People Trying to Ski Corbet's When the Snow Sucks

Watching other people drop into Corbet's Couloir in March 2017 when snow conditions were pretty meh. Two years later, I finally worked up the courage to do this run (see that video here:    • I Finally Skied Corbet's Couloir  ). Turns out it was way easier than I was expecting. Granted, I got it earlier in the season on a light powder day. Your experience may differ.

Shot with a GoPro HERO3+.

Corbets is at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming, USA.

  • @mikeisl33t
    that snowboarder sent the hell out of that! damn. that was sick!
  • @chloec392
    Man I dream of being able to do this someday but just watching these videos of people looking over the edge make my legs and knees tingle...
  • @Boblib1970
    I'd love to see this in person one day. I would be that guy @ 2:14. Ski's off, crawling on my hands and knees, and peeking over the edge.

    Just watching most ppl do this, I can tell they should be able to do it. But they’re definitely getting psyched out and not landing right

    I looked at this in 1989…no chance I was gonna send it. Props to those who did and do. Those Jackson Hole Air Force boys, hell they had no fear launching all over the place on 205cm straight skis. Amazing times, ridiculous skiers - if you haven’t watched the Swift, Silent Deep do it. Great film on some of the pioneers of extreme including the legendary Doug Coombs who the idiots at Jackson banned for skiing OB.

    That’s wild that the snowboarder Just out did the skiers like that 😂 I expected it tho
  • @johndoe-fd7rd
    Man this looks like so much fun. Once my shoulder heels from shoulder surgery then I get the trim ligaments in my knee replaced I might try this!
  • @Swaderz9
    I might hit this but man that looks slick. Maybe on a powder day
  • @mylesaway2566
    I guess it being icy with little snowfall and no sun so you're just seeing white makes it more gnarly, but that's not the way to enjoy Corbet's Couloir. At least, for me anyway. I'd wait for some actual snow.

    There is a similar drop in Europe I have done it like 20 years ago snowboarding with Club Med ski instructors, it was in Alpe d'Huez or Val d'Isere. First you had to climb up from the top of a piste. Would not try it now anymore with 57 years of age, a pity, what a rush. Regular black piste crazy enough now.

    That snowboarder said, "What, you all want to live forever!?"
  • @mikephelan5940
    Looks like most people overcorrect turning uphill to slow themselves. Understandable. That’s a scary drop
  • @anthony5227
    Man skiing at this height is such another level.
