Jackson Hole‘s most famous run is easily Corbet’s Couloir, home to the epic Kings and Queens of Corbet’s competition and a proving ground for some of North America’s best skiers and snowboarders. But that’s not all the Wyoming resort has to offer. Riding from the top of Rendezvous Mountain all the way down to the valley takes you down the longest continuous vertical rise of any ski resort in the United States, all in just one run.
European ski instructor Marius Quast gave the run a try, skiing the entire 4,139 foot drop back down to the base. The video can either be watched with English subtitles or with English dubbed over. Your choice.
