@@tomfagro6744 you and I are just jealous because we'd never have the courage to rock a jean vest like that. Honestly I'm surprised it didn't keep him from falling. His turns after the fall were super fueled by jean vest power.
It sucks that he lost his ski, because his approach to it was spot on. When I skied it, I hit some ice and ragdolled part of the way down. I was bruised a bit, and my ego was bruised even worse. I always wanted to try it again, but never did.
I started skiing when I was 2 years old (I'm nearly 39), and I've been wearing a helmet since my early teens. You spend enough time in the mountains and I guarantee you you will hit something with your head. Totally agree, not wearing a helmet on this sort of terrain in this day and age just seems foolish.
This guy's mind before drop-in: "You can't do this. We're not ready. You're tired. You need something to lean on. You can't do this. You're throwing yourself into something for which you have no discernible talent. This is the stupidest thing you've ever considered. Your knees are buckling. You want nachos. Your weed's gonna get wet." This guy: "Fuck it."
There are two Keys to skiing steeps and moguls. 1. You Have to be confident and aggressive. If you ski defensively, you won't survive it. Your skis will turn into the slope just like this guy's did, with the same results. Your body will be in the wrong place to allow your skis to turn. Your leg angle has to be constantly changing and only a falling upper body can do that. It will also keep your upper body over the tips of your skis. The steering part of the skis. 2. You have to Anticipate where you want your skis to go by throwing your upper body down the hill and away from the direction your skis are going which is across the hill. You have to literally dive down the slope or between the moguls while your skis Follow you down the hill. If you think about standing on your feet and skiing down, you will be at the bottom a lot faster than you intended. 1:00 See where that guy's ski is? That is the point where your entire upper body should be falling straight down the hill while your skis are still going across it. By doing that, you are drastically changing your leg angle which will roll your skis over onto the opposite edges allowing your skis to make the next turn. In All skiing, you ski from your face, hands, chest, pelvis and knees down, in that order. From the top down, not your feet up. If you don't believe me, watch any GS racer in slow motion. The Last thing that changes direction is their skis. Your upper body anticipates where you want your skis to go or they won't.
And well don’t over analyze and overthink it. Like you did. Go for it, keep on your edges and keep enough weight on your inside ski. And don’t just trust your good side. That’s how I was taught. Not much more. And I’m still alive.
@@MrMarckeedee You have to absolutely analyze it, or you will do what comes naturally and that is the opposite of what you have to do. What you suggest is the natural way to approach skiing and you will do everything wrong. Sure, you will turn and be able to stop but, you won't have control enough to handle whatever comes along. Twisting and forcing your skis isn't skiing. Surviving skiing isn't enjoying skiing. You have to know what your skis need from you and give it to them. Nobody teaches that. All the world's teachers do is describe what parts of your body Look and Feel like and call that teaching. No thinking and analyzing involved.
@@MrMarckeedee In stop action, he put too much weight on his inside ski. As he falls you can see he's too far leaning to the left. He was afraid. He's traversing too high. If he were more square, slightly more fall line, he might have been able to transition his inside ski to bear the turn to the right.
Guy touches the side of the snow packed run with head. 30 seconds later the story was he smashed his head int the.rock face all the way on the other side. Unbelievable.
Finally a video where i can actually get a good look at the drop, and plan how i might drop in from there =) Lets put this on mah bucket list. -Aint no mountains in Finland....
Give him his due, he dropped in! When I looked over the edge, and the couloir was chopped crud all the way to the bottom I thought about it for a minute or two and decided this was going to be the road not taken, and cut round to Dogface instead.
Same thing happened to me the first and only time I ever skied Corbet's. I'm sure he probably nailed it the second time. Kudos for even trying. Next time put a brain bucket on!
Better than I would have done it! just slightly late on getting the weight on the front of the skis to make the turn, also if you going stuff like this the binding could be set a littler higher.
5 to 10 spectators and nobody asks the guy if he's ok. Dude could have been severely concussed and still coordinated enough to hike back to his ski, but in no shape to continue the run. One guy sure wants to make sure he gets a copy of the crash though.
I've been to Jackson Hole 5 times in the past decade, and before every trip I tell myself that I'm gonna ski Corbet's, and every trip I ski down to the top of the Coulier and take one look, shit my pants and ski away...
Some of the commits make me laugh, I ski with a group of people who all ski 60 plus days a year, mostly in the tree's, steeps and bumps and are in their late 50s, most dont wear helmets, their fashion is lacking but they all can rip a ski all day long, fashion does not make the skier and yes its a steep run many would turn away from. Looked like the fall did not effect him one bit, sure he ripped the rest of the run, good for him
LOL... Not sure why this showed up on my feed. Could be because I was born and raised in Jackson, watching this brought back a lot of memories. I was raised right at the bottom of that mountain and I have never been on a pair of skis in my life simply because I watched them carry too many idiots down off of there 😂🤗. I'm a coward and can't hardly even get up and down the curb without hurting myself.
I’d rather have peeps talk shit for falling, than fall and get a concussion or a broken bone. I broke my arm at Whistler and it hurt a lot more than my buddy giving me shit
The guy making the video is all mouth. Put your camera down and show us how it's done? 100% to the guys Skiing. Anyone dropping this stuff gets respect no matter what.
This is really awesome...I do not know any similar spot like this in good old Europe. I would shit in my pants even just standing on the edge... :-). My greatest respect to all daring the jump..... Keep healthy and best regards from Europe Tom
Not a couloir but ¨le mur¨ or la chavanette is quite steep, i was there in march 1989 and the moguls were so big in the beginning it almost was a cave system, much bigger then the ones in the video im linking to... look it up here on YT: ruclips.net/video/vHd1pl1-eTw/видео.html
I know I late to the party but I'm thinking that the jean jacket dude is most definitely Donny Pelletier... can't be certain but I most definitely sure ahhyup! He's was just showing you how your supposed to take the couloir.
That guy in running pants and jeans vest... I was willing to bet he would bite the dust. Good luck being cold all day with frozen snow on your running pants
Dude got boxed in the head by that snowpack wall, slid 5 yards, wasn't knocked the ef out, got his own ski, and finished the run. Some say he only fell down b/c he tripped over his own balls.
I watched someone shoulder check that rock wall one day, he though he was mister badass he skied up didn’t look for more than 10 seconds and dropped haha:
At least he dropped in, most people just like to watch. I bet this guy did it again, and nailed it.
Yes sir
Yeah, he looked fine once he got his skis back on. Gotta love that 80s rocker outfit lol.
Exactly what I was thinking. Thats a hell of a drop in tho! It looks like theres a spoon at the bottom before you go into a steep dive.
It's a lot smarter to just watch when you're not good enough. It's dangerous.
I was there that day and he tried again and broke his arm
Tie-die shirt under a jean jacket. Pretty much the greatest ski attire of our age.

