To find the actual size of east coast jumps you take how big they say it is and times it by .7. So a 70 foot jump is in reality 49 feet.

ok.... where is a jump measured from the lip to the knuckle or to the sweet spot? or is it measured from toe of ramp to the toe of the landing or is it measured from.... lets put this to rest because the physical distance of 35' lip to knuckle is likely a 40'+ flight/jump

i am saying in from the top of the lip to start of the knuckle. All of these kids claim 80' jumps, compared to say Breck they are much smaller. Breck's jumps were not over 60 feet this year, though they did pop you high.

agreed however, I saw plenty of jumps 80' long on those same 60' jumps. ;)

it was not 90.. close to 80(mt snow claimed) and it boosted you high.. saw a boarder cork 540 to knuckle on it.. not a good scene. they didnt have it last year due to lack of snow. Stratton boasts 65ft every year.. and they usually come through. Killington's final jump was maybe 45-50ft last year but tossed you.
