Comments
Ricardo's Role has been reported a couple of times now but we were able to get a closer look while skiing out there 1/16. The area that slid was pretty much identical in size to the slide that gave the area it's name. Ran down to the summer trail. Could see that Pete's Slide ran full track as well. Also included a photo of a slide between Back Tube below Football and the chute below Rollo. All probably happened on 1/14.
First three photos are of Ricardo's, last is of the one described above not reported.
