surfarthur 22 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is that from the same crack that appeared in January? Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Looks like it! In any case I've never seen that actually slide before, which kind of justifies the stance ski patrol takes towards people ducking the ropes there. A lesson for everyone, me included!!

foreversnow 5 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I must say I have noticed alot of people ducking ropes and skiing in out of bounds areas this year. Definately more than last year. On Friday I saw the ski patrol chasing some out of bounders and taking their passes off them!! Link to post Share on other sites
