    If you have never stood at the top of that run, no video does it justice. I am sure for those that are used to catching big air it’s all good but for the rest of us it’s terrifying. I ski a lot and I am very good but this run is above my pay grade. I think on a good snow year I could do the slide in method but certainly not going to drop it, which is the proper way. Much respect to those that can.

That all said if you can drop CC like it’s nothing much respect. CC is a very easily accessible run, unlike many runs in Europe it’s not ski mountaineering. Average people can ski right up to CC and look down. No guide needed. When I have skied in Europe I have always had a guide because I am not good enough to drop big air. Steep and narrow, but no drops for me. Take care

  • @legzdiamond2356
    @legzdiamond2356 Рік тому +53

    That’s 60 feet if it’s a foot. You don’t really get a sense of the exposure from the angle. He’s looking at the drop, a 30+ degree landing area that falls away a few hundred vertical feet before finally flatting out. The drop is impressive, but far more so when you realize it’s like he’s leaping from a ten story tower hanging in space at the top of an enormous mountain.

    • @AudioAdvisory38
      @AudioAdvisory38 6 місяців тому

      40 ft tops. Lets say his ski is a 180. When he clips the rock at the first step only half of it is between the lip and that first crack in the wall. Count that crack to lip measurement down the wall face. Or you could time his hang time... the wall isn't 50, but close to 50.
