Jackson Hole’s Corbet’s Couloir is easily among the most iconic ski runs in North America, if not the world. With a 20-foot drop and a 50-degree pitch, Corbet’s is a top location for the best skiers and snowboarders to test and show off their skills.
While the run is a top spot for highlights, its lowlights often do a better job at catching the attention of the world. The only way to know for sure if you can ski Corbet’s Couloir is by skiing it, but some people just don’t quite have what it takes. This guy, for example, seems to approach the run entirely wrong, jumping down the goat path before landing flat on his face. Maybe he should have just kept his skis on the ground…
