Ski BASE jumping off a hotel, when it’s actually legal!

17Nov07

So as a part of a fundraiser event for the Make a wish foundation Shane McConkey, JT Holmes, Jesse Hall and Miles Dasher are doing a ski BASE jump from the top of the Silver Legacy Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada. A wooden ramp was built on the top of the hotel for the in-run with some Snow Flex carpet and topped off with 1,000 lbs of shaved ice. They will do 4 jumps each from 1-4pm tomorrow and hopefully it will run late enough for a sunset load. I’ll be shooting from the ground as well as up on the hotel as well. Should be a fun and unique event, I’m looking forward to it.

Pretty normal, walking around with skis in the LZ in 60 degree weather with no snow in sight.JT getting interviewed, the jump in the backgroundThe ramp up top as seen from the groundThe Security escort UP the elevator.The ramp at the top of the hotelJT Holmes counting the flips he’s going to do
