If you’re not an experienced skier who really knows what they’re doing, there’s a good chance you’re going to eat it while attempting to send Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole. With a 20 foot drop and a 50-degree pitch, the run is easily among the steepest marked in-bound trails in North America.
It’s not impossible to do if you’re not among the best-of-the-best, but it’s certainly difficult. So if you’re going to ski Corbet’s Couloir, we’d highly recommend putting on a helmet while doing so.
