Here are the contenders that I know of:

Chris Benchetler in this Nimbus edit, 4:55, last shot, holy shit.

B.C. Backcountry from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.




Stu Halverson in Stept Productions's "How We Livin", 1:05 in the trailer.




Anybody got other contenders? Let's see 'em.

shea flynn in weight, not in pow but surely one of the biggest 180. also, charley ager is the king of switch in powder so he probably have done one of the biggest 1,5 and 9 into powpow

I will have to go through all the movies I have, but its a recent movie that dropped with in the year. I cant remember his name but 70% of his stuff is landing monsterous switch lines.

Any body who can get this +K. Cant remember it for the life of me.

Although mr. Ager is a great skier, I believe that title belongs to pollard.

Big, but not quite as big as Benchetler in that Nimbus edit.


You guys just motivated me to buy The Grand Bizarre on iTunes, so we'll see how it stacks up. :)

Pep's 180 at the end of his segment in Session 1242 might win. Especially since he's not on rockered skis. @3:20

I think Benchetlers was the biggest in this thread, can't think of any other ones right now but Sammy C did a huge one in Grand Bizarre, not as big as those in here but it's worth a mention.

Well, if we consider the distance to be the horizontal side and the drop to be the vertical side of a right triangle, I'm looking for the 180 with the longest hypotenuse. :)

Leigh Powis's in Grand Bizzare was pretty big, also his urban 180 is worth a mention, he probably drops 20 feet to flat then hits pavement

.

I would also just instinctively say that somewhere, in some movie, pollard has outdone everyone in sheer 180 steeze and size.

Oh shit, he has been mentioned, my bad... But I think Pollard is easily the nicest skiier to watch in pow and he kills it switch better than anyone..

Good stuff here folks, keep it coming.

Just scoped Grand Bizarre, Ager and Powis both have huge ones... but I think Benchetler still takes the cake. Totally natural takeoff too.

Good call whoever said "Idea" - Pep, Pollard AND Andy all drop massive ones on the T-Line stepdown at around 7:25.

Not exactly the biggest but it's my favourite, it's at 2:52 Mr. Pollard himself:
