KINGS & QUEENS: THE EVOLUTION OF CORBET'S COULOIR 

**person full slams into a 2 story drop** crowd: "Whoooo!! Yeaah!!"

Shout out to the dude that went belly flop spread eagle and gave me major anxiety

Love it how all of them celebrate someone nearly dying 😂

5:11 truly a one of the kind

Dont worry all deaths edited out and subbed with cheering.

5:09 i have doubts about his sanity...

This event sponsored by Orthopedic Surgeons of America.

3:30 idk if its the camera angle but the way he stopped that rotation is insane

5:09 - failed suicide attempt. Come out “OHHH HOHO YEAH”

They just full send it and land on their faces.

Full respect for the dude that did the bellyflop in the air.

Everyone who falls stand up and smile like nothing happened to him/her. Really awesome.

5:55 that is so gnarly

Shout out to the man that just tweeted himself off the cliff

Legend has it Teton Brown is still trying to land that double backflip

My god some of these wipes are brutal

Hands down the most iconic in-bounds run in the world.

3 years later and I think this is still the best alpine sport video out there

Nothing like these amazing athletes, but dropped in several times in the early 80's. The sheer vertical rock walls towering on both sides of the first 50 yards are freakishly intimidating ... even for excellent skiers. Hard to understand until you're standing on the edge, making the decision. Just watching these videos brings back the adrenaline (and fear :-)). Great stuff ...

5:12 what the fukc

Guy with the blue/orange jacket nailed it, but gotta love the nose butter.

I’m glad I’ve reached a point in my life where I can enjoy watching them and not even think of doing it myself 😊

I have done this twice (when I was much younger). The first time I let myself fall into it and landed on a ledge. After a long wait all my friends left except one because they didn’t think I was ever going to leave. It was so scary with all the cliffs and the steep slope, but I finally managed to do the first turn and after a lot of jump turns made it to the bottom. The second time I thought “I own Corbet’s” and fell starting right from the top. When you fall here you start accelerating, trying not to plant a pole in front of you. Quite an experience!

5:09 Dude just base jumped without a parachute

I’ve been there and it’s nuts. Huge respect for those athletes

I love how not a single skier actually landed a flip. They all looked so beautiful in the air though

Skier's bucket list item right here!!! One day, i'll make this drop.....

4:14 favorite drop beautiful press

I think I’ve watched this video about 20 times by now.

Watching videos like this just makes me want to go and ski!!!!!

There was instant respect for everyone who literally just SENT IT first go. Especially the snowboarders.

1:44 "I don't usually do competitions" - professional skier

5:09 this is my new life goal. Oh my god. Better make sure I take care of any other life goals first though

easily one of the most enjoyable snow sport videos out there; congratz on the idea cause that must have been so much fun for all involved

i love how they still cheered for the people that fell, good sports

Been there twice. Corbett's was closed both times because of heavy snowfall and avalanche danger. I've been skiing basically my whole life and was very good but I'm not sure I could have "made the leap". I'm 51 now, banged up as hell, but Corbett's is still not out of the question but not likely. And Jackson Hole is the most beautiful place on Earth. Everyone should go

Damn i can't get my head around how can you land/fall with such force and don't get whiplash?

Candide Thovex is like "whats special about this cliff ?"

And this is why snowboarding and skiing are the best sports around, just the community and feeling of freedom, makes me proud, now if you’ll excuse me, time to book some plane ticks to Jackson hole mountain resort for this season

What a dope event! It's good to see skiers and snowboarders rocking out together!

65 year old freestyler that in 1979 did a Big Backie of Corbet’s, and skied away from it. The Cedar Hills Minnesota group are world renowned freestylers who still till this day are counting up vertical👽👽

Growing up in the area launching into Corbet's was always a kind of right of passage for people who took skiing and snowboarding seriously. I ate it hard the first time I did it back in like 2003 lol. Glad it was a seriously snowy day...

just watching this, i can feel the history of skiing.... *tears up*

This is such a badass event and video! Thank you and congrats to all involved

That was awesome !!! After 2hrs of watching I still have a goose bumps 😮

The drop at 5:09 is insane!!

My knees twisted just by watching this

5:39 Yard sale!!!

sick event, crazy aerial skills -- thanks for the video

5:08 best trick

Who is also hyped af for this season?

U know their there to have fun when they all start cheering when someone screws up

That was super sick. What a spot what a contest! RAD

Damn!!! I was 13 when I first skied corbet's. Back then, 28 yrs ago, nobody was sending it like this. It was amazing just to see someone hit the lip w speed. Awesome comp!! These folks rocked it.

Awesome! Can't wait for 2019. Jackson Hole is Paradise!

This gave me goosebumps 🔥

5:08 absolutely put a smile on my face

My one time there at Corbets, and I BAILED on skiing this!!! OHHH WHY God???? WHY??? Been many many years now and it is one of the few things I regret that I didn't do when I had the shot at it! GREAT VIDEO!!!

