Back in the 70's, when I lived in JH, people were hucking huge air and doing flips. I skied Corbet's and it is intimidating for sure. But there was one magic morning, only one in 8 seasons that I lived there, that there was NO DROP into Corbet's. The snow was so piled up it was simply a super deep, super steep cruise. Great memories. Thanks for the awesome shoot. Made this old ski bum smile.

Note that at 0:23 the trail signs show Corbet's to the left and East Ridge Traverse to the right. Is there a double-black diamond traverse anywhere else in North America? I took that traverse one time. Crazy. One bad move and you're probably toast. Skied a lot of the chutes at Jackson and that traverse sticks in my mind as one place I will avoid in the future.

I'm glad I am as old as I am and hopefully as wise, I have no desire to do Corbett's as I had no desire or the ability to do it more than thirty years ago when I was at Jackson. I was just awed by the size of the area. These guys make it look so easy or doable. Now in my 70's I only wish????????????????

I know what you are saying - I am a 47 year old progressing skier and I wonder if I'll ever have the skills enough, young enough, to even flirt with the thought of doing it! I reckon at a certain age you'd just say forget it, you either got too old to mess around with it or did not get to an ability level young enough to mess around with it - time just ran out on you. And maybe it's for the best, this borders on daredevil type shit!

Once you're past the lip,it's quite an easy piece for a decent skier, especially in those conditions... Of course the only problem is to get past the lip. My brain knows that jumping it is altogether simpler, but I guess if i'd ever do it, I'll be more like the guy at 1:09 than the guy in green at 4:45
@VisserJoost9 жыл бұрын
you can't drop in by jumping.... Have you been there ?.... It's a straight "fall" it's not jumping at all.... You can "ride out" Courbet with one or two "soft" turns... A quick turn in the beginning makes it a lot "sketchier", then you're flirting with rocks/walls.
@VisserJoost9 жыл бұрын
I see what you ment now.... with the guy in the beginning at 1:09 ....lol. Well, that makes it a lot more difficult. The key is speed (and just balls...). You have to deal with very high speed, if you master that, this is not really a hard "peak"... (It's a cliff fall....) But now I understand what you mean, haha.... Yeah, that's how a lot of people can "check of" Courbet couloir.... (and then tell everybody how they "ripped" it....)
@twochordcool9 жыл бұрын
Yeah, don't know if it's ever easy at any point - but definitely looks like the trickiest part is past you once you are safely 25% of the way down! Looks like if you can land it properly and have your balance on landing you'd be in pretty good shape to ride it out.

Chute 75 at Squaw Valley is similar to Corbett's, (45 degrees, ~15 foot cornice) except you land in a mogul field on 75. Corbett's seems more intimidating because of the rocks instead of trees. Like trees are any softer to hit ;) . Both are very classic steeps.

It wasn't a fail. What you need to understand is that when skiing over drops of that magnitude if you land feet first you'll snap both your legs like twigs, you have to land body first. Whether it be on your side or on your back but it's the only way to land if you want to keep all your bones in one piece.
