congrats! those look like the jumps they used to build at one of my local hills. wish they still shaped 'em like that.
First 2 attempts at the "bigger" park jump at my local resort. (1 video, 3 pics)

Landed both with a simple grab. I was pretty happy. I just started snowboarding in January, so I'm still a beginner...but finally felt real comfortable with the small jumps, so decided to give this guy a go.
Not sure how big it is, small I'm sure compared to what a lot of you guys jump, but it's the biggest we have at our tiny little resort. :yahoo:
Of course, any constructive criticism is appreciated. Something I'm doing wrong or could improve on...I'm still learning big time.

I'm with linvillegorge on this one. That's in the <15 foot range. Still a good size starter jump. But it ain't a 25-30 footer
Probably they measure with the same yardstick they use to measure base depth -- which is also usually not as much as they reportThat's about what I figured. Probably 3 board lengths to clear. Not sure how they measure, but I agree that it isn't 25 feet.
