              Any run where the camera guy has to rappel down to get a good shot might be a little much for me. I would likely pass, at least until my kids are through college and their existence is no longer dependent on my ability to walk and work.

                        Would depend on conditions for me.

                        I've got a buddy who use to ski Jackson (along with Big Sky, Targhee, etc) often when he lived in NE Idaho. He's got quite a bit of video. He pointed out to me that there are times when it's not quite vertical and more of a roll in than a drop in and then a straight shot down. Other times you may have one or two turns you absolutely must make or you are going to eat rocks. Miss the turn = pain. Those times would not be for me... very little margin for error and big consequence if I lost my nerve. Plus I still just don't trust my skills (or lack thereof) enough to know I could make the turn if I absolutely had to.

                          You know that feeling of vertigo? If I get that from WATCHING the video, I'm not gonna do it when I get there. Taht's why I hate the terrain park. I can't get over the falling feeling. =/

                              I don't think they allow shorties to get on the gondola to get up to that ridge, at least they didn't a few years ago. That may have changed by now.
