It was only wide enough to do on one ski (Elizabeths) and the ski I lifted clipped a rock on the skier's left and sent me into the wall.
 
Hmmm... took Tye Rock, terrible takeoff to terrible landing, about 35 or so. Either that or catching my skis on this narrow treed chute under a lift and front flipping out of it without skis, landing on my feet and somehow managed to run down the rest of the slope without skis.
 
proably when i was skiing at

gore on a powder day

and my ski got cought in a tree branch

and i went flying into the fresh powder

 
i got to go to whistler blackcomb this winter. im not too good at snowboarding, but im not trying to impress anybody. I got to rip down some of the bowls on whistler and hit some of the deepest pow of my life (which isnt saying much, but it was up to my waiste). I also got to hit a nice 4ft drop wich i probably went about 7 ft off of, and just landing in this really deep powder.

best trip ever.
 
a really tight chute through the trees at mad river, or getting caught in my first slide(very small thankfully)

 
A Sick nasty 25 footer into some pow. I stuck it, but i hit crust after, and hurt myself. I twas pretty gnarly :(
 
Hrmm...

45 footer to flat maybe. That hurt, knee to face.

1.5 lincolns off the 2nd stage of a high speed double stager, clipped a rock.
 
Brecks Y chute and all the stuff u access off the Imperial Express on a powder day. and getting caught in some slough and getting pulled down the hill like 75yards thankfully no rocks
 
got bucked off a 2 kink and fell 4' onto my side onto solid ice and bruised the shit out of my hip and also bruised a lung. i was winded for like 4 hours and couldnt walk at a normal pace for like 12 hours and couldnt do hard physical activity for a week and a half
 
That's either some extreme sarcasm that I can't detect on the computer, or one of the most ignorant posts ever.
 
305 foot double, took it striaght on over the whoel thing and did a cool little shifty with my legs and landed in the best stomping snow ever. I didnt get much gnarly-ness in dur to a knee injury. Oh well, I've got next year.
 
The gnarliest thing I prob did this season was prob this little line on the cirque in snowbird. It really wasn't that challenging. Just a small drop into a really narrow, short chute, then slowing down really early to avoid straightlining bumps. heres some pics

Sorry I keep posting. Im not trying to post whore or anything, but does anyone have pics of that location, or the cirque on a good snow year. That was in mid-late march and the base was really low and I presume that little line is filled in a lot more. Im just curious to see what it looks like with a decent amount of snow.

Another note: dont say shit to me saying that isn't anything. I didn't have much of an opportunity to hit anythign better than that due to bad weahter, snow, closures, etc.
 
i was wondering the same thing

the gnarliest thing i did was a screamin seamam to face plant then i landed it the second time
 
Either:

Trying a 900 for the first time ever at USASA nationals, and doing it unnatural and actually landing it first try.

OR

doing the 180 and zero spin off the cliffs in the Hungry Sloth promo, both first try
 
That line is elevator. It fills in a bit more and gets wider, and a little less steep. That line is at its best with a low base (lower than we had mid-March), b/c it gets very narrow. Its a fun one cuz it looks scary, but its short enough that you can straightline out, and not worry about hitting stuff. Next time you get a shot at it, point it all the way through and try to open up some big carves, can be pretty fun.
 
Haha really thats sick! Ive only seen boarders hit that... As for me, my best trick had to be a 5 over a creek in the bc
