I've always belived that leviathan gap was the one pep and boyd crashed on in 1242. But the one from above is totally different so then what is the jump pep and boyd did?

The jump in 1242 was some huge gap they found in Switzerland or something. I think they mention it in the director voice over or something, watch it on the DVD.


I've done some research as well on Leviathan, and apparently its 145 feet to clear it, as compared to Chads modest 120 and pyramids measly 90. Its in the same area as pyramid and chads, but requires a bit more hiking to get to, leading to the assumption its up Grizzly Gulch further.

That picture might or might not be the gap itself. I've never seen that picture difinitevly labled as Leviathan gap, but it could be. The distance seems about right. If you want to see that gap being cleared, watch Kris Ostness's film Tee-Time. The only copy i have of that is really bad quality, really washed out, but people have thrown down on that jump. Some guy clears it doing a single back, a double backflip and then goes for a insane triple, and completely destroys himself.


Tee-time also has some interesting vintage newschooling footage. Many of the gaps you see in that movie are once again in Teddy Bear Crisis, and its interesting to see how far the sport has evolved. It also has Chris Collins ( I believe) attempt to do a triple backflip over chads gap... which is disasterous, he lands on his neck and pancakes.

So who would know about Leviathan gap? The Collins brothers I guess, or some other alta BC skiers. Ask them if you see them I guess.

I measured it to be 130 feet to clear, but because its a really low resolution picture, my estimate is probably off give or take 20 feet. In Tee Time they usually land about 30 feet down the landing.

More likely the dictionary: "Something unusually large of its kind"

Nope. There were a bunch of misinformed people on this site calling it "Levinthal", like Jason Levinthal of Line Skis, though.
