Chad's Gap is a 120 foot (around 36 meters) backcountry gap located in the Wasatch Mountains, near Alta Ski Area, in Utah, United States. Chad's Gap is a part of extreme skiing lore and facts about its exact location and the circumstances around its discovery have been reported but have not been fully substantiated.^[1] One version of the structure's discovery has it that Chad Zurinskas, a local Utah cook after whom the gap was purportedly named, discovered it as a gap between two piles of mine tailings in 1999 and arranged with filmmaker Kris Ostness to make the first successful jump.^[1] Other versions have that Candide Thovex made the first successful jump.^[1]
