CHADS GAP

We did't know who this athlete was or who was filming him. I later learned athlete was OK.

Film rolling, skier throws what I guessed was a huge Kangaroo flip over Chad's Gap, landing deep on the hill into heavy warm snow. On contact, blown out of skis, and hand springs out of view.

Skier is tiny dot just above point of largest foreground tree (lower right of frame). Kicker take-off is white spot dead center of frame. Landing hill is behind trees opposite kicker. Skier is never more than a tiny dot in this clip - sorry for the flea circus.

Our brave friend, that was gigantic. Bigger than that. Wow.

Skier: Tim Durtschi

Location: Chads Gap
