One would hope conditions, my balls, and my ski partners would all line up in such a way that I did drop it.....but who knows.

As far as east coast, Sterling rock at Smuggs is about as classic as you can get. not at all huge though, 25-30 at MOST. kinda flat landing. the most exciting part is evading ski patrol. fuckin' ghey.

Big Sky has Stutzman's, and that diving board between Little and A chute(don't know the name). Never saw anyone hit it, but drooled over it frequently. Also kinda flat landing, need a big snow year for it.

Another Alta classic is Diving Board, directly under the Supreme lift. Plenty of harassment if you stand on top of that one.

Im sure this has been posted but it deserves a repost

**zartagen** · 08-19-2011, 05:13 PM

Holy shit, awesome thread! Bumping in hopes of winter coming faster.

**fivefourtwo** · 08-19-2011, 08:13 PM

This thread is pretty awesome. Have even had my turn on a few of these airs. Keep them coming!

**CMSIV** · 11-27-2011, 09:25 PM

Bumping thread back into the rotation.

don't have a pic, but eagle rock at Alyeska is a classic air that never gets hit

**tone capone** · 11-27-2011, 10:52 PM

unpossible, glad I watched that vid, thats one sick comp run. Can't believe someone can just ski away from a hit like that.

**TheDon** · 11-27-2011, 11:26 PM

This thread is SO great

**TheDon** · 11-27-2011, 11:36 PM

How is there not anything from the whole targee gully?

**buildakicker** · 11-27-2011, 11:45 PM

Good compilation Huckwheat! I'd like to add a couple to it... I love Chamber Cliff, Peter Line, Sacrifice... What about Treeboys and Huck Patterson's fav off Granite Peak? BoxAir in the Palisades is nice early season... The Drifter, China Icefall, Mr Chipper on a good year like last... What is the one near Oly Chair called? Linebacker Rock or something like that near slanty's? Fatter than Adrenaline and just as flat. lol

BTW: Hospital Air is ridiculous.

**raisingarizona13** · 11-28-2011, 03:05 AM

Me back in the day hitting Smart Bastard.

I guess we need to define "classic". (maybe that has already been done in thread, didnt go look back). Not trying to rain on parade, because I like your stoke level, and those are some EPIC airs. That said, many are obscure, hard to find, or just down right frightening.......I think some of those factors rule out Classic status.

--Linebacker - think called Simmons. Simmons was an ex NFL player who moved to Tahoe and hit lots of big drops. Think Mike Wilson did it last year......uggg, that thing looks brutal.--
--Dont know what Chuck P cliff you are talking about.
--Treeboys....that is a gem, pretty good little secret. But, for the record I deem its name Levitator......that is my write in Squawllywood name. We called it that for years.

This got me thinking........for the Squaw folks. It would be fun to have a Squawllywood Thread. If you have a picture of a cliff from Squawllywood, post it up with name (and could even give it a score). Would be like a living, breathing Squawllywood update.

Finally grew the balls to hop off this guy, been looking at it since I was 12 years old; now I just need to land it... Anybody know how big it ACTUALLY IS?
