The hardest part of Corbets is the drop and in this case the drop was eliminated with the sidelipped "road" carved out of the drop. The one and only time I looked over this drop in the 80's it was a vertical BIG serious drop. I skied around the easy way.
Seen so many videos from this now I feel I just have to go. Seems to me that often its a bit hard snow in the landing and that gives riders some sick speed, if there on a good powder day I don´t think it will feel as sketchy.
Sam is right. The worst part of this thing is that bobsled run everyone cuts. Ski the outside of it where the snow is better. Take a little more speed, but it leads to success!
I‘m not afraid of steeps, but I'm afraid of rocks. I can tumble down steeps, but I can't hit the rocks. Tumbling down steeps can be thrilling, hitting the rocks might put me in a wheelchair.
Can you imagine Corbet's Shaneequa? She'd throw a pan of hot grits on your chest in your sleep then chase you down the street with a butcher knife. Give me Karen any day. She'd smell better, too.
Past the drop in doesn't look bad, I think if there was no road and you could just make your way to tje middle or left of the bowl thingy you could make a jump turn and just traverse your way back in. Instead of making a wider turn like that
@@thopkins2271 Honestly I would say the same. A ski guide is by any means a professional skier. Equivalent to golf, where you have playing pros and teaching pros
Here in Crested Butte we occasionally find mountain climbers to introduce an aspect called “protection” as in a short rope to get into runs at the top. Like how not to die?
its not that crazy if it wasnt as narrow and any rocks sticking out lol. If you make the mistake of turning too early or quickly you hit that rock and go flying. Or lose balance and backflip ragdoll down the mountain lol
If you are not going to chute like a boss do not try it.. I jump stsrt this run like this it just means it is out of your league.. you better go and have fun somewhere else in the mountain and avoid any undesired injury.. 4real..! I am not bragging I am just being reasonable..
He did it and looked good. I’m not sure how you think it’s supposed to be done by non competitive acrobats in their 20’s? But you just witnessed a nice run.
I think he looked good. I got some bad news for you. You will not be young and super fit without injuries for long especially if you ski difficult terrain. All of us older skiers are beat up and you will too. Its ok we are all still hitting the steeps still just not airing it out anymore. Its all good.
love to see you try it, probably couldnt do any better. Or you would ragdoll down the mountain like 90% of the people who attempt this for the first time
I think Sam was my ski instructor 4 years ago when I took a trip out to Jackson. What a guy, very knowledgeable and friendly.
“Oh no I’m comfortable” -a legend 😂
Comfy
he said comfy

There's an easy way???
Gotta love those “bunny runs”
Yeah lmao I was doing this stuff with a full cork 1080 out of the womb. Ametures

I don't think you're alone. It's probably somewhat safe to say that there's not a person on the planet that enjoys falling on rocks.
Tumbling down steeps can be thrilling, hitting the rocks can be killing
Corbet's Karen!

A couple of them.
spotted
It’s called the ski instructor entrance
Go that way really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
Exactly!
Do you know the street value of this mountain!
I've never seen the drop in this good in any other video. most of the time that goat path is like 75 degrees of hardpack.
I prefer going in from the left side
once you commit, your committed.
"dont hit the rock", got it thanks for the tip lol

Know a Ski Patrol member who drags out the frozen dead.
When in doubt, aim for the white part
Well, that's one Big Ass, narrow, steep and rocky Bunny run then!!
I mean if the conditions are good, you could just send it from the top lol, there was a video about a ski competition there
That's the nicest execution on Corbet's I have seen by a non professional skier.
To be fair, he makes his living skiing and teaching skiing. He’s a pro. Not competitive I guess.

Good old Sturgie
Someone’s got a groupie lol.

That was cool!!!
Maybe Sam can meet me there when I go and show me the perfect beta!
Omg !!😂😂😂no comment
or just practice but thats just me
a bunny run haha
This honestly isn’t that crazy. Pick your line, commit, and go for it.

return he-fish from highlands into the river !
"Oh no I'm totally comfortable." Are u?
Yeah, he definitely was...moron.
this lady is clueless ;D
But...why..
huh?
Strap some skis on and go find out.
Scarry slow skiing, boys :)
lol... this is bunny run

Are you jeans gore-texed?
You need to look up the word reasonable.
He isn't even starting from the top.
What a mess. Love how he gets off the steep and thinks he's lookin good

He skied it well, looked very good. Maybe not a good time to be dropping of the lip with the rock showing up like it is.
love to see you try it, probably couldnt do any better. Or you would ragdoll down the mountain like 90% of the people who attempt this for the first time
