Alpental open AGAIN?

Haha, we talked to that guy for a little, and he was going balls out through the mogul's everywhere. Those look like amazing skis, I might have to buy a pair this summer to fulfill my rockered ski slot.

not on a chairlift, NEXT to a chairlift.
It needs a name, and maybe a less severe takeoff. Gnar Knuckle maybe?

Nice work on that jump guys! It was pretty sick. I walked it off and it was a true 70' if you make the downside. That's pretty big. Great shots too! Crazy half cabs man!
Could be called Chip's Gap since the drop in is below Chip's Couloir.

that's not me sean.
I think we need to actually make that jump a little closer and actually build it up more to give you more loft... the landing is really wacky, it would be nicer to have an actual downslope. Ah well, maybe next year.

I kind of agree. The other way to go is to look for a better spot to build a 70fter. There are plenty of options out there.
There certainly are. Stevens backcountry is dope too, I might have to do the double pass next year... if money allows.
Anyone have any ski plans next weekend?

ahhhhhh such a sick edit! you kids are so silly. i wish my knee wasnt so broken, otherwise i would have joined at least by playing photographer. i need to shoot more skiing, next year though, hopefully my body will allow for me to at least capture some sick shots if nothing else....
Did anybody else see the slide that covered the High T on sat. I got there right as it finished sliding, not deep enough for a burial but it ran fairly long, sketched me out a little as I had left my beacon at home. I saw most of you guys out there on sun I think but I was in the backcountry all day. Did anybody actually clear that large gap jump that was setup on sat, when we went by it looked like nobody had enough speed because the snow was so sticky. When the sun came out Stokes Bowl was really really nice and some other stuff out that way too, dont really know the names though, only skied alpental since stevens closed. If they're open next weekend I'll be there, if not I'll probably be skinng around stevens pass.

I really wish I knew of these places!
But ya, the jump you guys built did look pretty steep and sudden. It probably would have been better to make a nicer take off a little bit closer and actually be able to clear it and throw stuff easier.

here's all you have to do:
look at any spot on the mountain
use your imagination
that's it. that's all there is to it. no joke, any jib fantasy you've ever had can be fulfilled at alpental. i've long dreamed of hitting this one very special tree jib/stall/bonk. it has the nicest tranny, and i have never seen anything even close to it in any ski movie.
