How do you go for a cliff? How do you set up and do you pop at the edge or what?
Just the basics. What do you have to do to not eat shit?

check the landing if its good go for it must be fairly steep
pop pretty good if it is over 30 feet and you dont think you can stick it wait for more pow
start of with 5 to 10 footers

personally i never pop off cliffs unless i'm spinning off them, its a must to scope the landing and atleast know the type of terrain surrounding the area also. you never know when you will land on rocks and shit. I mean its hard to pop if there is alot of powder or loose snow on the lip, so just make sure you have enough speed and drop it

No reason to pop off cliffs if you're not throwing a trick.

Scope your landing before you huck it, then huck it. Land centered (or a tiny bit backseat if the pow is deep.) There is really nothing else to 'do.' Gravity does all the work for you. :)

Start with ten to fifteen footers on pow days, and then move up, remember, the bigger the hit, the steeper the landing needs to be or you will get a pretty good bang when you land. You don't necessarily need to pop, just carry speed off of it, and stay tucked up in the air. Good luck.

^50 feet for your first drop? That's quite large. I've dropped many a cliff, but never a 50 footer.

Anway to answer the question, carry alot of speed, more than you think you need. You don't really have to 'pop'- just enough to get your knees up. Keep your arms in front of you and your legs tucked while dropping to maintain balance. And extend your legs a bit to help absorb the impact.

Hope this helps-

^Agreed. SlipKnot-you ski at Bogus Basin right, is there even any drops of such magnitude at Bogus Basin?

Yeah, I have fallen off a 50 foot cliff accidentally, but never purposelly jumped something that big. Biggest I've done is maybe 30. You gotta remember though, usually you're moving forward and down, depending on the steepness of the landing, a 20 footer can easily feel like 30 or more.






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

i can say for sure that there are no cliffs at Bogus Basin that are 50 ft, 40ft. 30 ft would be pushing it. they didn't even get enough snow to drop a 50 footer last year

It wasnt Bogus it was at Jackson Hole and the only reason i did it is because my friend was calling me a fuckin pussy and all kinds of shit. I was felling so sick before i went off i cliff and after i was done felt like shit.

you dont need to be a pro to drop a big cliff. all you have to do is ski off of it it doesnt take extreme talent to ski off a ledge if you got the nuts enjoy! good luck with the landing aswell.

You just gotta scope it and go. My first one was 20-30. It took me a couple tries to land, but on my third, I nailed it.

point your fucking tips and go as fast as you can the bigger the cliff the better. if you are smoking fast off it it makes it easier to land and more painful if you fall. rock that shit out

I found a 25 footer up at Bogus this summer that is by chair 6 on the backside that i want to try. Everyone will be able to see me so I can show off To all the snowboarders. And i guess i forgot to tell you why i was up at Jackson Hole my friend sister had races that weekend and he asked if i wanted to go.

was it a 50ft drop or do you figger you flew 50ft, caus a 50ft rock face is absolutly insane, I know I'v been standing over some drops that look big and they feel big while your in the air but when I'v gone back and stood underneith or looked back up they'r only like 10footers. but yah 50ft is stupid, I think you are making stuff up in an attempt to make friends.
