Just posted some pics fist and then I forgot about it until I started skiing again

[kush1]

ahhhhhhhhhhh.......

Skier666, LPH, arty and the rest of the crew will be able to name them alll of f for you at soem point

[G]

Nobody has gotten around to naming them yet, they're just the start of some beginner run.

[Arty50]

The line on the left of the pic is one of 666's favorites. So we'll let him name it. It's in between Little Jim's proper and Ski School chute. The second one from the left is just looker's right of Little Jim's. The other two have names that I'm forgetting right now. And that big sucker to the right of the rightmost line is Big Jim's. Some crazy asshole aired that damn thing with speed in "the Swarm."

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I named some of the lines and re-uploaded the pic.

Left to right:
First line is Eraser Chute. Just to out of view to looker's left of this line is a mellower little chute called Ski School Chute. It's called Eraser chute to keep with the theme of its Ski School neighbor, but because this line is always very chocolate chippy & exposed, pretty darned steep....you get erased if you F up .

Next over is Little Jim's. Kinda hard to land exactly where you drew it though. People generally land much closer to the rocks. People either make one hop turn onto the little snow shelf above the rocks before dropping, or sometimes people just air the whole thing. I've seen people literally get pushed by their friends when trying to air the whole thing because its tough to get any speed at the top.

Next huck over is Slim Jim's. So called because it's in the middle of Big and Little Jim's and well, just look at it...it's slim . It's usually un-doable early season because the take off at the top is usually all rock, but it fills in soon enough. Super flat landing, unless you drop very close to the rocks. Someone hucks this in last year's Omen Productions movie Ah-mig-dah-la.

I don't know the names of the two lines to the left and right of Slim Jim's...I just hear people refer to both of these collecitvely as the Jim Chutes....but they might have their own names...I'm not sure.

And lastly, the biggest hunk of rock on the right is Big Jim's. Our own skier666 hucks this in spring mush in the Swarm after skating along the traverse on top and just launched. He's not right in the head. Most people just wait for about a 3 feet storm and acid drop the fugger to hot-tub landing.

Fun area because the lines are short and there's a clean runout with little consequence if you fall. Plus there's lots of variations in here.


Anyone know who the hell this "Jim" guy was?

by Febuary, the rightmost two fill in enough that they're a non-issue.

Yeah, but they can be fun early season with or without turns. Got a couple of good runs out of them Oct 30 and Nov 27.

[runethechamp]

Thanks for the info btw

Thanks. That's really helpful.

[Arty50]

Thanks. That's really helpful.

Always here to help. I should have put a winky face after the last sentence. I was trying to be cryptic until Ty ruined it for me.

[slim]

I'm going to hit Slim Jim's so huge that they're going to rename it Slim's.

Jeebus. I've seen that line in person, and wouldn't want to touch it no matter how much snow there was, nor how soft.
I won't even ask if he stuck it (did he?), but was he OK?

[Telenater]

but was he OK?

That's a relative term.

[Arty50]

I won't even ask if he stuck it (did he?)

I haven't seen it yet, but from what I understand...yes.

Champ picture. When is it from?

[skier666]

....Those names are funny, I've skied there my whole life and never heard of "Eraser Chute"....but it makes damn sense with your editorial on it. It also turns into a cliff with more snow...edit...it gets erased. I'll look for some pics when I get home.

Ski School, I call it over hang chute. All the others, I just call it Big Jims area.

There is another chute you can't see from the pic that is pretty fun...usually a straight line with an ollie in the middle....never heard a name before.

And then of-course Upper Cham..which is cut-off in the extreme left-hand corner of the pic:

....into Lower Cham...which is blocked by "Skier's Right of Lower Cham"...or "Upper Oops and Poops"....

Here's a view looking from Jims:

Fucking fun area to ski....north facing, never gets sun until late spring, accessed by a quad but gets rarely skied...technical fun shit.

But don't forget the BC....

Champ picture. When is it from?

I’ll let SP give the official date and details, but I think the pic was snapped 3 or 4 years after a truly epic storm cycle… 6 of 8 feet or something like that.

Oh, everyone who skis Kirkwood operates from a different map, don’t expect anyone else to use the same names. Example, it is Eraser Face, not Eraser Chute… hell, it isn’t even a fucking chute.

[Vets]

Here are a couple of pictures looking down from Eraser Face:

[runethechamp]

I don't want to argue too much about this, but it seems like there are pictures of two different eraser faces here... The pictures Vets posted look like they are in the same location as in Tyrone's pictures, but the one from Skier666 looks like something completely different. Whatever, cool pictures, gotta make sure to check out the spots next time.

[skier666]

Same area...I'm airing just looker's right of it.

If you look closely, you will see the chocolate chips barely sticking out of the snow...and Ski School chute is buried by the snow...its gone.
