On Friday morning, the end was near. Only three more days of Squaw operations teetered on the the brink of summer oblivion. This daunting fact was heavily shouldered by all. 1 inch of fresh snow and the Chimney being open left a dangerous worm hole in time open to the truly freaked out Squaw aficionado.
Center Line Worm Hole. Chimney. Squaw Valley.
None felt allure of that worm hole more than Dan. He knew that if he jumped into that worm hole, also known as Center Line, he could warp time and make the season longer and more powerful…or potentially shorter and more painful. That’s the perilous affliction worm holes subscribe to; you really cannot know just by looking into them which direction in time they’ll take you.
stepping into the worm hole
Dan entered the worm hole. A solid 50 foot, high speed air slowed time and space down significantly. The distance traveled, combined with the air resistance of traveling at high velocity thru space time raised his ski tips up and sent him backseat just enough to catapult him out of the worm hole and back to reality. Two high speed tomahawks with solid 20+ foot gaps between touchdowns left Dan back at Squaw Valley. Mission complete.
Riding the worm hole with possible discovery of the “Gravitron” or "Higgs Boson Particle"
Was the mission successful? No doubt. Dan traveled thru space time, lengthened his season, and gave himself something to remember forever. That was certainly the biggest air taken at Squaw Valley in 2011/12.
anyone get footage from below? that was large. looks smooth in the runout though.
There goes 2 minutes of my life I will never get back!
Fucking gay!
That Makes two of us!
Way to go pal. On one inch of fresh. Woohoo. Nicely dun.
Big!
wow
another post of the exact same line at squaw.
Shut your mouth
If you were there and you looked down it you would realize that it in no way shape or form was the same line.
Chuzzed it, doesn’t count.
Really? Why does it matter so much to you fools if someone stomps it or not. It used to not matter as much. My guess is that it’s because of park skiers. If you don’t stomp a trick in the park then the trick doesn’t count, I get it, its a little different than what Dan was doing here. How can you seriously criticize that line in these conditions. Dan is a heavy hitter, has been for a long time. Maybe next season we can all be a little less critical of each other. We’re all out there for the same reason- skiing/ boarding is the funnest sport on the planet. This is my opinion, but I’m sure some of you douches will disagree. Sweet line Dan- way to hang it all out!
Yes it does matter and it has nothing to do with park!
Fag!
you would pee your big old sagging pants at the top of that line you geek. what are you a fuckin olympic judge? nothing looks as big as it is from the safety of your computer screen in your warm little tool shed.
Shut the fuck up fag! Let me guess your from the east coast? Vermont?
Yea this is big and he rag dolled for about 80ft!
This skier is a complete deusch for claiming and for trying to claim how sick he is!
No I’ve lived here all my life. Now clean that semen off your keyboard and get back to work geek.
Is “Fag” your only comeback you knuckle dragging piece of ####. How bout you get up there and send a line like that. probably would tip over on that shitty board.
Gangsta
How long have you been waiting for a post you can work “the Higgs-Boson” particle into……
Worthy attempt! Dan woulda stomped it if he weren’t on such shitty skis! He’s clearly not blowing the right people if Ski Logik is his only hook-up!
SKi Logik shits on your mantras.
ski logics suck. They might ski well until the sidewalls blowup and the tips delam after 4 days
Sounds just like Praxis……
Dude…That was HUGE!
1 inch of fresh. . .Wow nice!! Better man than me!!
Whoa! I was nervous just watching him!!
how could you possibly know? ur full of sh*t!
did not land it either, pssshhh
the air is mandatory, but the landing is optional!
huge. i don’t care what the h8tr’s say, i’ll never get tired of the hype that is the ‘sades! nice way to wrap up the year at squaw Dan.
I did the same thing except I landed it. Oh, and I did a frontflip too
Hey Heck,
Pretty sure the only you’ve flipped off is mogul field on the front side of your home hill, Boreal. But i’m sure is was super sweet!!!
good one
He would have actually stomped it but he hit Heckler’s bomb hole
Back Slap. Stay centered. Come to Chamonix and try that, you’ll die.
That’s how Plake and Schmidt died while filming Blizzard. So sad.
they were on 210 DH boards. It was 1988. and they are both still alive.
