After hearing a bit about the 'traditional Kirkwood huck to flat', I started wondering what resorts were the kings for huckers.
I'll throw my hat in for Grand Targhee - hundreds of easily accessible cliff bands, many on north facing slopes with soft snow and steep landings. Resort is so quiet as well that it doesn't seem to turn into a feeding frenzy every time it snows.
Squaw - for obvious reasons.
engelberg has lots of non pierrish hucks i like a lot ;)
and you have countless possibilities of going 15m+
andermatt is primo for the junior hucker: tons of 10-20 footers with steep landings and powdery snow (north facing)
p.s. i'm hardly even a junior hucker!
Frankly I like flat, hardpack landings with thick trees in the way, so I'm going to go with Sunday River.
Well, I moved to Squaw from Colorado and the sheer number of cliffs blew my mind. But growing up in CO my main hucks spots were: various stashed cliffs throughout Mary Jane, hiking the 80's off Berthoud, and you can never go wrong with Chair 11 at Vail.
That said, I am probably totally out of the CO loop....but might be moving back soon. SO, I'd like to hear some response from the CO Mags.
OH YEAH, you cannot leave out Donner Pass (Donner Peak area just outside of Sugarbowl). The number there is limitless. Example, Tremann's 145 ft(from the old North Face flick) is only about a 15 minute hike from the road.
there's a little place in Utah called wolverine cirque I heard's alright.

don't give away secrets, son, there are NO cliffs at Squaw and especially no cliffs at Donner. I repeat, THERE ARE NO CLIFFS AT DONNER PASS and especially no trains tunnels to jump
those are false rumors
and even if there were any cliffs, which there aren't, they'd all be groomed, so that's no fun for anyone
trust me on this, I wouldn't lie, here's my Publicity Director to handle the clean-up:
