Just got back to the mountain. In case anyone wants a partner, I'm in a blue grey jacket, yellow goggles, ripsticks

Lol now I don’t feel so bad that’s slightly worse than my mess up! I’m in a yellow/green/black BD jacket on Volkl Mantras if you see me (not in the slides tho!) say hey

Dang! I don't think I should drive all the way up. But maybe the slides will stay open a few weeks and I can convince a family member to come.

Looks like the pitch of Lies. I am sure there are lots of hidden obstacles etc of course because it is essentially side country.

It's steeper than Lies. At least it feels that way. It leaves you without breath in a way that Rumor or Lies doesn't.
ETA I am no one to criticize this kind of optimism.
Dude I love ya, but this is the funneh.

Yeah, overall the Slides are different, and take more out of you. However, that pic is top of Slide 1, right? That’s not very steep. On 1 as you get to the ice falls there’s more pitch. However, other than pitch-y, technical sections I don’t think the Slides in general are very steep, until you get out to 4.
Very jealous though, almost wish I was headed to Placid and not North Creek tonight, but I can only ski Saturday anyway. I may try and plan for WF next weekend and hope for continued Slides action.
Have fun out there!
