Vermont Traffic Jams

Those are three words usually not seen in close proximity. But talk about the downside of weekend homes in popular areas! the Bennington Banner tells us that the access road to Stratton Mountain Resort, close to Winhall, brings about 10,000 people to this teensy village on winter weekends. And that brings traffic snarls and frayed tempers. In summer, by comparison, Winhall and Stratton have a combined population of 800 to 1,000, according to police.
