If youre talking about the 2nd dump of the last year that wasnt 4-5 ft...
It was cold sure but it did have a small bottom from the snow we got a bit earlier. 3 ft maybe but not 4-5 ft~

When i went to west coast session at Mt. Hood. After warming up with the smaller jumps in the medium park we head over to the big park. My friend drops first and i see him fly off the huge jump and i just knew that I could not back down. I drop, take the first jump with a straight air and know that this is going to be great. Coming up on the second jump I feel like i have the perfect amount of speed. I ride up the lip, pop, and fly. For what felt like 5 seconds i sat there flying before i even get close to the apex a great idea comes into my head, DAFFY! I kick in the air and fly for at least 15 more seconds. I then pull my legs together right before the landing and land right on the sweet spot. Ride away feeling like god.


I forgot to mention that it was the first time doing a 60 ft jump. And i was blazed

my first and only time at whistler, it dumped the whole week, and my buddy josh (boarder) and i were just throwing ourselves off of every little bump and cliff and jump into about 4 feet of pow, got to the bottom of the hill covered in pow, rode back up, did it again. crazy good week.

stopping on my favorite trail waist deep in pow with a shit-eating grin, and hearing or seeing no one because I-70 got shut down after a huge dump and no one makes it to the mountain but locals

Going up to the hill and having fun.  Pow or park, it was always fun.  The last day fucking sucked though.

I got 3rd chair after a 42 inch dump over here in bozeman last year. The snow was soo light and deep that i had to use my avalung cause i kept on getting so many faceshots. Complete ecstasy. I can comfortable say that was the single happiest moment of my entire life.

Yess, these are so sick we have them pretty much all year at my hill.

My favorite experiences would be skiing at night while it was snowing... very sick experience.