Totally agree, too many arm-chair skiers think they can do it but would balk when standing there waiting to drop in.
Only mistake he made was the Jean vest!

Dear poster, your title is wrong. The guy did a great job.
Man dropped in so scared. Respect where it’s due for dropping in at all, but if ur gonna ski smthn like this u kinda gotta be sendy

Okay, that’s great and all, but who let you have the greatest username of all time? Turd Ferguson, it’s a funny name.
I think I would/will approach it much the same way as the guy featured in this clip. Props to you for giving it a go Turd Ferguson!
no, his approach was not spot on. you have to commit to that first turn. you can't lean your upper body uphill out of fear
He has balls and did a good job. I dont like that he's not wearing a helmet. Even professionals wear helmets why can't he?

No helmet tho. Bravery and stupidity isn’t a great combination
@@TheShazMC22 Exactly.
How are you doing..?
His head was protected by a denim vest 🙄

“He lost his ski… And he put his head into the side of the hill“. The best dead pen description possible. Touché sir… Touché
Funny how the guy making the video and titled it “how not to...” but never attempted the drop himself...🤣
Amazing: he only slid 15 feet. Lucky guy!
thats a gnarly drop in....to a big steep!!! props to the badass in the jean vest!!!!
It’s no so much the drop in that is scary, but rather the speed you know you’re going to achieve once you’re in there.
actually it's not that steep once you're in...this dude's speed quickly became zero, lol

This is why i wear a helmet 😂 they have saved me so many times
Did you drop in?
Love the jean jacket and NO helmet. Rock on Garth!!
The fact that he was able to recover from that and get his ski back on is impressive. Usually it’s just a tumble to the bottom.
Uncle Buck... "Hold my beer kids"
I know he probably should've worn a helmet and all but still, why did nobody there ask if he's okay?
I would be dead if I wasn't wearing my helmet when I crashed. People who don't wear helmets are nuts
He did fine. Great recovery IMO.
I think he did pretty well.
