You wanna know what it feels like to hit pyramid gap?

It's fucking scary. The inrun was probably the sketchiest part. Shortly after this a friend washed out on the compression and blew up all over the place. He sprained is ankle and is done skiing for the remainder of the season. It really put into perspective how gnarly some of the shit you see in the movies is.

are you kidding? it's not hard to know that utah has had half of its average snow fall this year which means the base is extremely thin. you know what the base is, right? that means there's not much snow covering the ground making this gap insanely more dangerous and stupid to hit. two reasons, 1. the in-run is not filled in making it insanely more sketchy and 2. the landing is much more exposed, with actual ground exposed on the landing (also notice those bushes sticking out of the ground?).

they're lucky none of them got seriously fucked up but if they do stupid shit like this all the time then it's only a matter of time. way to unnecessarily risk your health to straight-air a jump that's been hit by 100 people. but hey if that's your thing, go for it. it'll be entertainment to the rest of us regardless of what happens to you.
