"Corbet's Couloir is considered by many to be the most difficult ski run on the continent. With a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, the margin for error is slight and the consequences of blundering are severe."
"Most skier will chose the relatively conservative approach of keeping their skis on the ground and slip sliding down the Goat Path which is still quite challenging in the best of conditions. For some though the obvious choice is to gain as much a speed as possible on the in-run, launch off the ledge and hope for the best."
"Accessing Corbet's Couloir requires a ride on the Aerial Tram, which transports skiers up 4,139 vertical feet in under 10 minutes. Along the way, you'll catch a glimpse of the stunning Jackson Hole terrain park and take in 360-degree views of the Tetons and the Jackson Hole valley."
Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is considered the most difficult ski run in North America, characterized by a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch that leaves minimal room for error. Skiers can navigate the Goat Path as a conservative approach or attempt to launch off the ledge at high speed. The resort uses videos of failed attempts as cautionary examples of improper technique. Access requires the Aerial Tram, which ascends 4,139 vertical feet in under 10 minutes and provides panoramic views of the Tetons and Jackson Hole valley. Corbet's Cabin at 10,450 feet offers gourmet waffles for those completing the challenging descent.
