Most people approach Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole by taking the “Goat Path”, a route down the legendary run that requires very little or no airtime whatsoever. Skiers and snowboarders can slowly slide down the path before making one big turn into the couloir, still often tumbling while making their attempt.
If you want to see how someone skis the run with absolute authority, look no further than Blaine Gallivan. Sure one could throw some wild spin or flip into the run, but a massive straight air at full speed is somehow more impressive. Of course he follows it up with a backflip further down the run, because why not?
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.
