if you have seen the huge volcano looking thing of snow in 7th from harmony or symphony... that is a landing for jon olsson's jump. 110 feet, on the left side of the lift. should be sick.

Wow, I did not know it was 100+ feet. It looked like the gap was about 50ish from eyeballing it. Fucking sick looking though. Definitely built for doubles.

By the way today was fucking money up there. First tracks down lone pine = booyah!.

My buddy Yara took the photo, I'm assuming its for MSP? As per usual when they film late spring at W/B?

Now what do I win? :(

Somebody get some numbers on how much W/B $asks$ to build such a jump for the privileged few...

I bet it's a marketing write off, to use in there advertisements...

"Look we can build the perfect jump, but if your public then you can just overshoot the hutjump..." or something along those lines.

Of course it's a marketing expense. Exposure in some of the biggest movies of the year, this kind of shit, etc.

Just like how Warren Miller athletes don't pay for shit if they're on trips.

As of Thursday, it was still there, but had some sort of weird thing built on the takeoff so hitting it would be impossible.

If you could dig that roll on the takeoff out, all that stands between you and hopefully not casing that jump is a couple of bamboo poles. Have fun!

from what i say in other years is that they pile a bunch of snow on the takeoff with the cat so people can't hit it. all you have to do is shovel it off...

Liability issues would be through the roof... would probably have to be a waiver just for that jump.

There's another one out towards xhiggy's now, on cloud nine I think. Anybody no who that one was built for? It actually looks like its got a steeper take off than the other one.

i saw them working on that one saturday. It's way smaller, and has a much steeper landing.
I think the new one is in the exact spot last years was (in Push)
They had to put a mound of snow in front of the first one though. So huge.

I heard they already filmed on the 2nd one, the stepup. Some snowboard company, I forget the name. And someone got pretty badly hurt on it. Not sure if anyone else will be filming on it though.

Some pics posted in the park update if you haven't seen'em yet. Of the MSP jump that is. But the boarders hitting the step up on the weekend looked pretty sick too. Big floaty airs. https://www.newschoolers.com/web/content/parkupdates/pu_id/323/resort_id/4/
