Squaw Valley - Skier Hucks (Crashes) Huge 100' Cliff at Silverado Canyon

After 36" of snow in 24 hours, people were getting after it at Squaw - hitting the chutes and hucking cliffs. Gunner Newquist hucked a 100+ foot cliff below Tram Bowl (High Camp) near Silverado lift. It definitely was not pretty, but he hucked a huge cliff and skied away. In the air, he started out face first before landing on his back and creating a classic "Squaw hot tub".
Based on his performance and landing, it makes me think that in those snow conditions, I could have taken a red saucer off the same cliff, tossed the saucer in mid-air, landed on my back in the deep pow, and walked away. What do you think?

Such a nicely executed front flip! After 50 feet you should land on your back...unless you want your knees to go through your face!

@fredeschen3783 2 ай бұрын

After 99’ not 50. People stomp 50’+ cliffs every day with good snow conditions.

36 inches in 24 hours is not a lot of snow for 100 feet. Was gunner winded? Any soreness? Ive gone 65 feet with 110 inches in 72 hours and it was super fluffy. A few people did hospital (kirkwood) air with 136 inches in 36 hours and or something and they said it they have had back problems as they got older. Dont know if its related to the huck tho lots of people have back problems.

So everyone saying it's not possible to land on your feet with such a huge drop, it is...dude took 3/4 of Corbet's in the air and staight up stomped it, but it was a steeper landing kzfaq.infofx78iA898r8?feature=share

@@anthonysteen56 Sadly ACL pop super easy and surprising so does your back. Another fun fact that many people don’t seem to know is in about 15 years of popping your ACL you will have arthritis in said knee. Most of my friends are wearing knee braces, popping pills and some getting knee replacement’s. When your young you are not thinking about this. I myself have had at least six serious injuries and I wish I would have thought it out a bit better. On the positive side I am still skiing, mountain biking and backpacking often well into my 60s. Take care

It distributes the force so that they avoid injury. The forward momentum I's usually enough to right the skier after they land.

Not very skilled. Had not vision on the jump- you have to do a trick to stay focused in the air. He was just throwing himself off with no direction and the poor results followed. Glad he is ok and didn't tag a rock or snow covered boulder that could have been waiting under the snow at the landing- happens all the time.
