  2. •Exit onto NY Route 295 East

  3. •NY 295 to NY Route 22 North (alternatively, turn off onto NY 23 East towards Hillsdale for a nice break at the Hillsdale House at JCT22/23)

  4. •NY 22 North joins NY 7 East

  5. •Stay on NY 7 East following signs to VT 279--bear left at the amber flashing light. (Do not follow signs to US Route 7 or turn right at the flashing light.)

  6. •At the end of VT 279, follow the signs to US 7 North. This will involve making a 270-degree right-hand turn on the ramp.

  7. •Take US 7 North to Rutland, where it joins US 4 East

  8. •Follow US 4/7 through Rutland

  9. •At traffic light immediately after Grand Union, turn right to follow US 4 East (Walgreen's on the corner)

  10. •US Route 4 about eight and a half miles up hill to Pico Ski Area on right

  11. •Right into Pico Base area, then follow "From US Route 4" below

From US Route 4

•Winterhaven is 1/2 mile up Alpine Drive on the left
(Sign in front with cow on skis says "Winterhaven") It's the third driveway/second obvious house on the left after the second switchback.

  3. •Take I-91 through the rest of CT, all of MA, and up to Exit 9 in VT (Hartland)
