Skier falls down the entirety of Corbet's Couloir

Corbetโ€™s Couloir has a rightful reputation for humbling highly skilled skiers who attempt to slide into its mandatory 20 foot drop with a 50ยฐ pitch. One mistake and it a wrap.

If you mess up the entry, the best case scenario is you end up laying in the snow mildly embarrassed not far from the top, but if youโ€™re like this poor fella you lose all your gear and go on an uncontrolled hell ride (multiple cartwheels) down the entire length of one of the steepest inbound slopes in North America.

No telling how long it took this guy to collect his gear but this may have been a day ender.

About Corbetโ€™s Couloir:

Jackson Hole offers diverse terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, but no discussion of this iconic destination would be complete without mentioning Corbetโ€™s Couloir. With a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, itโ€™s one of the steepest ski slopes in North America. Known as one of the craziest ski resorts, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort brings skiers from around the world to test their limits on this legendary terrain. The Aerial Tram cruises right by Corbetโ€™s on its way to the top, offering skiers/riders a glimpse of the famed couloir. And if youโ€™re hungry for waffles, check out the famous Corbetโ€™s Cabin.

Access via the Aerial Tram

Accessing Corbetโ€™s Couloir requires a ride on the Aerial Tram, which transports skiers up 4,139 vertical feet in under 10 minutes. Along the way, youโ€™ll catch a glimpse of the stunning Jackson Hole terrain park and take in 360-degree views of the Tetons and the Jackson Hole valley. After skiing Corbetโ€™s, head to Corbetโ€™s Cabin at 10,450 feet to celebrate with gourmet waffles.
