article references Ski Sundown's YouTube channel.. anybody have a URL for it? i find tons of ski sundown videos on YT but can't seem to find their official channel. The link on their website looks to be just a general search on YT.

The Register Citizen might not have their facts straight

"Ski Sundown owner Channing Murdock testified toward the end of the day, Wednesday."

I saw that too. Murdock was the one who revived the place in the late 60's, but I thought he sold it to Carter (who had been running it for him) in the 70's. Maybe Murdock still has some stake in it though?

Serious question - does anyone have a picture of this jump or video?

I think I do from 09 S7. Give me a few mins to put it up online.

LOL. Not busting on you, but I find it humorous that you need to preface your questions with "serious question."

 

[SkiDork]

Pardon the crappy video. This was when Iceman had entered the slopestyle portion of S7. I think its the 2nd one (which seemed to be the biggest on there)

That wouldn't be the jump in question, I don't think. That's on Stinger, what I've read says Exhibition, where they have the learning bumps now.

oh, oops. OK ignore my video... Sorry.

This is from Feb 2008, but that's 2 years after the incident in question:

I don't think so... he said he cut across 3 trails to get to the jump. That would mean crossing over to where Stinger meets Exhibition. I don't believe they've ever had a jump on the beginner side of Ex.

i read he cross over trails to get to the jump so i believe he skied exhibiton but cut over to catch the big jump at the bottom of stinger. this assumes a similar layout in 2006 as i've seen the past few years but i have no memory of 2006 season (i don't think i even skied there in 2006)

 

[SkiDork]

so it the video I put up correct then?

 

[severine]

That's the same area my photos are from. It makes sense. I didn't ski there in 2006--that winter I only managed 1 day with a 6-month old--but I know in 2004 there was not a jump on the beginner side of Ex, nor have I ever seen one since.

I believe they are correct Mondeo. Exhibition covers the whole width of the bottom, including below Stinger. To me it sounded like he came down one of the intermediate trails and then traversed over Exhibition to the bottom of Stinger to hit the jump that he had seen from the lift on previous rides.

It's hard to say exactly what type of jump they had setup then. It most certainly was not exactly the same as 2008 or 2010.

it changes during the season, let alone from year to year. the gap jump style from the comp wasn't there this year at the end of the season when i finally go up nerve to hit it (doubt i'd have tried the gap jump at all!)

Exactly. Without pictures from that day in 2006 it's hard to say what the jump that he hit looked like.

maybe we could rely on expert testemony

It looked safe from the chair, but dangerous when upside down in the air over it.

That was Icemans' first gap jump. When he first saw them he was saying to me "theres now way I can do that" I told him it was OK if he wanted to skip it. But he took it upon himself to work up the courage to do it. Since then he does them all the time.
