Just wondering if there is any forgotten footage or stories about this line. I couldn't find any segments on any VHS tapes from old ski films or in a online search.

I found Gunner Newquist's line. This was the guy I was thinking about. Not at Iron Curtain. https://snowbrains.com/video-skier-hucks-huge-100-foot-cliff-at-silverado-canyon-squaw-valley-ca/

Bruh. The article says he "crashes." On your ass is basically the only way to land something like that.

i spent years there and heard most of the stories and rumors and never heard of someone sending the iron curtain but who knows

my memory is hazy, that's pretty far down in the zone, isn't the landing pretty flat for such a big cliff band?

you 100% have to hot tub it. If you tried to land it you I'm pretty sure you would send your femurs through your skull lmao.... shit even spicket puts most people on their ass and thats 1/3 the size with a better landing.


Ive seen people in movies do it. I can't remember where though sadly. I think there was some on youtube? but that was ages ago the last time i saw it.
