Do you remember was that top to bottom??

Don't think it ever ran from the very top, usually started about halfway down the less steep part. Not exactly the longest trail to begin with. Should be a good time. Some friends and I ran an "underground" version of the race for three years, the "Ripcord Cup". Painted up a nice old milk can with the double diamonds and made about 50-60 shirts each year. The ski patrol was actaully very recpetive and helpful. It was during the time the mountain was holding the Glade-iator on Beartrap. Eventually they moved it back to Ripcord so we didn't hold our undergroud version. After a couple years I guess interest faded, and the Glade-iator was no more. I seem to remember the entry fee being pretty high the last year or two. Not sure how much that contributed to it's demise.
