Newschoolers chads gap session 2022

[Notaskibum]

I know theres no snow right now, but come late March / early April I'm putting together a crew of nsers and we're gonna build a kicker and hit this bad boy.

Yes the biggest jump I've ever hit is like 40 ft and yes I'm bad at skiing but it's my last year on my parents health insurance and I upped my life insurance policy so if I'm gonna die now is the time.

Who all's coming with?

Still gotta a couple years on the parents insurance but have no dependants so if I die its NBD. I'll see what my mental state is come March and let you know.

 

[ASAPCarter]

Idk if I’m hitting that shit but I’ll drive out for the occasion anyways

 

[Notaskibum]

[mrk127]

[armchair_skier]

Dying at Chad's is an NBD I think. Send it bro.

 

[hoodratz47]

You're gonna have to fight marc frank......

 

[BrightFrog]

it’s not gonna snow this year

 

[keagan.karstens]

Count me in

 

[Young_patty]

I’ll be there to yell “he’s got broken ankles!” When you inevitably break your ankles.

 

[Skiblade420]

This is sick

 

[dognuts]

but how are we going to get to chads gap from the bottom of alta??

 

[Pilsby]

if i didnt live in canada i would be there

 

[JAHn]

You have no clue.

You can’t just go and hit Chad’s.

I mean the conditions have to be perfect. There’s a reason it hasn’t been hit in 4 years, even by the pros.

You have to deal with the local crews who are territorial.

You have to have some damn good jump building expertise and put in at least 3 full days just to build the jump.

You have to realize that coming up short may very well break your back.

And this is off the top of my head. I’m sure a Utah local could give you an even bigger list of reasons.

And besides…Ski Patrol blew it up.

 

[SmokedGouda]

I’ll go ski up the landing so you land into moguls. Just kidding. I would never. Besides, it was blown up. Didn’t you hear?

 

[hdubs]

If it's during my spring break I'm there

 

[ReturnToMonkey]

Hoo hoo haa

I'm aware of all these issues... That's why I made the thread now so I can plan and strategize.

 

[faber-castell]

we all die at some point. Might as well go out to something dope like shorting chads gap

 

[Quaggy]

I'll drive from Oregon if this is an actual thing.

 

[weastcoat]

 

[SavageBiff]

You need someone to spend a day building that jump u lmk a week ahead I’ll be there and I’ll show ya where it was

does anyone have Wasatch mountain rescue's number, asking for a friend?

Idk seems like a good crew for jump building. Any other Utah homies who are familiar with the jump? Any photographers?

 

[SavageBiff]

I got a hero 8 people can use and I’d do my best to get shots but I’m noob filmer

I've hiked up there a few times this summer. It's absolutely fucked in person. I don't think footage does it any justice honestly.

 

[Jibber1.3]

Don't worry guys it's on google maps now:https://goo.gl/maps/xMmg1btvj8JTHHQj9

 

[.squirrely.]

I’ll buy your alta parking reservation if a chad’s attempt is guarenteed

 

[ColeFoodz]

If I’m in Utah at the time I’d love to help build and maybe just look at it

 

[slothking]

Google seems to think that Chad's gap is a business I own sometimes so I think that means I have to be there

 

[betz]

Don't worry guys it's on google maps now:https://goo.gl/maps/xMmg1btvj8JTHHQj9

But how do I get there from the base of Alta?

 

[Thegenericskier]

Sounds fun I’m down

 

[cydwhit]

Holler, I can come take pictures and draw comics about you.

 

[Renegade14]

I'm in. We should find someone with a radar gun, there's a NS article from a few years back that says we've gotta hit 53-54 mph to make it over https://www.newschoolers.com/search?s=the+story+of+chad%27s+gap+with+brent+benson

 

[GayWolf420]

Storm Alta and Chad's Gap. They can't stop all of us.

 

[mrk127]

Would hitting it on snowblades be a world’s first?

 

[hdubs]

I got a hero 8 people can use and I’d do my best to get shots but I’m noob filmer

Same we can get a few different angles

 

[JAHn]

I'm aware of all these issues... That's why I made the thread now so I can plan and strategize.

Just consider the fact that no snowboarder hit it until last year. Do you really think that you and your buddies are gonna just shovel a little booter, hike up there and jump it? Good luck.

 

[SNOW_WHITING]

does anyone have Wasatch mountain rescue's number, asking for a friend?

I know a bunch of wasatch patrollers, I’ll ask around

 

[SNOW_WHITING]

This is such a rowdy idea, I’m down

this is just not true, travis rice hit it in like 2012

 

[Notaskibum]

now this just wont work, idt you can even get that fast on blades?

 

[DesertStix]

Damn who called the fun police?

Imagine the look on the local crews face when 20 rando’s from NS show up with old GoPros requesting directions from Alta’s parking lot just to absolutely break themselves off.

[Flynnski]

We need an east coast equivalent

NS right of passage. All dedicated NS’ers must read the OG Chad’s gap thread.

I hope OP can deliver once again in 2022.

 

[Canis_lupus]
