A local logging company plowing the Mill Hollow Road undercut the Mill Hollow slide path earlier this week, knocking the legs out from under the slope, and stacking up enough snow on the road to knock you off your feet. This slope has quite the history and was the site of a very close call in 2019. More details here.