I thought if you backslapped in Cham you automatically die?
what? dude, that joke sucked!
its so funny to read the posts from you jealous losers who wouldn’t have even tried to ski it if there were tons of snow on it. give the guy props for having the guts and not breaking anything. if you don’t like reading about squaw big airs then go read something else too. I think dan did an awesome job.
yep. most of these retards dont even ski.
I was going to give him props till I seen his post of him claiming how “bad ass he is”
Now a days nobody could just ski and ride without bragging who they are or how sick they are!
Your a kook, a baby, a whiner, a complaining jealous hater, a tool, snap-on the king of tools. Call people fag all you want, you have no creativity or wit.
BEAT IT KOOK.
i have seen this stupid line on unofficial so many times that I wonder if it is the only cool thing at squaw. where’s the kt shots? of something else for that matter. minus points….
Hey Teej- Why didn’t you read the avalanche report, man?
Really its just a reflection of the season. It wasn’t the greatest season for making videos, it wasn’t the greatest season for skiing period. The chimney was where the fun was this year. Whole bunch of storms with 1″ down low 6″ up top. There were a brave few who sent the fingers but there was never a traditional fingers race. Personally this is what I think makes skiing fun. The mountain is never the same. Each season, each storm really, creates a whole new mountain. Runs you’ve skied a million times before take on their own personality. Just ask the “old guy crew” who ski Chute 75 every day.
man it must be nice to be as good as all of you and think that was weak! I just wish my shitty ski logiks were a better ski so I could do REAL skiing. Im barely worthy of even commenting amongst such amazing skiers.
… almost as big as my meat. Sick huck though. No question.
I saw those hole’s, thought they we’re from patrol
guess he better go back to delaware and surf some more.
funny, just mentioned the other day how I haven’t seen any good beaters @ squaw this season. now, I have,,,,,kinda…..
‘course he gonna beater with a hottub landing like that. (as seen in his shadow) here’s the best equipment ever made available to skiers in history and most still don’t have the ability to pull it off.
remember when we did it on 68mm underfoot? you had to be on point to stick it…
glad he’s okay, props for the confident attitude at take off, maybe better luck next year, or if he’s so inclined to show some real ballz, hike up there this week and send it w/o patrol and the rest watching.
they may be wrinkled, but they’re still big,,,,,,,
schneeezeeee
Really only worth posting if you stomp that.
thank you for saying something on here that makes sense to people who enjoy style and landed tricks/lines. F you Dan for claiming and boasting on a total rag doll.
He didn’t even say anything you idiot. He didn’t post it, miles did. I was there, it was sick, he didn’t claim, your claiming, you are an idiot.
sick, gnarly launch, Dan. awesome is the only word for that!
seriously? Dumb@ss!
Hey all you haters go F yourself! I do this for fun u don’t even have the BALLS to look over the edge. Next time you see me on the hill let’s take a lap up there and I’ll see what your made of! And to all the real skiers thanks for the props, see you all next season.
I was always taught to be humble!
You didn’t even stomp it!
Whatever kook. Scarcia’s skied and stomped that line like 20 fucking times. Low tide = Big nuts to even drop in. Slapper or not that took commitment. I have skied with Dan for years and he’s anything but a claimer. He pays for his own skiing and pushes it everyday for the fun of it. So just fucking relax dork.
You mentioned that heckler now go learn to ski and someone might care….
Nice Dan! Thats a sic line. Even if the outcome didn’t work out so well I know you didn’t drop in not thinking you had it. Next year! All the haters are sad. fucking idiots take up space. You have been dedicated to skiing and charging hard since we worked at eagles nest in ’96. Keep it up!
It takes no skill to point it. Anyone can go huck themselves. The better skiers ski away. NIce attempt just not worth posting…
This video sucks as much as the skier in it!
Don’t sweat it Dan, the haters have no idea just how sick that line was at this time of year with the conditions on Friday. Just insanity.
well said man.
U you lost all credibility there Dan…. HAHA get outta the back seat.. u cant drop into the chimney all laxadazical like being all Yeah center line… get pissed next time stay forward.
Yer so tough Dan! What frat are you in? You are such a douche it is painful to watch what you do and to read what you write. Lame.
theres a fine line between actually being a good skier and doing stupid shit to compensate for your lack skills, and then claiming it on the internet. Props for sacking up to that in shitty conditions, but dont get arrogant if you didnt land it.
