Nice pictures Matt.

I have never been back there. Everything has to add up and I have never hit it right.

If 2 skiers were to take to the backside.......is it well marked, roped off. Can a first timer navigate the terrain well enough to come out on Ripsaw??

I didn't make it to the backside last weekend (chose not to), but saw some video from people who did..... looked good.

My advice for first timers is to go with someone who's been there before. Its 100% natural terrain and can be unpredictable.

But definitely do it! You'll never forget your 'first time'.
