people who are hating on ducking the rope have obviously never skied out west. if they did they'd know that they are also used to mark out where cliffs are so randos don't get cliffed out.
yeah, anyone who's skied baldy knows that's total fair game. i love that line. those ropes are completely to keep unsuspecting riders from the sharp teeth of north baldy. although it would have been easier to just lift the tips and ski over the rope...<br>