I have plenty of balls to look off the cornice of mini golf you call skiing in squaw valley. now come look over the edge of the glacier rond when it is a sheet of blue ice with a 400ft serac at the bottom. maybe you can send that? stop bragging and just ski. will take a lap with you anytime!
You have no idea what a serac is, do you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UZvIZAHjlY
Gutsy drop in and takeoff, not many could ski out of that. I would peer over the edge and go around. Props for the skiing and totally worth posting.
Coming on here and telling people to F off makes you look like a dick tho.
Everybody is a internet skier these days….LOL…..1000% props for getting after it! That was fucking BAD ASS Scarcia! As a real skier I APPRECIATE IT! I really don’t give a fuck if you landed clean or not….How many people are actually gonna ski that line in those conditions? You rock brother!
I like it less now that you are claiming it.
Props Dan!! Was standing next to ya when you dropped in. CONFIDENCE.. What gives with all the haters on here lately??Hey shit-talkers, Take a lap with Dan and see if you can hang. Funny thing is we all know who the real skiers are, so you hate-talkers keep talkin cuz we know you do not walk the walk
Should a let the h8erz hate. Def less werthy with the claim. Twaz badass NO bout a doubt it! You wanna watch? BN? Don’t stand here!??
With all this shit talking, there should have been at least a dozen more tracks off center line. Pretty sure there was only one.
Exactly!!!!
BALLZ! Clearly people on here don’t understand that line is huge especially in this low snow pack. Maybe if they learned how to ski…
Yeah Dan F the H8ters!!! Dan takes it to the limit every time and that’s why he is the CHIMNEYMASTER!!
Sooo sick of the Palisade worshippers! Much sicker lines else where with out the audience, and al this go pro cam crap. Next time post a line you actually stuck! Crashes are part of the deal but crappy line and claiming it???? How many gnar points was that bro bra?
dude the POVs….its the technology of the times man, and people wanna use it, so what ya know? im not into it, actually used one once and couldnt work it, said eff it……. the sades is infamous cause shmitty and teh guys, keep the infamy for scot and mike. sure there is bigger lines….. but this is unofficialsqaw. and i never won a spelling bee.
how does scot get minus points….intresting. hope he goes on this site.
Man, i can’t believe how many people are talking shit.. how on earth does someone sending it like a badass piss you off so much instead of stoking you out? fucking internet..
Its because he is getting credit for biggest air of the year…. did no one see A. Fox taking glory 70+ ft or the ring when it was HUGE. oh yeah what about mikey wilsons backflip over the fingers. were not mad at him just the author for being speshul
I have to agree. Fox with the biggest air of the year plus he actually landed it.
anywhere to see the airs you mentioned? thanks
yeah. the view was great from KT when wilson got his pass pulled for jumping off the lift to flip the fingers. ski more, desk jockey less and you might catch some of this stuff.
haha sorry mr internet tough guy, this is my first (and last) time even bothering to read the comments from you keyboard warriors, i just wanted to see if there was video of the things mentioned to stoke me out. jesus christ, what are you guys so pissed off about?
hahaha okay, we’ll all quit our jobs to be full time dick rider wannabes like you. that’s way cooler than asking for video clips right?
I know of at least a couple 2012 Squaw airs sent straight to feet that are bigger than any of these referenced. But, I don’t need to name the young guns that dialed in these big stomps, because they didn’t do it for acclaim. They did it because it was fucking fun (I bet). And, they’ll be doing it many times over.
effin technology…… remember when we went to ski to make turns go fast and have fun…. then have a bere in celebration of a great day… not about braggin, about skiing and community IMO
but tis what tis….lotta intresting comments on this one…..
We all know the people making hateful comments would defecate themselves just peering over the ledge.
Dan, way to get after it. I have been wondering whose bomb holes those belonged to.
are bomb holes cool or something? you moron.
He truly is the best skier on the mountain!
THIS IS THE problem with unofficial they are way too wrapped up with a set of shitty cliffs that were cool when Mckonkey hit them but now are just a magnet for retards who have no idea how to ski just fall off stuff, it takes no skill to do what Joey bag a donuts did, no props for sucking.
how DARE you spell his name wrong!! shows how much you know you fucking D-BAG!!!
