If you ever wanted to try Olympic style snowboarding jumps,without the risk of a hard landing, now's your chance. Last year Peek 'n Peak ski resort tried out the Bag Jump for a weekend - and this year, they've added it as a permanent attraction.
It's inflated at the foot of the hill by the Retreat lodge and people were trying it out this weekend. The giant air filled bag, creates a cushion for skiers or snowboarders who want to try tricks or flips.
For snowboarder, Hunter Thorpe, this weekend was the first time to test the Bag Jump. "It's pretty fun a little bit scary your first time," said Thorpe, "but after that it's pretty sick."
Nick Scott, resort owner said, "It's really exciting and people love it, it's a chance for them to do some acrobatics that they could never do otherwise but they get a nice safe soft landing with this Bag Jump."
