“Central Couloir in 20 seconds. Sorry for swearing. I was excited.” –Jim Ryan
We will excuse the terse language belted out by Jim Ryan after absolutely greasing Jackson Hole’s Central Couloir as emotions were understandably high. People have skied this line but never quite like this. Tip of the cap to Jim, dude absolutely ripped it:
“I’ve always wanted to flash this line. To drop in and beat the sluff avalanche out the bottom. I knew it was possible but when something hasn’t been done at Jackson Hole it’s probably for a reason. Then I decided to stop thinking about it so much and just ski faster.”
Bird’s eye view of Jim Ryan jaw-dropping run through Central Couloir on Cody Peak in the Jackson Hole side country yesterday! Sub-20 seconds and beating his slough.
