BTW - the actual jumpoff/huck spot you're referring to D is a rock formation, not the old gondi stantion. The stantion is hidden behind bushes making it more difficult to jump off...

Next time up I'll take a picture of the spot I'm thinking about, after a big dump, like the one in the picture that opening is pretty tight,with the weight of the snow pulling the trees in.

BTW: I corrected your spelling but did it inside of the parentheses because i didn't want to get yelled at again for changing peoples posts. :lol: :lol:

I learned something new. Thanks.

You could be right - with all the snow pulling the trees down over it....

I thought so too but I believe it is a bit more open than that and it does not look as high as it usually looks. I can't believe there would be that much snow to make it look like this. However, it is possible that is the location you guys are referring to.

I don't think that's Helter Skelter, just doesn't quite look right.

Actually, it looks more like Caper Couloir.

It appears to be Reason . . . and what looks like a fallen tree is actually a water pipe covered in the October snow . . . but not covered as much as we're used to when they blow snow and we get more natural snow. It appears the rider is coming off a jump from the left of the picture. JMHO :wink:

Mrs. G does have a point. It could be reason because it was listed in the park/pipe section. I just didn't know if this was a widely known rock-drop, and was interested in finding it.

Doesn't look that way if you look at the shadowing. There are plenty cut throughs in the trees to and from reason...makes sense I suppose
