This video is just a little view of what goes on in the terrain just outside of Jackson Hole’s boundaries. Â Anyone that watches ski porn has seen the pros properly ride this playground. Unfortunately, events like these happen on a more regular basis.
Pretty much anytime of day throughout the winter, it is hard to avoid the lack of knowledge/skill running around the sidecounrty of Jackson. Â Why is it that Jackson seems to attract such lack of respect for the mountains? Â Is it because the open gate policy, film companies like TGR or just plain stupidity?Â
It may be fun to watch and heckle these want-to-be rippers, but the truth is, they may ruin the fun for everyone else. Â Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is nice enough to allow backcountry access through set gates. It hasn’t always been like this, nor does it have to stay this way. Â The more gapers making foolish decisions outside the gates increase the risk of JHMR shutting our access to the wonderful terrain just outside the ropes. Â So please, people get some knowledge and or skill before trying to slay the backcountry. Â Not only could you ruin it for everyone else, but it could put a quick end to your riding career.
Video:
-Filmed in two runs one afternoon
-Most of Breakneck footage is at 400-800% speed, because no one has that kind of time
-First skier down Breakneck didn’t mean to air last cliff. Â He lost his ski above and fell over.
-Skier 2 and 3 eventually got down Breakneck