Danny would leave you in puddle of shame if you ever tried to keep up with him. “shitty cliffs”?? K, tough guy, post some of your pics of all epic hucks you’ve achieved.
Well, first of all it wasn’t an epic buck because he crashed. More like an epic fail and idiotic day to do something this size. Macho skiers are a dime a dozen at Squaw and on this site. Lame. Glad I snowboard and don’t hang with pumped up frat boy skiers.

Sick physics lesson Miles! Thanks for the
schoolin’.
Just remember everyone H.A.T.E.R.S. = Having Anger Towards Everybody Reaching Success
Yeah I know the sades dont look as gnar on film or from the newport unload zone but stand up top knowing ur gonna drop in and look down that beast…. stomp it then maybe u can talk shit…
how is a beater success???
Because he made unofficial and ur just another joey bag of doughnuts
where were all the real skiers earlier this year when I got raped on here for defending a similar post?! (hopefully skiing, something these ass-whipe chimney haters should try)
lookers right of the wormhole, that ever get skied?
btw….way to send it!
just asking…….
Wormhole isnt actually a line and yes the loft gets skied.
thank you. nice. looks rad.
when did beaters out of the chimney count???
who cares if someone drops but can’t stick it.
McConkey had skills that no one before or since can ever come close
quit claiming shit cause you think you’re bad ass. there are no bad ass skiers outside of world cup downhillers
you fags couldn’t even complete the hannenkahm course.
you want bad ass? Alex Honnold is a real bad ass, free solo’s 5.12 and up, can you do that? didn’t think so
what a bunch of douchebags
Someone is upset they didnt make an unofficial edit this year… keep trolling buddy
i think somebody is a washed up ski racer….or maybe just a groupie.
HAHAHAHA “there are no real bad ass skiers outside of world cup downhillers” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
everyone who is not Shane or Alex Honnold is simply not worthy. hey how about a nice big shut the FUCK up.
Its the journey man. The landing is just part of it. He took the journey thats all that counts. Would have loved to see the Tomahawk landing though. Also you remember your shit show more than when you stomp cause its more of an adventure.
to see the hawk would have been phat
Scarcia, learn to take the heat, it’s part of being ‘a man’.
didn’t y’all see Tom Day ski that shit, spring conditions in Mid May once in some circa mid 90′s films?
so stfu, quit claiming and bragging and go ski…..
blah blah im hiding behind a computer and throwing insults at people i dont know, bragging about how much better other things i looked at were than this. its as obvious as a little dick driving a giant shiny truck.
I read your post from through out this post and by how much you talk about dick and balls it makes me think that you must be a homosexual
good one dude. you’re almost as funny as a fifth grader…almost.
Wow good insult! I am surprised you didn’t mention anything about dick or balls!
Macho insecurity macho insecurity you can’t stand yourself.
Dan and crew, good video, huge balls and you get props from me and many others. So you didn’t land it perfectly. You tried and you put it on video. Right on! Great end to a good end of season. People have realized that the end of the season was pretty darn good and you but yourself out there. Good job!
ski for your soul not for the camera. you all are wasting you time. i’m blowing my time typing this…
I personally enjoy sick ski footage, entertainment if you will. I guess you’re saying no one should film because its bragging? Get a clue.
it is cool to see, thats why we come on here, im just not into actually POV myself…. holds me up… xtra stuff…. skiis is all ya need
ski for the soul…not camera…..
thats skiing.
Reminds me of the whole new KSL mentality at Squaw. Huge attempt with lack luster result, then a self congratulatory response. Big balls but not exactly skiing.
Very cool to attempt this line… Just only worth posting on a stomp.
saw this go down… no one else was skiing anything like it, actually saw a bunch of weak lines all over the mountain, and by far this was the sickest air! props for the attempt and thanks for the entertainment.
Yeah TBH how many of you would even attempts such a line, there’s nothing worse than a bunch of fannies arguing online its just plain embaressing. Sick line Dan, Sick Drop, Sick whether you stomped it or not the point is your up there doing it and not Chatting shit on some website about stuff you can’t even do, RESPECT to the Mountains!. Powder to the Skier.
