Corbet's Couloir - the right and wrong way - Feb 13, 2020. Jackson Hole Ski Resort - Wyoming

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Best way to avoid the narrow entrance is to come in hot and do a double back flip right over it, then stick the landing in the wider area below.

[@22Epic]

And it's way easier.

[@michaelgrimes5588]

Triple backflip for twice as much ease

[@grizzkid795]

@@michaelgrimes5588 I usually do a triple, but with a double twist and land switch, unless it's powder, then I go bigger.

Yhe, the second guy did it basically how I would take this one on. Use the curve of the first corner to position yourself well and keep speed to not encounter shit like guy-3 did.

His body position was the most important part. He already had is right shoulder dropped and ski lifted up to make the turn as soon as he entered.

Yeah, I agree, hit the turn with speed and you will be up higher, enjoying a longer radius. The chute is essentially cone shaped so going slow means no space.

First time I went to JH it was through ski club while going to college back in the 2000's. There were 40 of us and we rented 2 coach buses and loaded them with 4 kegs each. We had a rolling party the entire way up ... 9 hours of mayhem. A low pressure storm moved in and it absolutely DUMPED the week we were there. The next morning (and first time I hit Corbet's) I was so hung over. Me and some of my buds took the lift up to Corbet's. At that time we were expert critics of all the TGR films and so to my surprise, Micah Black happened to be riding the lift up with us. It was cool as hell. We got the Corbet's and looked over the edge and prepared ourselves for the drop in... Everyone was watching.. my dudes, some babes, I was nervous as hell. I chugged a beer and approached the drop. I dropped in and ripped a back flip off the cornice. I absolutely exploded on impact, bounced, lost one of my ski's, landed upright, and through the grace of god stuck it and rode it out. It was glorious, I was alive, and best of yet I stuck it. (kind of). that night, everyone from ski club knew about it. Suddenly I was a hero. That night at the party I got laid. All the while 2 feet of snow fell that night. We shredded pow, drank beer, and got laid (tried to) the whole week, we were sultans, king of kings. When Im old and on my death bed Ill remember that week.

Don't remember it ever being that crowded. I've skied it when at JH twice (once right after college - CU Buffs - after being part of the national championship ski team - though on dev squad). Back then in 91 it had a ledge you dropped down to by making a 90 degree turn then pop off that with another 90 degree turn in air to land in the chute. Then near the bottom of the chute were 2 rock walls with a narrow gap. The walls would fill with snow to create these snow ramps on either side of the gap. Was a lot of fun hitting the gap at speed. Then skied it on a trip there in early 00's but the rock walls were gone just an open chute. Much less dangerous to ski. Was there in 2020 but it was closed as it was the week before kings and queens and was white out conditions that day so couldn't see what it looked like below. I still think some of the back chutes at crested butte are tougher. Some have large drops. As does that big drop at blackcombe (Whistler). But for a time CC was pretty challenging.

Seems like the best way down for most of these skiers is to get back onto the ski lift, Come back a few years later after a bit more experience

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

people have to know their abilty/limitations. If you have to slip in like a trainwreck...

Can someone explain what's so difficult or intense about this run? I'm sure that the camera/viewing a 2D video on a screen probably make it seem much milder than it is but is it just a very steep passage? Either way, based on all the videos I've seen I'm sure I'd be shitting myself standing above it. I'm sure it would humble me lol

This is with high snow conditions. You have to drop down (or sideslip) into it, and then do a sharp turn and stop yourself. The initial drop is what makes it legendary. On top of that, when there's less snow, its a straight up snow cliff. You have to literally fall off to even get in.

In the late 70s and early 80’s it was a cliff edge drop of 12 to 18 feet......you hit the ground way too fast for good control speed...
