Chads Gap Dream Team

If you had the chance to put together a line-up of 5 skiers to hit Chad's Gap for a film segment, who would they be? And it needs to be skiers that actually have the balls/talent to commit and conquer such a feat. Mine would be:

Candide Thovex
Sammy Carlson
Sage Cattabriga
Mike Wilson
Wiley Miller

Who would you like to see hit it? Imagine filming from the heli, RED cameras, the whole shabang.

Also, I would really like to see a film company put out a Chad's Gap session in a movie from this upcoming season. I don't know why anyone hasn't yet with all of the progression going on...

I love P White and Logan, but I don't know if they'd be able to step up to that.

Think about how fucking sick that would be if that literally happened in real life though. My head would explode.

Candide

Pep

Bentchetler

Pettit

Travis Rice (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he is a snowboarder, but how many of you remember busting a nut to his segment in 'Pop', the one with 'Float On' by Modest Mouse where he throws all sorts of double rodeo magic on Chads...yeah you know that you want T Rice on your dream team)

But if I had to have an all skier team I'd put Sammy in there in T Rice's spot

Nope. Tanner and Jon went to hit it that time with hitting it switch in mind and no one's done it since as far as I know. The only shots we've seen of Jon on there are that head ad hkn posted in this thread, and I think a big spread eagle during the credits of tbc. I remember hearing that he got super close to landing sw misty 9 a couple times (and that video shows he was obv close) but didn't stick it before tanner's incident and (so I've heard) they left all his shots out of tbc so as not to take away from tanner's shots, both the stomps and the fall.

I'd love to see his shots tho, and ideally an account of the whole trip from his point of view. Poor guy had that whole thing plus was there to watch dumont sail a thousand feet to flats that same year, dude must've been shook!

I think some of you kids are way out of touch here. People like Casabon, Wesson, Parry, Compton, P White, and Chris Logan would not be able to hit Chad's Gap. As I previously stated, I love watching these guys ski and I respect them in their own aspect of the sport, but some of you children have to pull your heads out of the tainted ass of park skiing for once in your fucking lives. I realize some of the posts were trolls, but a good amount probably were not. Stop ruining this thread.

And there's no chance in hell that T-Hall would be able to hit it at this point in his career. Definitely 8 years ago when he was full o' piss and vinegar, but not now.

They've hit some super large park jumps and some decently sized BC booters, but I don't know if that can compare to Chad's, sorry.
