Anyone built a Kicker?

[Affix Snow]

Curious if anyone has ever built a kicker, or jump, up there with photos.

Or is that just stupid due to the location and risk of injury?

Also, does anyone find themselves
doing less at work because of this? :skicool:

There's usually a jump there every time I've been. Snow boarders usually build it using their boards as shovels.

April 3rd it was right at the entrance to the ravine on a rock.

May 1st it was at the base of the lunch rocks on a rock. Though I think some guys were trying to build one out of a big chunk of ice in the middle of the ravine and never finished it.

Lots of fun watching folks huck it.

I've mostly seen avy debris as catalyst for jumps as so...

I never even thought of building a kicker out there, I thought it would be frowned apon.

It doesnt make me too psyched...
Most injuries I've witnessed were on kickers...
