I definatly wouldn't where it's at right now. But I'd love to help build it, and hang out, and watch people hit it. I love that type of stuff. Or if we built a seperate jump like 50-60 ft. from the landing, then it would be sweet to hit. But would ruin the pics of the real one

^you are sooo hard, do they call you oak or steel? don't be a prick man...seriously there are lots of kids who could nail chad's...nick (calskierx) could and WOULD do it if i didn't have a little kid i would. those bruvas from montana just straight showed all of you utah boys up, no talk, pure walk and no life flight either. most of the best skiers in the world aren't pro, in magazines, movies, etc. they just go out and rip, then go home. nobody knows them but they can be found all around the world.

The biggest I've hit was maybe 50ft? (At killy last january, i don't even know if the jump was that big) but I'd def not do chad's. A better question for ns would be pyramid

i'd def. do pyramid, so i'd do that first and if i built up the cajones maybe i'd check out chad's, but i def. wouldn't hit chad's without experiencing pyramid gap

not to be a shit-talker, but if guys like sage built the jump up to it, and the landing is sooo huge, i'd give it a try if I was there, and a ton of people were going off on it. 60 foot jumps are pretty comfy for me, and witha decent lip, it would be worth it.

we have an 80-foot jump at my hill, so i think i could sack up and go 10 feet more for Pyramid. Chad's on the other hand... i couldn't say.

I've spun off of 80 footers, and there's almost no way i would even think about it.
Landing in powder is so different than landing in a park, so never mind the inrun or the speed and distance, but landing in powder, going that fast and huge, would be intense.

if there were people there who knew how much speed to get and i saw them go off it first, i would most likely hit pyramid. I would only hit chads after hitting pyramid for a couple days because that is a LONG ASS TIME to be in the air

I dont think people understand how much of a difference there is between hitting a 75 or even 90 footer for that matter in a maintained (by snowcats i may add) with massive inruns and perfect trannys. Chad's gap is NOT maintained by alta and was not built specifically so that we could throw our selves off it...even Pyrimids, yeah it may be a couple feet longer or bigger then the money booter at your home mountain, but there is a huge difference between the two...now i am not doubting anyones ability, but just because you hit a 90 footer at your home mountan, doesnt mean or necessairly guarntee shit, and the only way to prov eit is actually check it out in life...
