Any Bozeman homies want to hike up to north bowl and build up the John? Normally I do it about this time of year but don't have the same people in town now. We can make 'er a beast and the landing is super long. Hmu I'm tryna go soon

The jump kind of below DRCS. It's on the north side of the little ridge the mogul course is on at Bridger Lift. Usually it's kinda small so I want to make it much bigger and build a proper in-run.
I want to make the jump wider and in-run much better than last year:

Why not hit the whale? The john is a classic, but the landing is actually flat and the inrun is huge.

The landing is not that flat though? Or else my buddy and I would've been seriously hurt from those crashes. The whale is good but the landing is like 5 times shorter in length and the inrun is basically the same. Plus that'd mean we have to hike all the way across the bowl, a whole extra 500 yards! That's too much man.

Sorry, to me the john is the roller in the flats below that and you bomb from top of bronco, you're talking about the hillside which is cool too.
