It doesn\u2019t take a POV camera to prove that sending it straight into Jackson Hole Mountain Resort\u2019s infamous Corbet\u2019s Couloir at full speed is sketchy. We\u2019re talking about navigating a 50-degree slope with high walls on both sides. The entrance is a narrow one, no wider than about 10 feet. And of course, getting through the narrow chute requires sticking the landing off of a drop you can\u2019t exactly ease into. There\u2019s a reason many consider it one of America\u2019s most challenging ski runs.<\/p>\n
This is the paradox of the Kings and Queens of Corbet\u2019s each year,<\/a> though. The most insane and experienced athletes there make it look easy \u2014 nothing like an afternoon spent watching the Corbet\u2019s Couloir cam and all the everyday Joe\u2019s who regret thinking they too can send it through Corbet\u2019s.<\/a><\/p>\n A first-person view sheds a far more extreme light on it though. As Yuki Kodano can be heard repeating over and over during a run at this year\u2019s competition, \u201cOh my God. Oh my God.\u201d The drop in point looks even steeper, and that 50-degree slope looks a heck of a lot faster than third-person highlights could ever show.<\/p>\n Not to be a bummer on this party, but I\u2019m too old and lived through too many sprained limbs, one brutal knee injury skiing, and enough concussions to think that I\u2019ll ever stand at the top of Corbet\u2019s with the intent to drop in. I\u2019m am going to go adjust my DIN setting after watching this though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It doesn\u2019t take a POV camera to prove that sending it straight into Jackson Hole Mountain Resort\u2019s infamous…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[54836,53831,43891,9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-230467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-corbets-couloir","tag-jackson-hole-mountain-resort","tag-kings-and-queens-of-corbets","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
