Chads Inrun

A_Whelan · 2006-02-08 14:44:20

Hey First thing first, I know what the search bar is and it didn't help. Now to the question. I've heard you hit about 60 mph before you launch off of chads, so that got me thinking, how long/steep is the inrun? Do they get a skidoo tow in or is it just fast? -aaron

from what you can see in pictures, the inrun is a little shorter than the gap. and it's fairly steep. course, it changes every time somebody builds a new one.

Yah that does look steep, but how long is it? It still must be a fair length to get up to 60mph, unless your going slower when you hit it.

Chads you actually have to go 54mph to clear it, 60 and you would overshoot a little. When the snowboarders hit it last year, they had to bring a groomer up to make the inrun and it was 1 mile long. They did that because as everyone knows its harder to get speed on a snowboard. So im guessing the skiing inrun was 3/4-1 mile long.

When Candide, the Collins bros and PYL hit it in Tee Time, the inrun was on the other side of the trees closest to jump (skiers left).

In TBC though, it was the way you've drawn it.

Cool pic. Could the inrun (red line) start higher up or would that just be useless. Also do you think you could carve a giant hip out of the landing and cut a tree or two down and have the aqua line as the inrun? I dout anyone would do it, or if you would get enough speed.