I love SNOWBOARD! Nice video, love that place!

wow some of these moments gave me goosebumps

Outside of people surfing Nazare Portugal, this is one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Love it.

That contest looks absolutely legendary!

So inspirational and awesome 😢

Athlete: **Slams his back flat on the ground from quite big height - all good** Me: **Goes 30 Km/h forward, catches my left ski in the orange SAFETY net and breaks my right collarbone** :)

This makes me feel good ❤❤❤

So great! What a celebration of the season :D

That was beautiful. Seriously. I believe I could ski it but only in the sense of stying on my feet and doing a couple of turns. No tricks. I love to challenge myself with that kind of slope. Thank you.

I love everything about this video.

This was an awesome event. The sends were so huge

Some gutsy athletes out there, beautiful....love JH....love Wyoming

Done Corbet's twice in my life. Once right out of college (after racing in HS and for CU - go Buffs) on a fractured left leg just because I didn't want to pass skiing it on that trip. Did it again for my 40th B'day. Both times involved dropping in from the side with a half turn in air land and then drop in the rest of the way. So the drop looked a bit different than what they showed here. I know 20+ yrs ago it was known as the deadliest run in NA not sure if that holds today. The first time I did that run it had 2 snow ramps on each side from rock walls coming in and if you didn't shoot the gap you would get serious air but 2nd time there I didn't see the snow ramps at the bottom so I guess they changed the bottom of Corbet's right before it opens up into the snow field.

Her commentary at the end was PERFECT!

Super merci beaucoup pour ce moment 👍👍👍👍👌

The biggest free fall I ever did was into East Greely at Alta. It was 60 feet. I was rated expert, expert back then. That was 1980. Now I'm 71 and going back to the hill. No I won't be doing that again :-).

Absolutely awesome!

What a great video and competition. Would love to be there in person to see that craziness!

This video is greatness.

Legit coolest video on the internet

sister and a 12 year younger one. We would drive "up north" for ski weekends, eventually corrupting other friends and families (my mother was the minister of music with six choirs at a 2,400 member Methodist church (huge for the times) and "converted" many to skiing. I was especially "addicted". As my father pulled into the ski resort parking lot, I would be opening the car door to get out while it was still slowing down, to go get my lift ticket and get ON THE HILL!!! I would ski ALL day till closing (4:30) without coming in, if I possibly could. There was a little warming house/snack bar at the top and I would jump out of my skis dive into the outdoor entrance bathroom and come out and jump back on my skiis. My mother would walk out from the lodge food service counter to the chair-lift with a cold hamburger to hand me while I was in line. I'd be the last down the hill just before the ski patrol did their end of day sweep. Then we would all go to one of the area supper clubs after we'd cleaned up. The next morning we'd lobby for one of the parents drive us back to the hill and then they had breakfast in our group rented cabins in the woods. SO MUCH FUN!!! Our families did this through Jr. high and high school into college. When I got married I taught my wife to ski and then our son and daughter. We embarked on one of OUR family activities in the same manner. My son "stole" my skis because he made it to varsity on his high-school racing team and had out grown his equipment. I supported his interest. I was then 65. My sister and brother-in-law were married forty years ago and he was born, raised and they live in Boulder. He recently retired from the Denver Symphony Orchestra after 34yrs and 25yrs as principal cellist in the Colorado Central City Opera Orchestra. My sister was the harp faculty at the University of Denver, first call union harpist and played with the Denver Symphony. They are both 70 and still ski the Rockies. You may WAKE-UP now........

just wow to the athletes, and ouch and phew and outstanding

My god I love all of these people. I need to get to the snow asap.

So insane! Wish I could be there and do that!

I think I will stick to mountain biking

this is number 1 on my bucket list to do

Bucket list destination.

Looks like the best competition I've ever seen

Love this channel

i hope to make it there sometime soon, it must be awesome. go Jess

Jackson is basically my hometown, so in a way, damn this makes me nostalgic

This video is the definition of 'send it' some smooth characters here

Beautiful Place

i can not wait until next week for KINGS & QUEENS CORBET'S COULOIR

*someone breaks every bone in their body falling down* Crowd at the top: WOOOO YEAH LETS GOO👏👏👏👏

I really hope I can go skiing again this winter

That slo-mo backflip gnar-gnar was straight gas!!!

Crazy. Been skiing since 1972 and to see where the sport has progressed is amazing. With the newer equipment and better training it has allowed for mind blowing tricks being performed off this very difficult run. Like to see a competition where the skier has to use 1975 skis with modern bindings. Just a thought :-).

This is SICK!

wow...gonna be there the week of Jan.13th 19 ...cant wait to check it out for real

I got some spine tingles when Hans dropped in

Hello there, oh my goodness superb. This video is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
