the storm.

Assessments are being made to the other building sin the resort but they have appeared to have come away unscathed.

President and general manager of Killington Resort, Chris Nyber told local media: "Despite the storm damage, Killington Resort plans to open on schedule for the 2011-12 winter season.

"More updates will be made available as power and phone services are restored at Killington Resort."

The resort’s Facebook page added: "The K-1 Base Lodge is not destroyed. The Superstar Pub portion of the K-1 Base Lodge, which is on a separate foundation, sustained the damage seen in photos,"

Checks are being made for structural damage to lifts and buildings in other resorts in the eastern USA.

Sugarloaf in Maine was cut off for a while as the roads were damaged and made impassable and the lift system is being checked.

In Mount Snow a worker at the ski resort died, her vehicle was swept away by the flooding and the three passengers all survived.
