Jumping the liberty snowflex lodge

I've been checking it out liberty snowflex and I think someone needs to send it over the lodge asap

it Seems a little too perfect, the inrun, and the perfect down hill landing and all you need is a new jump. If geoppor doesn't send it I might Have to come up next summer and do it.

however cool it may seem, think about the logistics of that...

are they gonna build a jump out of snow flex for this? and if they do, you'd have to get an engineer to get all the angles correct. (can't just shape a snowflex jump)

and, I doubt the slope angle of the beginner area would be steep enough to catch a skier coming over the lodge... unless it's like a 600'ft gap (then landing wouldn't be long enough)... and you'd explode upon impact trying to gap 600' to snowflex. Then again I could just be totally full of shit and I'm just bitching about imaginative hypotheticals because I'm procrastinating at work...

Considering the size of the jump you'd need, the landing would be so flat I'd blow my sphincter out.

It's a 120ft gap. 380ft run in from the top of the jump line. only 90 feet of vertical drop....90 feet down over 380 ft of inrun for a 120 ft gap............ not possible.




but then you get the winch out and BOOM. you make the gap. you'd have to build a landing though.

I have been to Snowflex a few times. Not to be a buzzkill but there is no way in hell you could clear the lodge, even if you had the perfect jump. You just couldn't get enough speed on that hill. The picture makes the building look way smaller than it is in real life and that smaller area of Snowflex where you would hope to land is way too close to the building for you to land on, even if it wasn't almost flat. Even if you were able to get enough speed to clear the building you would land in the parking lot.

What if you went far skiers right, and instead of trying to go over the building, you just tried to clear that part of the deck / stairs, etc?

I'd imagine this is slower than you'd think too.... so a winch and/or ATV tow-in likely necessary.

Well we've already determined everyone sends jumps huge when they don't have clothes on, so just do it naked and speed won't be an issue.

I'm in no way an expert with guessing size, but I'd say you'd be dropping over 65 feet to almost flat. If you built a proper landing (probably needs to be about 40 feet taller to get a good angle) the jump would still have to be about 110-120 ft long as the building looks about 70 ft wide. You'd likely need a 40 foot tall jump too if you plan on going over the tallest part. A tow-in would be necessary.

*Not even a joke*

Since reading this thread earlier, we've met with our engineers and we've developed the perfect angles for both the in-run, the jump, and the landing. The math works out, the gap is possible, however, as many of you all have pointed out the speed is a concern so we will use a high powered winch similar to system 2.0 for wake boarding. Just a heads up, our engineers have said due to friction of the base that the only way it is humanly possible would be for a snowboarder. . .

*Sarcasm implied*

Thanks for the laugh though.

I'm going to just pretend like the last part isn't there and say lets go ahead with this project.

However, we will have one skier and one snowboarder, and whoever clears the gap wins.

Dumont had a downhill tow-in and he cleared his jump...This is possible!

I think Bishop is onto something...If you hit it far right you could set it up like a gnarly step down, then the landing wouldn't have to be as steep to save your knees...all you need is a can do attitude and a willingness to go the the guchi plateau

You can see it right? Especially since you'd have to build a custom jump, you could build it out a little further. Not going over the roof is the only way that landing wouldn't kill you.

Have some guy on a dirt bike two the skier in, you'd totally have enough speed. You could even have the dirt biker send it as well

Putting something that slides better on a large part of the inrun to gain some speed is always doable.

The only issue I can see with it, is dropping from far right as mentioned before, it's where the jump line is. So like you would have to drop, air a jump/ the knuckle and then continue to the actual jump to send it. But maybe that would work.

how fast is the snowflex? Is there even close to enough speed to slightly dream about this?

The right person could definitely get enough speed. Just wait until the sun goes down and the surface would be way faster.

this seems like it could work, but i think skiers would land a bit skiers right of the landing area.

Whoever does it first gets the gap named after them.

So it'd be "How do you get to the bottom of _________'s gap from the bottom of Liberty?"
