no idea what year it was but I skied Waterville Valley in NH one time several years ago. it was ice cold, windy, and the trails were icy as hell. I came off the lift, headed downhill, and between the wind and the ice, I was on my ass being blown straight across the trail into the woods, it was almost blowing me up the hill. I made it down eventually and headed to my car. huge waste of 50 bucks or whatever the ticket cost me that day.
