Of course with every highlight comes a lowlight, or multiple lowlights, as people who don’t quite have what it takes push their luck and wind up tumbling down the legendary run. Tomahawks, yardsales, face plants, and everything in between. We’ve seen it all and these are some of the best of the worst:
About Corbet’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 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
