Skier breaks physics in Corbet's Couloir.

Skier Tristen Lilly had quite the entrance at the King’s and Queen’s Of Corbet’s Couloir competition held earlier this month at Jackson Hole. Typically when someone hits a jump, you expect their spins or flips to physically make sense, but I can’t quite wrap my head around this one.

Tristen took home third place in the men’s ski category at the competition, likely because he wiped out towards the end of the run. If he had held it all the way through, I personally would have called that the best run of the competition. The initial trick into Corbet’s was certainly the coolest.

And if you’re thinking, “surely his perspective will help it make sense”, you’re dead wrong. It looks like he’s spinning out of control through the air, but he’s completely in control. It’s truly unbelievable.
