Jackson Hole‘s ski season has already come to an end, but not before several skiers and snowboarders combined their on-mountain skills with their driving skills. These guys brought the Augusta National energy to the legendary Corbet’s Couloir, smacking several balls around the mountain to celebrate the end of the season.
This annual event, called the Buddy Bader Invitational, is easily one of the best end-of-season ski/snowboard events out there, combining two fantastic past times into one for the sake of enjoying the spring weather. It’s hard to imagine a better way to take advantage of the peace and quiet of our favorite mountains.
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
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.
