more fun topic is drops that people on this site have actually skied themselves. Biggest drop for me has been roughly 8-10 feet off small overhangs in copper backbowls. I’ve heard stories of people dropping off of the big cliffs right in the middle of copper bowl which looks like it’s about 40 ft... but i’ve never seen it happen and the landing looks way way too flat

Yeah I should've included that honestly... Bonus clips for those with footy of their own hits!

I think it was around 20'. could probably have ridden away if the landing was a little steeper

Ive done like 9ish to flat on accident, hit this roller at pre decent speed and i also popped off it which didn't help and then the roller just disappeared under me to a flat hard packed groomer, stomped that shit like a champ and rode away for a few seconds before my legs gave out.

If we're turning this into a claim thread this is probably the biggest I've hit. 40ish ft? Was on the super weird closing day last year after being closed for 2 months the mountain reopened with mega limited reservations for a week. Only got to hit it once so I didn't really get it dialed, I'm probably gonna try and go 10-20 ft deeper this year since the tranny is super good. That's about as big as you can go at my home mountain, I'll have to go somewhere else to go any bigger

If the snows good it’s chillin but there’s definitely some better ones farther down the ridge

OP, jamie pierre's 255 ft cliff is prob the biggest one done on purpose


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYkapHBVs8
this julian carr one is psychotic, and if you google him you'll get more crazy drops


https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/806549/210-Foot-Cliff-Drop
here are a couple big boys that came to mind


https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/935231/Get-Sendy-Wendy
seth morrison is prob the king of crazy big cliffs, both stomping and hot tubbing. at the very least look up his segment in ski movie 3 the front line (by MSP, 2002). starts at about 14 minutes in


https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/841813/Ski-Movie-III--The-Front-Line
i'll come back and post others. i think in terms of huge stomped cliffs, ian mcintosh and richard permin are two of the sickest contemporary skiers. here's ian mc stomping the fuck out of a HUGE one

I remember someone posting a clip last year of them dropping a huge cliff at A bay, kid broke his foot and maybe a couple other bones but it looked gnarly at least from the angle it was shot at. Gonna try to dig it up later

These days, 10' rock is probably about my comfort zone.

Hmmm a couple notable ones...

Skied off (more like pigeon hopped down) the mansion smoke shack at breck, about 20'.
Was inside once when a guy on skis double backied off and I saw it out the window. We had the place packed, chiefed like 10 bowls, but I was blushing too hard to ask who he was. He had that god-tier swagger to him though. Crispy bright yellow and purple jacket. Short strawberry blonde hair.. European i think... way out of my league lol. Blew my mind though. Can never forget that.

Hmm for a proper huck though... that little band of cliffs in Waterfalls at Wolf Creek about 16ish feet. Peer pressure lol. It has an amazing landing, so yall should definitely not miss it if you ever ski there. Waterfall 4-c a little to skiers left.

On a snowskate, by accident at Maverick LAUNCHED it over a little staff cabin by the terrain park. It was mostly buried, so looked really small from the uphill only like a foot or two, but was like 12' on the downhill side. Lol I didnt see it and was hauling ass, so definitely did not land it. Lost my board immediately, flew through the air in a star pose, rolled the windows down, and lawn darted into the pow. Lol good times. Can't wait to get back there and hit it again on my skis.
