Remember those increbible snow years we had back in the mid to late 90's. I was just thinking about just how much snow there was. Here are 3 things i remember.
Using the racing building one upper window as a jump. The snow was probably about atleast 8 ft deep
Also on upper wildcat the little up hill at the top there was a groomer cut that was above my head, and this was april!!!
Also the backside at sugarloaf, there were no trees sticking out at all and you could ski from the building without any rocks... sick. For some reason this year the backside was crap, dont know why, last year it was better with less snow :blink:
I bet loafer has a lot to say in this with all the killington late season stories :D

Those snowbanks on Route 17 over App Gap during the winter of 2000-2001 were huge. They could easily eat a car. So many great ski days...lots of great snow.

each year is certainly different than any other regarding snow fall. natural snow trails often present variations from year to year based on snow variations and amount of rain/snow cycles. personally, i appreciate early season coverage the most but as many pow days as possible is nice too.
