I looked at this in 1989…no chance I was gonna send it. Props to those who did and do. Those Jackson Hole Air Force boys, hell they had no fear launching all over the place on 205cm straight skis. Amazing times, ridiculous skiers - if you haven’t watched the Swift, Silent Deep do it. Great film on some of the pioneers of extreme including the legendary Doug Coombs who the idiots at Jackson banned for skiing OB.

I might hit this but man that looks slick. Maybe on a powder day

I guess it being icy with little snowfall and no sun so you're just seeing white makes it more gnarly, but that's not the way to enjoy Corbet's Couloir. At least, for me anyway. I'd wait for some actual snow.

Man this looks like so much fun. Once my shoulder heels from shoulder surgery then I get the trim ligaments in my knee replaced I might try this!

There is a similar drop in Europe I have done it like 20 years ago snowboarding with Club Med ski instructors, it was in Alpe d'Huez or Val d'Isere. First you had to climb up from the top of a piste. Would not try it now anymore with 57 years of age, a pity, what a rush. Regular black piste crazy enough now.

Man skiing at this height is such another level.

How about skiing it with cross country skis!

Crunch, Crunch Crunch Let’s ski Corbets!!

This is a good video... How to drop in a safe mode.... Its very important to have the DIN level on the ski bindings on a high level probably DIN10 or higher on the ski bindings! It always important to checking the snow condition and learn to handle the snow condition and curves on a safer place than Corbets Couloir... Many people did not now how to ski down like this place with safe technics ;-) I can look at least 2 person of the failur peoples... With a little lession of good technics will be capable to skiing down this Couloir better and more safe. ;-) It is very important not to beeing scared when you skiing down some place like this, because it will be easier to do the right things and technics in a danger position if you are calm, but in focus! If you know how to position yourself in relation to the snow and slope degree, you are also able to use the right technique on for example powder or icy snow condition! I wil trying this couloir if i going to travel to Jackson Hole some times, but it's too fare away from Norway an too expancive :-(

Actually most of the time when people loose skis in the air or when they’re unweighted its their forward pressure that’s the issue. Also they’re called bumps not curves and you will never stop people from dropping into shit they don’t belong, you can only hope they learn from it and take smaller leaps in their skiing next time. (Don’t upgrade from your first black to Corbett’s)

people who ski it on bad snow days are probably there for a short trip and are determined to ski it one way or another.. locals only hit it on pow days

This is it? thats the "deadly" run? Where I'm from, kids would be jumping in to this like mad.

them 1 inch in six days insane me 0 inches 15 years lol

Snowboard is king. Why it’s more people snowboarding?

In my dreams I wanna do this so bad... but I'm too old at this point, and value my life.

clearly you have never skied in the east on a bad snow day, its a sheet of ice all the way down. if its real bad you can see a 1 inch thick sheen of ice cover the actual run.

Not sure how ANY of this was "mixed results" as nobody skied it out. Heck, even the boarder went down but came back up so not so much "mixed". TBH I would have skipped it myself. Old enough to know better

So much for Global Warming. That chute has enough ice to rebuild several glaciers.

Seems to me if you can’t make the two turns needed to ski the top without falling you really shouldn’t be skiing this.

well it s moslty bad skier and bad technic,a good skier will go down this slope easy, it s just to sur estimate yourself just to show off to others

Video first plays showing a skier badly in need of lesson(s) ….many…no business skiing into a chute , let alone anything advanced. AT ISSUE: 1.) No commitment to inside edges. 2.) No idea how to ski hardpack 3.) Elbows locked to the sides resulting in turns initiated with upper body. 4.) “0” up a down movement resulting in inability to upweight and allow skis to pivot underneath….no downweight resulting in skis just washing out… 5.) Skis not working through the turn, or if you will, NOT “kicking the ball down the fall line”, resulting in tails washing out and total inability to ski Hard Pack and ice…it’s a trick, you push forward and then bring them back under you…along with a beveled ski edge 88 degrees, you actually ski hard pack and ice. Flat light days like this are best enjoyed skiing trails below, subalpine zone not the treeless Alpine Zone where vegetation is absent and you have no depth perception…also Goggle Lens Choice is critical, Yellow or Orange, or you could go clear with Yellow Shooting Glasses… All in all, it’s sad to see people spend a fortune to go skiing and do it so poorly, and display terrible judgement going into a chute on a flat light day endangering themselves and others…. Learning to ski, and improving is 90% mental, and 10% physical….with the Olympics on these weeks, do you think those skiers are concentrating? On what? if you concentrate you must be concentrating on something…if you go skiing and are totally unaware of what to concentrate on than you are not only not going to improve much, but you present a danger to yourself and others…there is no sport you can achieve speeds like this in locales full of danger, and have clueless people surrounding you, most of which don’t even wear a helmet….

Much of what you say is correct in terms of the flaws of the individuals in the video. But this run is basically set up as an extreme "challenge" for the best of the ordinary skiers. Its a legendary run, but its very possible for many people without the best skills to sort of do it. There is danger in doing the chute, but not extreme danger.
