Small hill, big jump.

Out of all places to have a larger jump, Apple Mountain (the 200ft. bump) has one. Its 40ft.-45ft. as measured by me. It is a step-down. Only one problem is that the landing is way to mello. The landing needs to be twice as steep.

^very common problem among midwest ex-landfills...no steepness=either super short landings that are kinda steep, or long ones that are way too mellow

apple mountain is the gayest fucking place ever. They've had big jumps before but the takeoff is always terrible or the landing is terrible. Most of the time its both. The few times they've had good jumps the ski patrol just closes them.
