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'.

It seems like it would have made more sense to shut SQ down on a slow tuesday and put the sheaves on and have less windholds then to leave it for later and have more windholds
Thanks for the update. It's nice to know the highly touted sheeve trains will still be installed. I think last year had less wind than '07/'08 and '080/'09 and but it will be interesting to see if they improve the wind resistance of the SQ.
I think…
I hope Ethan can fill us in on this one. Many of my Loafer friends and I are puzzled by this question. Last year this was announced as an improvement for the SQ to make it more likely to run in windy conditions. Nothing was done and the rumor mill…
I guess "they" read my post. Still nothing official about 2010-11 skiing improvements, though the Zipline and Chairlift rides will help make SL more interesting in the noon-ski season. Also, the Zipline may run in winter too.
Well, the old photo gallery on the left is gone. I'll miss her. It was like that old truck rotting beside the garage. Now that she's gone, you realize you really did love her.

Why does this site continue to show pictures from "This is a collection of photos of this year's Capital Improvements in progress." and all the pics are from the summer of 2009. The section is captioned "What's new for 2009-10?"

a t-bar would be cool and maybe a trail or two to go with and a kick ass glade

although it wont have any meaning to many skiers it will attract enthusiasts if there was a hike only gladed area or extreme like area over there. It would create a rage similar to what casablanca did at saddleback if it can be reached with a short…
