Much respect for this brave skier who took the path less chosen at Jackson Hole’s infamous Corbet’s Couloir and sent it from the top ropes like the competitors at The King & Queen of Corbets.
Unfortunately for this skier his decision to forgo the Goat Path proved unwise as he landed on what looked to be a flat section in otherwise steep terrain and was immediately double ejected from his skis and sent cartwheeling downhill.
Land it and ski away from a showtime air like this and you are a certified ski resort hero. Completely self destruct and yardsale on impact, you are still a hero in our book.
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.
