Did they open Ripsaw Saturday? I was over at King Pine in the morning and it was roped off.

Skiing there Friday it looked like it would need a hell of a lot more snow than that to open up some of the trails. I was shocked Saturday morning to see Sheer-Boom open. Haulback looked like it was done for the season Friday too. Even though it was snowing Friday it wasn't sticking to the bare spots. What a difference a day makes.

Even the glades were good! The glades between Kings Landing and Hayburner were awesome. Some kids showed me a narrow trail in the trees next to double bitter that I've never noticed before.

Great weekend, hopefully I can make it up at least one more time.

Dropped the rope in the afternoon. I think they realized it was a lost cause keeping closed as plenty of people were skiing it anyways as well as Can't Dog.....one person at least who shouldn't have been.

We saw one guy at the Can't Dog traverse back to Haulback being hauled off in a sled with a splint on his leg. My last run with Pat had us run into a couple of regulars spying some woods. They talked about how good Can't Dog was and we mentioned the guy in the splint. Said they saw him skiing and he had no business being in there and heard him screaming after a fall. I'd imagine Reggae weekend sees a lot of that. Beer muscles sending beginner skiers and riders into terrain over their heads and getting injured.

added a few more vid's to my orig post, the reggae music is for two reasons:

1) it was reggae weekend
2) too many F' bombs were dropped, it was that f'n good.

Sunday Cant Dog was still roped off but Ripsaw was open down til the last traverse. I did see lots of people coming out of Cant Dog but I didn't bother ducking the rope.
