There are three rocks you can link on upper bowl at skibowl. Off the the right of the chair and they get progressively bigger. Its as big as ive gone, i will try and find a picture
This one time I jumped the bottom pitch of my home mountain flew about 150 feet hit the ground so hard i broke my back and shit myself. I thought I'd prolapsed my cornhole. I was 14.
No pics but my craziest line was about a 10 ft cornice and then a cliff and the landing of the cliff was a chute you had to straight line out of. The part that made it so scary was you couldn't see your landing at all from above so you just had to commit and you had no idea how big the second drop was going to be. Ended up being 20ft or so but it got my heart pumping a bit
Probably my attempt at a 70 foot drop at Revelstoke on a day with almost 4 feet of blower pow. I landed, my back slammed against the ground/pow and just kinda bounced back up again.

Not the gnarliest line. But it ended my season in mid april 2013 when i blew a part both of my marker f10's on the crux. Two months later i was in hospital recovering from a serious hand injury, ending 2013/2014 before it even got started. 15 months later, i am still dealing with the thought of more surgery to try and re-inhibit active flex in the ring finger, by removing excess scar tissue/or fuse the PIP joint in a permanent 20/25% angle with internal k-wires/or plate and screws. Whatever happens, it will be 6/8 weeks recovery. The entire experience has been very difficult, but i will be thankful to be back on skis in early january.
It's not my gnarliest line ever but when I was 7 me and my friend Kyle use to just ski everywhere in a racer's tuck, so we were coming down a traverse back to the chairlift that we had never skied before and hit this blind lip at full speed ( not that fast considering we were little kids) but we both got major air. Kyle had a bit of a yard sale when he landed but I managed to hit the steel chairlift pylon dead on about 6ft off the ground and broke my helmet and goggles.
My dad was spitting mad and I didn't get to ski again until I had done enough chores for a new helmet.
Those were the days when you're young and your body is like rubber, wish it stayed like that.

I know these. I straight lined them in accident once and almost landed in trees. You done the chute off Tom dick peak?
the best lines are the ones you randomly find skiing new places on a pow day. Nothing like just stumbling upon a bunch of sweet drops that end up working out perfectly
