JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming – Corbet’s Couloir is easily one of the most intimidating and famous ski trails in the world. The legendary run at Jackson Hole hosts one of the best ski competitions of the year, in addition to giving us some incredible videos to watch all year round (from successes to wipeouts). German ski instructor Marius Quast took on Corbet’s Couloir while on a visit to North America.
“I’ve seen a lot of videos and photos of people doing a backflip into Corbet’s Couloir, but also Corbet’s Couloir fails and falls that looked like a lot of pain. It’s not just the Kings and Queens event that draws attention to this adventure. The story is also exciting: the namesake, Barry Corbet, foresaw that skiers would one day jump into the gorge and ski.“
