Next on the list would be AMF (Adios Mother F***er) at Snowmass. More difficult to get into and a long trail out.
Mary Jane mountain at Winter Park - particularly Outhouse.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Probably one of those "you're a lot more likely to die in a car than a plane" things but a few years after someone I work with did one as a big charity fundraiser thing and and broke both of his legs
I've got fiends who've done a skydive and a bungee jump and said the bungee was worse. I'm booked on to one of those indoor skydives soon so that might have to be good enough to tick that off my list.

I first tried to do a skydive in Australia in my 20s. Was booked to go but was cancelled due to the weather. By coincidence I ended up sitting next to a skydiving instructor a few days later who told me how one time the chute didn't open on a tandem skydive and the person with him panicked so much, didn't follow the instructions and he had to cut them loose so as to avoid both of them being killed. Not sure if it was a true story but it didn't put me off!

I've not tried a bungee jump yet but will do one dayComment

My bungee was off a specially constructed platform over a beautiful lake in NZ. The rush lasted all day. One of the most enjoyable things I've ever done.Comment

A bungee is definitely worse imo. When I did a tandem skydive - both of you shuffle to the plane door. When I did a bungee, it's solo and you have to physically walk off the ledge which is terrifying.Comment
