Chad's Gap, Mountain pass in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, United States

Chad's Gap is a ski jump located in the Little Cottonwood Canyon mountain pass within the Wasatch Mountains, positioned northeast of the Alta Ski Area. The formation sits between two piles of mining debris that were left from earlier operations in the area.

The site was discovered in 1999 by a local resident who recognized the possibility of creating a ski jump between the mining debris piles. The first successful crossing was completed by a French athlete and documented with the help of a filmmaker.

The gap is named after Chad Zurinskas, a Utah resident who, by one account, found the space between two mine tailings piles in 1999 and arranged with filmmaker Kris Ostness for the first successful jump, made by Candide Thovex. Tanner Hall's short landing broke both ankles, and his cry "My ankles are broken" became a well-known line in snow sports.

Chad's Gap lies about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) northeast of Alta Ski Area in the Wasatch Mountains, reached only by backcountry travel on skis or a splitboard; there is no lift, trailhead sign or marked route. The 120-foot (37 m) gap between two mine tailings piles demands expert-level jumping and landing skills, and snow coverage on the tailings varies with weather, so assess conditions on site before committing.

Tanner Hall, known as "Ski Boss", broke both ankles coming up short on the gap; he said it felt like his ski boots had been loaded with dynamite. His cry, "My ankles are broken, my ankles are broke", became famous in snow sports.
