This is how I forever remember this slope and how I choose to remember Jackson. Good moods, encouragement, cheering when you tackle Corbets well.

Stopped in Jackson during a family road trip way back in 1999. Rode up the tram, and walked over to get a look at Corbet's. I was a pretty good skier 25 years ago, but even then, it looked insane. Would like to meet the first guy who looked into this chasm and said "Yeah. This is definitely doable"😮

I was there the week before during a huge storm, and it made conditions dangerous to even go over there. So, I didnt get to ski Corbets, but had fun throughout the rest of the mountain. Thanks for the video!

Send it or blend it xD ... idk why it‘s entertaining to watch people slugging that couloir

First guy: wait, this ain’t GREEN!

The next morning it’s a sheet of ice.

"Put some more powder in there for em'"... LOL!

One thing video can not convey is the massive buzz you get from doing these runs. Standing at the top ready to go is like confronting a fire breathing dragon. Obviously you have to have a good skill set and fitness level to ski a couloir. On top of that you have to be confident of the fitness and skills you've developed and go for it. If you take it too cautious you will crash- just the same as if you go too hard. There's a right amount of aggression needed to not embarrass yourself. On the other side if your not challenging yourself your just going through the motions. The perfect run for you is the one where it challenges your skills. Challenging your skills means your still able to ski it (lots of turns) -as opposed to just trying to get to the bottom/cheating your way down. If your just "trying to get to the bottom" then your over your head and your not going to get better. Skiing is really about the turns -lots of turns. Besides taking lots of turns is more fun...

Ive only ever skied at a few places close to home (western Pa) and they aren't very challenging. All of the runs are short and the blues are so easy, sometimes just going all out to the bottom is the only thrill. I always try to spend most of the days on the black diamonds which are only moderately long and difficult and focus actually skiing (lots of turning). But even those slopes are able to be skied straight to the bottom with few turns. I really need to branch out. I picked a bad couple of winters to rediscover the sport. Lately I've really been craving an adventure out West.

Aside from the crazy entrance and the name, I almost wouldn't even consider Corbets a couloir. Take away the top and it's the easiest couloir I've seen. When I think of couloirs I think of Big Couloir at Big sky. Long and really steep flanked by rock walls. Like the many couloirs of Europe. At Alta they have the Baldy chutes which seem more like couloirs to me than corbets too.

Run is beat street and rutted out. Arm chair skiers need to recognize most are just spectating and moving on. Give props to anyone dropping in there on this day. I am sure the pros 2 days before were hitting it with freshies.

Would it be easier to just hit the drop where the dude ends up standing toward the end of the video? Just drop straight in 15-feet, straight shot past the rocks? Wouldn't that be easier than sideslipping down an icewall?

If you are going they above your skill just go all in... Avoid the steep wall and turn through rocks... Just jump strait ftom the top andavoid that hard part :D At both methods you are gambling!
