    MSP Jump

    Been working on building these giant jumps for the MSP guys to hit.



    Construction started a month ago but then we got a 92" storm through early/mid May that put things on hold for a while



    Serious scramble to get er done!







    Uh yeah, they are giant and mandatory drift to hit landing

    So it came down to the hour of getting the jumps ready as the weather made a turn for the worse. We are in holding pattern waiting for a weather break and hopefully some mind blowing moves from Bobby, Gus and Russ...
    stay tuned!

    Very cool. Where is that?

    There was an MSP jump on Blackcomb for the last month of the season and I was blown away by the sheer enormity.

    They're not going to fly helicopters around it for their annual slow-motion sunset jibgasm are they?

    Probly save a bit of time if they dispensed with making it look as perfect as a wedding cake on all sides. It's just a [very big] jump.

    It looks like the same spot they had the last Alyeska jump session on. Presumably the intent is to re-create that, especially since there are now multiple people in that group with the ability to throw trips. And Bobby's are certainly more dialed.

    Yeah, but I think it looks kind of neat all polished up like that.
