X-Games mega ramp style setup for skiing?

If you think about it, this is a pretty cool concept for big air tricks. A big air jump into a massive quarter pipe. This is something I could totally see in something like JOI or Candide Invitational...
 
I'm talking like a massive jump and massive quarter pipe though... Like the JOI jump followed by Candides quarterpipe.
 
Ok I understand that there are a bunch of jump to quarterpipe setups but I'm talking like the JOI jump directly into the 30' Candide quarterpipe. And just those two features as a big air comp. It could be interesting.
 
that would be sooo dope. X games would make it legit too.

It would be cool if they had:

slopestyle

big air

halfpipe

just like in the summer
 
that occured to me when i was watching. but think how much snow you would need-- golly jee moses!
 
i think it would be dope, i also think skiing needs more best trick rail comps though, with reall unique innovative setups that allow tons of trickery.
 
wow, i thought of the exact same thing too. that would be a so dope, and skiers would go so huge off it too
 
pretty sure it would blow if the x games put it on... considering they cant even get good sized jumps for the slope style....
 
the quarter in big air bmx and skate is really just so you slow down but if they did it where both jumps count in skiing youd see steezy stylish moves on the gap and then you would have more tech pipe moves i suppose
 
Yeah that would be dope. The only thing is, is I don't know if people would go as big off the first jump, since then they have to hit the quarterpipe.(example: switch landings, they would lose some speed when they have to revert...unless they hit quarterpipe switch, which would be ridiculous)
 
have you ever fell that far before and landed on flat, hard, groomed snow? i have and it broke my back in two places and broke a rib. you make it sound like landing on snow would be like landing on a pile of pillows. at that height, what you're landing on- if it's going to be flat and hard- makes little difference. no matter what, you're fucked.
 
...kinda like high north? stepover to qp?? anybody?? it's definately doable...i dont see where you guys would see the snow problem.
 
haha yea tahts mega ultimate. that x games jump is pretty big even by skiing standards. its like 50 feet right?
 
If they only scored the gap, jake would have won. hence, they judge both. jake should have won either way anyway.
 
okay well how about when matt hoffman did a nice trick on the jump and a bad QP air? and the announcers were bitchin about the QP air and about how he is not going to get a good score because of that?
