This guy had a pretty rough time entering the legendary Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole. The ski run’s 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch has created plenty of viral moments, both when it comes to successes and fails, easily making one of the most iconic areas at Jackson Hole.
Entering the run by carefully sliding down the goat path is usually the easiest way down, but there are still plenty of ways to wind up on your face or butt while doing so. This guy seems to have just lost control for a second too long, getting the tip of his left ski jammed into the wall. Fortunately he was able to avoid the rocks and it sounds like he was alright despite the fall.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s How To Ski Corbet’s Couloir:

Once you arrive, take a few moments to watch how seasoned skiers approach the run—it’s a perfect mix of skill and style (see the video below). Even experienced skiers find Corbet’s challenging, so only highly experienced skiers and riders should attempt to ski the Couloir.
