Tough day on the hill for this ski racer who decided to take on Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole. Known as the Jackson’s most challenging run, Corbet’s features a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch which has been humbling skiers and snowboarders for decades.
Entering Corbet’s is a delicate dance and this poor ski racer managed to pull the dreaded 3 wall pinball before sliding backwards out of sight. Got to love a racer who likes to get sporty outside of competition.
Jackson Hole offers diverse terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, but no discussion of this iconic destination would be complete without mentioning Corbet’s Couloir. With a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, it’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 Corbet’s on its way to the top, offering skiers/riders a glimpse of the famed couloir. And if you’re hungry for waffles, check out the famous Corbet’s Cabin.
Access via the Aerial Tram
Accessing Corbet’s Couloir requires a ride on the Aerial Tram, which transports skiers up 4,139 vertical feet in under 10 minutes. Along the way, you’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 Corbet’s, head to Corbet’s Cabin at 10,450 feet to celebrate with gourmet waffles.
