Here’s an awesome aerial ski video of Frank Bare back in 1983. First, the ski video shows him and his bodies putting the finishing touches on the ramp in the backountry. you Frank Bare is an amazing aerial skiing and does one of the craziest aerial ski tricks, a quadruple backflip. That is four full backflips, which involves triple twisting!
Here is a video of a crazy ski jumping accident that happened at a World Cup Event in Zakopane, Poland held in January 2007.
There were strong, variable winds causing problems for the ski jumpers. In this ski jumping video, Jav Mazoch, one of the competiors, seems to be doing fine after taking off from the ski ramp. Then, a fluke air pocket causes him to lose lift and he takes a terrible fall.
He ended up being in a coma and had some brain injuries but has since recovered and has resumed ski jumping.
Just added a new section under learning to ski with videos on how to stretch before your ski trip, at the start of your skiing day, and at the end of you day.
More videos to come soon, for now, check out the video on how to prepare for your upcoming ski trip and get pumped up for the snow!
Four Great Ski Exercises to Prepare for that Ski Trip!
Here’s a funny ski jumping video of a hilarious accident. The skier jumps of a 2m high ramp in the backcountry trying to land on a landing that’s higher than the jump. He fails to clear the gap, mistaking the speed required to clear it, and crashes into the wall of snow head first! This video is legendary.
Corbet’s Couloir is the most famous and hardest run at Jackson Hole in Wyoming. It is one of the few slopes to have its own wikipedia article! Here are some highlights:
“Currently rated #4 on the top fifty things for skiers to do before they die, it holds an international reputation among expert skiers, and has been described as “America’s scariest ski slope”
“Entrance into the couloir requires dropping off a cornice with a free fall ranging from 10 to 30 feet (9.1 m) depending upon snow conditions, landing on a 60 plus degree slope.”
So it’s pretty hard. In this ski video, we see the guy skiing up to the ski run, past a big “CLOSED” sign. They chill up at the top and watch a guy ski down it nicely. The camera man’s friend then jumps in, doesn’t look too good. We are then informed that he “yard saled” and see him collecting his equipment. Ends up he has an ACL injury, that sucks. Awesome run though!
Crazy skiers dropping 200+ feet on skis. Check out the 2nd one, he almost hits a huge rock at the bottom, must be inches away from it! The mini avalanches he creates while getting speed for the jump are pretty cool. The highest is 245 feet. I can’t imagine what goes through their minds as they jump…
If you are wondering why they are landing upside down but slightly on their backs after the cliff drops it’s because the force of the landing will probably break their legs.
Here’s the name and height of each crazy high cliff jump:
- Titus Engelborg ski jumps off a 210 foot high clif
- Leo Brayman sk jumps off a 230 foot high cliff
- Jamie Pierre ski jumps off a 245 foot high cliff

Some sweet video shots of deep powder skiing in the glades at one of the best ski resorts on the East Coast. The riders know what they’re doing as they fly between obstacles. Can’t stop talking saying good things about Jay Peak, most snow in the East (32 feet!) and lots and lots of crazy expert ski terrain in the woods.
It’s normally hard to get decent video out in the forest but these guys do an amazing job. There’s a close moment in the middle of the video where a rider does a cliff drop in the glades and almost lands on another riders, but nothing happened.
“I love Jay but I’m Not Gay”
