no i think it is a natural step up and i hit at blackomb the natural jump is has to mush transition for its lenght so it is hard to do stuff on it

are you talkin about that natural step-up off of 7th heaven chair, where everyone lands on their back?

^just a windlip on the blackcomb glacier, the two defing features is that it has a huge steep inrun, and a a huge lading area. So people have hit it going 70 and just straight air it to see how far they can go. Ive heard that some people have gotten 4 second of air time.

100ft wouldn't be that far on that thing.
But still, going from the top would send you sooooo far and so high.

It was the Schrab brothers that did the double misty and the massive backflip to broken Pocket Rocket. I'm not sure if the vids are still floating around... but that shit was crazy.

last summer sesh 2 at HN we warmed up over there. its basically a massive drop off with lot of opportunity for a good jump/ but i think you needed to hike it back up cause it runs out. we threw some snowball down and it grew into a massive one at the bottom

We built a stepup on the windlip a few years ago and had to straightline from the top of the wall to clear it. It was scary and pretty fucking crazy.

man.. we hit the windlip for like 2 weeks in a row last summer (until the crevasses took it). in the summer there are kickers of all sizes. some set back like 50 feet from the knuckle.. some really steep so you go higher than you do long.. the one we hit was sooo perfect, and some asian snowboarders built it. we'd help them everyday, and we could slip the landing decently, and they'd get so stoked.

it's true about the footage of some lightweight snowboarders wailing the shit out of the windlip. I saw footy of these three boarders hitting that thing and literally looking like falling leaves, they went so big. It looked like they took it from the lip, about 160-180 feet down the hill. They spun, kind of out of control, ate shit at whatever point in their rotation they landed, but they were unharmed. It made Luke Schrab's backflips look average sized

Years and years ago, the windlip was where I did my first backflip ever. I still remember that day, good times.
