Cats.Probably like 80 feet. According to Seth Morrison, ~70 feet is about the point where you should expect to crater instead of stomp. But considering various factors will affect that (momentum, trajectory, landing slope angle, slow conditions...) that will obviously vary substantially.
This is probably one of the biggest stomped clean and TGR claims it is 80 feet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1kJJaORYHg
Yeah he backslapped but still a clean stomp imo

Is one of the biggest i have seen,
codizzleHugo Harrison and Seth Morrison are definitely up there, but I gotta think that Sean Pettit may have it, too. He stomps the crap out of enormous cliffs.
dan4060I agree with these guys. Hoji stomps some big ones too. Kent Kreitler back in the day. In The Prophecy, TGR back in 2002 or so, he stomps a double stager where the first is about 25 feet. It requires sticking the landing in a billygoat fashion and then hitting the second air, not just pointing both stages. A 25 foot billygoat drop takes phenomenal control, you have to be a great skier to do that, it was one of the things McConkey was insane at. The second air in Kreitler's line was about 60 feet and he stuck it clean. It is one of the best lines I have ever seen and I think it got best line at the powder awards that year. Stuff like that is timeless, it is very hard to progress that type of big mountain skiing. If you guys get to watch Kreitler's segment in The Prophecy do so, it is incredible and would fit in well in the movies today.
dan4060Check this out. Cody Townsend rips a crazy line on top of a huge cliff then stomps cleanly one of the biggest airs I have ever seen. Mike Douglass, who would know, called it one of the best lines ever put down in Alaska.

MSP used this footage in the way I see it, but I wish they had just put this, and part one in the movie, as it is better than what they had, even though what they had was sick. Henrik also stomps a 50 foot 360 off a spine, which is just nuts.
Here is part one, which is also a great watch.

This freeski TV segment is some of my all-time favorite footage. It is true big mountain domination. Enjoy.
blargishHow bout Kristofer Turdell's line at the FWT this year in Vallnord arcalis. That has got to be one of the cleanest stomps I've ever seen
