Title says it all. Where is the biggest jump in the world right now open to regular skiers (who either paid for a camp or are just cruising the public parks)? It's a little late in the season for the big booters to be up in Whistler, and a little early for the big parks to be built in New Zealand and South America, but maybe people who are riding different places around the world can post what the biggest jumps in their respective areas are.

Momentum has a huge step up that people could hit today if they wanted to.

Word. I guess I forgot to ask not only where they are, but how big they are too. Momentum site says their biggest jump is 60 feet, is that the step up that you're talking about? Sounds like a pretty decent size.

I haven't seen any others. Granted, I don't have all the time in the world to be browsing newschoolers so I may have missed a few. But to be quite honest, this is a fairly time-sensitive question, so a thread like this from 4 months ago has very little significance. And by very little, I do mean absolutely none.

No I think that's Momentum...I was there last session and I didn't see any step ups in the COC park, and you can see the entire park from the Hortsman Hut where we ate lunch every day. 

This jump, right?

Oh no I know what I did.  Somebody said in some thread that they would do anything for a Jiberish Boltastic hoodie, and I was trying to post that pic and say, "...anything?" but I didn't want to save it in my pics on NS bc it's disgusting, so I stopped and just posted the link instead, but I guess it didn't really go away and I clicked the wrong one by accident when posting the pic of the Momentum step over. 

Oops.

Theres probably some ridiculously huge jump somewhere on a glacier in Scandinavia or in the Alps, bigger than anywhere in NA.

not unless they have put up a new bigger jump very recently. Cardrona doesn't have a huge jump yet. Hopefully soon. They seem to be making progress on it.

I'll take that bet :)
The biggest jump up at snowpark at the moment is about 30 feet.
They are cutting the quarter/step up and halfpipe at the moment and are blowing snow onto the big jump line so it should get pretty sick soon.
Besides the biggest jump would definitely be in the bc.

Damn, i need to get my geography checked, I didn't know they had that kind of snow and the weather to sustain a jump that big in Norway in the summer. I knew they had summer skiing, but I guess I thought it was more like Whistler or Hood, where some snow stays but melts rapidly.
