Ha, I just realized that shot is my avatar on HR forums, lol.

I really don't have many good cliff drop photos, can't find many others. Here is mid-drop off Tower 10 cliffs at MRG:

Who filmed that for you??

Darrell Miller of Storm Show Studios. He is a very good old friend of mine. I sort of helped him get his ground roots company get started. Sort of......I had a very little hand in all of it but I helped at that time. D is a local legend and has a few first descents that are pretty ridiculous in the Jackson bc. The most notable is Cora's Coulior. D is sort of nuts!

This is why I sort of get a little butt hurt when I hear skiers say bad thing about snowboarders, some of my most favorite and most amazing friends to ride with are snowboarders. Heck, my skiing style is inspired by all of them!

That video is just sick. We Just got back from out first of many trips to Jackson. Did 1st Turn on Sunday, Taylor on Monday and had sights on Turkey Chute but ended up getting socked in (due to a couple wrong turns on the skin up) so we just did 25 Short woods.

WY/ID is just freakin amazing, so many hills so little time

The day begins... Your mountain awaits.

I agree completely. I ski with some really good boarders and learned a lot from some of them especially the level 3 instructors. You're a good dude with a great attitude. And you do some crazy shit!

This is a guy that boards with us. He had been eyeing this drop for a while and this was his first attempt. While he didn't land it, it took some balls to make that drop. That was at Greek.

Seems like Darrell was flirting with disaster.
One of the most awesome snowboarding videos I've seen. Ranks up there
with the boarders outrunning an avalanche.

He has actually gone back for a second run at that thing. It was more filled in the second time. It was also named after his daughter, she was probably 6 or 7 when he made the first descent.

If you think that was awful, you should see my cliff drops.
