Chad's was my first thought too, of course, but... even the first response – which included
the Red Ledge in Quebec – added something to consider.
And the Wasatch has more... Jamie Pierre (shred in peace) did a front flip over the Leviathan Gap,
which is some 145 ft = bigger than Chad's. The landing is in the upper right corner of the pic below (which isn't happy to be embedded...).
And then there's Riksgränsen, in the very north of Sweden, where Jan Aikio dropped in at a snowboarding event; the same where Ingmar Backman did the world's highest air – rumors say that Aikio's jump (which made it onto the cover of Powder that year; pic below) was just as high or even higher. And this was in 1996. At that time a legend like Mike Wilson was only 10 y o.
So... there should be more - even though my first thought was exactly the same as yours!
Gotta throw in Corbets couloir. Maybe not freeskiing specific, but definitely one of the iconic spots of skiing as a whole. Your balls don't legally drop till you hit it yourself.
