In this funny skiing video of a ski accident, a skier goes onto a race course while a racer is training. The skiers collide in a horrible but funny way and the racer seems to be about to hit the other skier with his ski pole but holds himself back.

This ski video is a textbook example showing why one should stay away from ski racer training courses!

The ski accident in this video was filmed in Poiana Brasov, a ski resort in the Carpati Mountains in Romania. A really nice ski resort very different from the huge ski resorts in the Alps.

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!

In terms of extreme skiing competitions, the Winter X Games is the best known. For the last 8 years, it’s been held in Aspen Colorado and attracts some of the best extreme skiing and snowboarders from around the world.

In this extreme skiing video, Jon Olsson and Simon Dumont compete for the gold in the finals if the Big Air Skiing competition. Jon Olsson does an inverted 1080 while holding a grab the whole time, he also takes off and lands backwards. The second extreme skier, Simon Dumont does a front flip like it’s nothing on the run up to the big air jump. Off the big air jump, he does another front flip, then, while doing the second front flip, does a Superman. Both jumps are executed flawlessly, and the landings are perfect.

—-> FUNNY <—-

Also, for a laugh, check out 1:44 of the video where the camera man falls off the jump, LOL.

A skier gets stuck on a ski lift and is seen hanging off it by some piece of clothing. What happened was that the skier tried to get off the chairlift but his coat got stuck, leaving the dangling skier hanging high up. The skier eventually falls off the chairlift onto the snow, some 5 meters below and is immediately attended to. The unlucky skier gets hurt, but he escapes the ordeal with only minor injuries.

I suggest you mute the music on this skiing video. Apart from the music, the ski crashes in this video are mostly of ski racers but it does include a sweet video clip of a skier skiing down an avalanche between two cliffs. There are some funny and embarrassing ski crashes in this video as well as some that just have to hurt.
