Would be interested to hear more about this as well.
I went on a trip to ski Mt Snow in March 2020, and noticed 4V8 on the map. Had some time to kill one day, and wandered over there. Have to go through a housing subdivision to get to the field. There was a small FBO building that was locked, with a sign on the door giving a phone number to call. Everything looked to be in decent shape (tarmac, buildings, etc).
I got curious, and poked around online. Found the same thing you did, conflicting info on if it was actually closed or not. I recall coming across some reviews online from pilots who'd flown in there recently.
At one point, I spent a couple hours going down the internet rabbit hole on 4V8. Sounded like it was a nice field, and I think it had some kind of charter service at one point to serve the local ski resorts. Then, someone came in with a bunch of money and bought nearby Haystack Mountain to turn it into a private ski resort. They bought up a bunch of other local assets, including 4V8. All of a sudden, the bottom fell out of the whole effort, Mr. Moneybags left town, and it sounded like the local municipalities were left holding the bag. Haystack Mountain eventually became a private resort (The Hermitage Club) under some different owners. 4V8 seemed like it was left in limbo, and I didn't see any kind of strong local opinion either for or against it.
Interested to hear any additional info, especially from locals. Seemed like the immediate area would be a nice place to live, and seemed like 4V8 was a nice little field, albeit on the shorter side (2,650 ft).