Ha ha, it’s funny how worked up everyone gets over all these comments. All that matters was that Dan was having a good time.
yuppers1 right on.
thats whats up…… having a good time and showing us that air, the crash and safely skiing away to ski another day.
Anyone that wants to talk shit on that huck is a moron. Dan is one of the best local skiers on this hill. So he got in the backseat going 50mph off a 50 ft air….do the math. Anyway he landed, it still equals more sack than anyone talking shit here. Heres an idea…get to kt before 8 AM on a powder day. Line up next to one of these dudes and learn something…yeah I know it’s scary to have to put away your computers and actually go skiing. Theres a reason we get to ski lines you never would. We actually go to the mtn….Later posers!
usually best to slightly pre-jump a.k.a. ‘ollie’ middle rock in center line to avoid the push to the backseat
Was it a good run or was it a bad run? The only thing that matters was did he have a smile on is face at the end of the line. I think he did. Question answered because thats what its all about.
damn right!!!
good thing your landings are wide fucking open at squaw
yep. it is a good thing.
You should have tried POLE WHACKING at the top!
Hey haters, Dan has been stomping lines in the chimney and all over squaw since 96. So what he crashed this time, it’s not like he claimed he stomped it. Baddass line baddass tomohawks sick vid from OG squaw baddass!!!
Thanks Dan!!
Radical!
Not!
He is still a deusch for bragging how cool he is!!
Yeah Dan! That was fucking sick. Who cares if you didnt stomp it? Id like to see any other human who talks shit on here try and stomp that shit, let alone send it. Squaw is a place like nowhere else and people who havent been around dont and will never understand. Obviously you dont know who Dan is if you imply that he cant ski because anyone can point it. I didnt see that guy next to him watching point it.
Shane loved to soul ski, and Shane loved an audience. Remember that.
Sure dan cant stick uphill ice…. not to many can. Valiant effort!
Definitley not the biggest air.. but props for almost killing yourself
hahahahahaha…. you guys are funny. anyway, sick line, that was badass, obviously wouldve been cooler if you landed it but damn sonny it was still tight. more than i couldve handled.. and most of you probably too
There are a couple of fucking duche bags on here looking for what we used to call around here a South Shore Birthday Party. Id be willing to bet not one of you fucking dorks would hit that line in pow. So shut your fucking pie holes.
Biggest air of the year?! Know what’s wrong with u skiers, u think hucking urself off cliffs and back slappin is the shit. How bout u try landing on ur feet and ride something out. He didn’t even try and land it! And btw I’m pretty sure people where going 100+ feet on the jumps, bigger then your 50′, and stomping the shit outta it. BOTH skiers and boarders. Get wit it. Get off ur back like a bitch and stand on ur feet.
haha yeah dude, hitting a perfectly manicured jump is totally comparable to pointing if off center line with an inch of snow. get a life
Woah.. I stumbled on this site and I think its a cool idea. But some of you dudes have some real freakin emotional and ego issues. So much for being brothers in spirit and lifting each other up. What is it that creates the need to rip another dude down.. make you feel better about yourself or something? jeez..
So, first of all welcome. I’m not part of unofficial here to pre qualify everything… looking at these posts you there are two sides. stomped and unstomped…being what a dismal year it was in squaw depth wise, I simply give him credit for trying. as far as the bro factor goes, those of us in support of dan on this line obviously know him or have skied with him…it’s everyone else who is a total sissy.
I’m also wondering why everyone’s so angry and cynical about something we all (supposedly). What’s up with all the hate? You haters need to reexamine your lives. Great send Dan!
LOL! I can’t believe I just spent 10 mins of my day getting sucked into all of these comments. Gotta love all the haters who get so worked up over something most of us do for fun. After reading several of these posts I feel like I am reading a High School blog. To all who have nothing nice to say, grow up and get over yourself! There will always be somone better than you with bigger balls and willing to push harder. And if you dont think so, just wait a few years and then there will be:) Props for committed drop in and big air! Who cares if he landed. I am sure he had a lot of fun doing it, and I am sure the people who watched it enojyed it! Party time, Excellent!
Good on ya for the effort, but rollin’ down the windows and beatering out is not worthy of a post. reading comments from all these jack offs makes me glad I left Squaw behind.
