Yes, you are correct. The year of the Holiday storms. Wasn’t that the spring when the Killington Refugees came to Sugarbush.

i've made the same adjustment in order to appreciate the bad days more. those days i set vertical footage goals, speed goals, and form goals. i'll try to get very low in my carves. i'll try to basically ski a narrow slalom course the width of one groomer, pretending that there are vertical drop offs on either side of my track. try to ski every narrow line down every trail so that i color in the whole run on the ski tracks app. stuff like that to keep it spicy.
as much as i rag on racer kids (and i stand by them being the worst contingent at any given mountain), i think i would have been quite good at it, had i not grown up on an island at sea level

That year I spent mostly off trail and in all kinds of obsure places. I learned about runs like Sugar Sugar and Nowhere. You could ski anywhere and we tested the boundries of that ending up in all kinds of strange places. A good year indeed.
could be, but I think that was either the next season or the one after that. We have friends who had/have a place at kton who were amongst those refugees and I'm pretty sure it was either 07/08 or 08/09. but tbh since the pandemic my memories of the before times is pretty shaky.
and there's still one place we need to go to.

Valentine's storm was 2007, Refugee Shirt Day was April 26, 2008. Killington had closed already.

Boy I sure hope so. The last two weeks have been absolutely terrible.
A Killington Refugee shirt. That is a blast from the past!
A blast? Not at all, those nyburg years are years I would like to forget!

I did not mean it in a bad way. I was just using it as a rhyme. Trust me, unfortunately I’ve had to tolerate POWDR and it’s stupidity.
