Corbet’s Couloir is easily the most famous (or infamous) ski run at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort but its next door neighbor is arguably the most intimidating.
Depending on snow levels, S&S Couloir kicks off with a 10-20 foot mandatory cliff drop/rockslide and the immediately boots you at high speeds into an extremely the narrow chute flanked by steep rock walls.
Folks who take on S&S are the cream of the crop like local pro Kai Jones who made an early morning descent over the weekend.
When it comes to high consequence inbounds terrain, it is difficult to match S&S Couloir. Cheers to Kai who rode it with fluid perfection. Kai is an incredible athlete, further validated by this footage from the Jackson Hole backcountry when Kai was just 16-year-old and dropped into a 1000-foot couloir.
“With no trail map and limited beta on snow conditions, width/length of the couloir, or the line Kai drops in and solves the problem by straightlining down the monster chute.”
