does anyone know the highest a skier has ever boosted out of a pipe? like how to find the average in the X-games and then compare to how much bigger that is than snowboarders? its part of my persuasive speech and i just wanted some concrete facts

not that it matters, but i'm pretty sure it was a flair with a tail grab.

either candide or simon. candide did a flair on the first hit in 03 X games that was just rediculus. simon did huge 5s on the first hit in 04, 05, and 06 x games. skiers own the amplitude but snowboarders own switch tricks. most standard snowboard runs contain a cab ten. i am yet to see any skier throw a cab ten in the pipe.

dumont def. has the most reliable big air in the pipe usually around 20ft which is about 5-8 feet higher than the average snowboarder

i hope you're not trying to argue that skiiers are better at pipe than snowboarders because they can go higher...
