It was 19 meters....just under 60ft. If they reshaped the takeoff and made it poppier, that easily could have been taken 80ft. plus. Watch the edits again, and you'll see that a few ladies sent that thing deep as shit.

Would it have been optimal for a male big-air? No, not at all, but that shit wasn't much smaller—if at all—than the city/scaffold big-airs. It would've worked well enough that people could've done some ill shit and gotten footy, that's for sure.

This is all assuming of course that the gal's jump wasn't plowed immediately following...which I assume it probably was...

Pretty sure it's not a joke, all of Europe's had an awful season for snow..... Moving to america would be too expensive this late on and would kinda take away from the event really, it's one of Europe's signature events and should stay here (haters gonna hate). Hopefully it'll be back next year, possibly earlier in the season.

most likely 19 meters from lip to sweet spot...which equals about a true 50 ft jump.

It looks like it was essentially the size of the "big jump" in an average mtns park.



And why would they plow the jump after its built, assuming the area isnt used for summer park?

^i think the jump was built on an area of public slope, not a park, so when the event was over they had to get rid of the jump so the punters could ski the flat again...... sucks

wow thank you professor, but I need a little after class help; normally do you measure a jump to the sweet spot or the knuckle?

if they've been getting bad snow for a while, that was a dumb move to plow that thing. bet they won't make that mistake again
