Behind the Ski Line - #1 - Central Couloir, Jackson Hole

Behind the ski line - Discussion about skiing Central Couloir on Cody peak. Ever wondered what it's like to ski down Central Couloir? I bring you behind the line episode explaining what the snow was like and what I was thinking the day I skied it. Be sure to subscribe for more insights to my ski videos -Owen Leeper

Oh man, brings me back! Skied it a bunch in the 90’s, favorite time was when I met up with Coombs on top and talked him into skiing it with me. I skied in on traditional skiers right, Doug went in high left over the cliffs, totally gnarly… Least favorite time I lost one ski in the narrows, and trying to self arrest lost the other (there was no stopping), controlled slide feet first I planted a foot at the exit and jumped, clearing the rocks. My buddy behind me got my gear, and with a dislocated shoulder skied back over to the bottom of the bowl, back in bounds, and called for the sled! Wish we had GoPros back then! Love watching your vids!

With something that steep, I'm surprised you have that kind of control! Talk about a work out!👍

[@ferdinantlaem4069]

Wow, super controlled jumpturns in a terrain like that. And such a clean bottom air - Just a big wow🤘

[@CBonesey]

Epic. Such a clean air, especially under those circumstances. Solid!

[@Wanderlust073]

Did your heart stop when those little slab chunks started shattering around 1:30? Sick vid as usual. The behind the line concept is great.

[@O_leeps]

Yes, that's why at the top the turns are so slow, always ready to cut out of it

[@gg_2377]

That is one gnarly line and you made it look so easy. keep up the great vids Owen!!!

[@Orville123]

Nice work.Your team are doing a great and important job on keeping that mountain as safe as possible.

[@willymcnamara1429]

[@jasonstrongman1089]

Your a beast brother!! Keep up the good work

[@scottc8350]

Sweet! Earned your turns on that one, and did it with style! Sick line Owen! Enjoyed the vid! Cheers

[@nwsurf3696]

Composure level in technical exposed terrain like that is astounding. Inspiring!

[@brazilianambassadordale8223]

Supreme conditions🤤. Beautiful air too. Love your skiing! It's fun and exciting to go balls to the wall on some steep pow but sometimes you gotta just keep it slow and controlled and with the slabs falling out beneath you as you turned I think it was a good call. Keep up the good work

[@ezpznoob8092]

that peak just looks so cool

[@cvn6555]

You know that this is steep and difficult when this guy has to go slow and take his time like mortals on the in-bounds chutes. All kudos. Great run.

[@nateshrager512]

Awesome, love this as a series idea

[@O_leeps]

[@justinbayola]

[@angushulme7074]

American mountains are so uninspiring relative to the alps...

[@montyjackson9905]

Why would you ski it like that

[@saxonski6146]

POV: Ur jealous

[@montyjackson9905]

@@saxonski6146 jealous of what. Not having to slide down the entire run 😹

[@saxonski6146]

@@montyjackson9905 Bro this dude is a professional skier with insane tricks and backflips of cliffs. And ur sitting here taking a shit on this guy. Honestly ur prob just jealous cuz ur sitting here pizza down a green and u ate shit. Do not take it out on him hes an insane skier with a lot of talent

[@stephenclark15]

a lot of balls, and a lot of skill to navigate that crux/choke at the bottom 1/3 of the line

[@stephenclark15]

videos never do it justice, it's a whole different ball game when you are standing on top of the line looking down
