Go Big Or Go Home Skier Jean-Francois Houle launches off a monster jump near the Warm Springs base of Bald Mountain during a warm-up session Tuesday. Level 1 Productions, based in Denver, is filming a ski movie segment on the Lower Warm Springs ski run this week and into the weekend. The consensus from the stunt skiers and Director Josh Berman is that the jump built for the shoot is the biggest they have ever filmed. It measures 30 feet to the top, or lip, from the ground and spans a distance of 105 feet to one of two landing run-out ramps. Skiers estimated they were traveling at least 125 feet until touching down. Photo by Willy Cook
