I dont think anyone else has the balls other than Jen so far. Its a pretty demanding and conditions dependant air.

You gotta know your gonna stomp the shit outta it, otherwise you shouldnt be up there at all.

What's the "Air Jordan" (I'm assuming it's done on skis) and where is it, and who did what?

Its a bigg ass 25 to 45 ft double stager cliff that is in plain view of the peak chair line up...Super Hollywood, but something that only like 2% of the mountains skiers could actually hit. Its big and ballsy. anyone got a photo or video?

In Stimulus from last year, Ian MacIntosh stomps the shit outta it.

In the front line someone jumps the first and 360's the lower one but gets buckled on the landing. I wanna do it but I'm scared of messing up the first and rolling of the second one

Its a sick line because in between is a tiny little patch were you can't even turn on itits just one big straight line and the landing is bad on the second jump. You need a lot of snow for it too. It would be sick if omeone cleared the entire thing in one jump but I don't think its possible. By the way does anyone know the name of the chute under the peak chair that you see from the lift??

There's a thread about Jamie Pierre clearing the whole thing I think. It should be lurking around somewhere in the ski gabber.

is it a 25 (1. hit) to a 45 (2. hit) foot double stager or are both of them between 25 and 45 high?

i have never seen them, but something like 8 meters to 15 meters isnt scaring the shit out of me. i am not sure if i would hit it, but for a pro it shouldnt be that hard.
ok double stager, but come on.

That was Ryan Oakden

That dude has hit it with so much style so many times. HEll Treadway goes out and does that for his warm up lap on most pow days.

Heres a pic of it posted yesterday by TeamCuervo.
AJ..
In this dudes line neither look 45 ft to me.  I guess it all depends on snow, your line, and your speed cuz you could send a lot farther with speed.  Either way it looks sick and props to this guy for "stomping the shit out of aj" as said in the description!

That wasn't me in that photo, thats a friend of mine from monday, I hit it today, and took it straight, and hit the bigger part of the bottom cliff. Probably 10-15ft bigger than the boyssss. I landed out of frame in the corner more or less. Fuck turning, turning seemed scarier that just pointing it.
