Julian Carr jumps 150+ feet on skis
My son, Julian Carr, a competition free-skier, did a major jump last week. Here's the mail he sent and a picture.
Hi all again, 2 days ago I jumped the 165 footer in Wolverine Cirque that Jamie Pierre jumps in TGR's 'High Life'. Skis stayed on and I skied away clean (no digging out of a bombhole). Greg Epstein, JK, Shroder, and the Jackson boys filmed it on High Definition and was photographed by Will Wissman. Got a front flip off of a 50 footer for good measure later on that Will shot as well. 4 days ago I front flipped an 85 footer at Alta. Pete O'brien w/ TGR filmed it on 16mm and Brent Benson shot it. 6 days ago I was able to pull off 13 front flips off of 4 different 35 - 40 footers. Each one was either shot by Adam Clark, Steve Lloyd, and Will Wissman - along with 'Wahsatch Powder Productions' filming some of them. Way Stoked !!!! From all of this Will Wissman has invited me on a heli trip to Whistler to shoot. I leave on December 19. I have a shot in the Powder's Photo Annual. Adam Clark shot it - an ad for the Freeskiing world tour - 40 footer at Snowbird. Hope all is well with you. Cheers, Julian
