Granite Gorge Bag Jump Opening
Saturday marked the grand opening of Granite Gorge’s new Bag Jump feature. It was a chance to check out the permanent installation that will most likely be in use year round but is intended for ski/snowboard aerial trick practice. First impressions – the bag is huge! At 12 feet high it towers over everyone. The staff at granite ran a scissor lift all day for everyone to jump off into the bag. At a max height of 42 feet it’s pretty intense. But rest assured, no one was hurt from dropping at that height and you sure as hell won’t be dropping in that high on a snowboard or ski’s, hopefully. The free fall is rad but everyone is stoked for winter. Check out a sneak peak photo of some of the building goin on in the base area too. Look for a whole new lodge this year, complete with indoor bathrooms, a bar, kitchen and second floor deck. More to come on that soon. It’s gonna be another awesome winter at the Gorge!
