I mean the conditions have to be perfect. There's a reason it hasn't been hit in 4 years, even by pros.

You have to deal with the local crews who are territorial.

You have to have some damn good jump building expertise and put in at least three full days just to build the jump.

You have to realize that coming up short may very well break your back.

And this is off the top of my head. I'm sure a Utah local could give you any even bigger list of reasons.

fuck that, we built and hit pyramid in the same day. chads is only 30 feet bigger. i would say a full day of building chads would be nice, but you dont have to deal with locals. and obviously there needs to be snow on the landing, but as long as its soft, thats all you need.

uppermost parking lot, opposite side of alta parking lot, then hike up to a few houses, go a little more past the houses, and go left. there should be a bootpack by know. and you cant miss chads, you walk right through it. go a little ways further and theres pyramid

Mark Frank is a pussy, My buddy Dean Deleone beat the shit out of him in Park City's Park two years ago(even though some snowboard publication said MFM won). he is a fake ass gangsta and is bad for all snow sports.

As for Grizzly Gulch; it is not hard to find just go to Alta and find it. To those of you who gave up the beta, shame on you. If this guy is serious about going up there, he could find someone to show him once he was at alta. But trust me dude, you want no part of Chad's. It is hugh and too much work, plus there is really good terrian to ski in Grizzly Gulch, so stay the fuck away.

The inrun is insanly hard to pack without a cat, not to mention if your physics are off just a bit you'll eat it. Mack Dawg is usually there when the conditions allow, and I can promise you that you won't be chilling with them.

That's pretty gay that locals would be pissed cause you wanna hit something. That's taking territory a little to seriously.

^dude, you put all that work into it, and some random kid who thinks hes all big comes and hits it. more likely than not, hes screwed, as well as the jump itself. plus, with all the liability shit going on, doesnt matter if YOU wont lead to it shutting down, but theyre taking the chance some little shit is gonn mess himself up and ruin it for those who desrve it

I'm talkin about if you've got the skill to hit something like that and you want to would they still get pissed off? I have no intention of hitting it I'm just curious.

chads gap isnt that big. why is it even named as a gap and well renowned. its stupid and the fall isnt that bad. if you short it, it isnt that bad of a landing.

i got in a car crash,got shot at,and attacked by a fucking bobcat. cross country is boring.

haha, such a bad idea for a lot of people to know where Chad's is. Just consider the fact that no snowboarder hit it until last year. Do you really think that you and your buddies are gonna just shovel a little booter, hike up there and jump it? Good luck.

Yeah dude im a local and I doubt I would try it any time soon. Its so fucking burly. And yeah dylhole was right it is only 30 feet longer than pyramid but pyramid is soooo much easier to hit, chads gap you hit a huge compression before you go off. Pyramid just sort of levels out for a while...still a compression but no where near the sorts you get at chads. There is no way you and your buddies are going to be able to hit it, I strongly suggest you just pick a new jump instead of wasting a few days out here trying to do chads.

haha, there is no way, you will see it and be like, how the fuck do they do this, not only the skiing part but the building part. you cant just go and shovel some snow and hit it, itll take you and your friends 2 days of biuld time, at least, and then you have to have the balls to hit. lol.

^^True. Seems to me that some people here don't know what they are talking about. Liability? Who the fuck is going to pay you a dime if you get hurt in the backcountry? NO ONE. Does anyone have legal reasons to be pissed if you are in a backcountry setting that they have no legitimate ownership of the property. Almost all backcountry is in public land.
