It truly is a monster of the backcountry. Estimates regarding the distance of the gap vary in the range of approximately 150-165 feet but one thing is for certain, it's fucking huge.
Not much is known about this gap besides that it is nestled in the Little Cottonwood Canyon, found in the Wasatch mountain range between Salt Lake City and Park City, also home to a few of the most famous backcountry jumps in skiing that get progressively larger as you go up the canyon; Pyramid's (90 feet), Chad's (~120 feet), then Leviathan. Very few people have attempted to hit the gap due to the immense run-in needed, fierce compression on the lip of the jump, and relatively flat landing.
It is unknown if anyone has ever successfully landed the gap.
