I have thought so many times about just dropping out of the lift and wondering how the physics of the landing would go in different areas, and how much strain it would put on me, the effect of different amounts and densities of snow. I would be way more tempted and probably not thinking as well in this situation.
Have you seen the movie Frozen? Not the cartoon one for kids…
Better to be either really low so you can actually jump safely, or really high so you know for sure it’s not a good idea. In the middle area is where you might overestimate your chances.
