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

This ski video is filmed in Hokkaido Japan in some insanely deep and fresh powder.

The filming is top notch with beautiful lighting and amazing camera angles of people skiing, snowboarding, and telemarking in the Japanese backcountry. The skiers do all sorts of tricks including flips and inversions in the glades as well as above the treeline.

Never thought the skiing in Japan was so good!

For the first ever ski gliding decent of the Eiger mountain in the Swiss Alps, the ski glider used a helmet cam. This first person view of ski gliding provides for some beautiful shots allows you to experience ski gliding as if you were doing it. The ski video is very still and clear too, pretty rare for a helmet cam.

A sweet ski video with some original tricks. A guy does a lateral flip off a cliff midway through the video, there are multiple front and back flips, and inversions. It is snowing almost the whole time as is coming in Jackson Hole and the power is so deep you can barely make the skiers out at times. Although this is filmed by amateurs but it is better than many professionally done videos and they ski as well as most professionals.

Jackson Hole is a dream for many extreme skiers and is one of the world’s best and most famous backcountry ski resorts in the world. The backcountry is huge, open to extreme skiers and riders, is full of an obstacles, and has many unique areas. Some of the world’s hardest and most extreme skiing terrain can be found here. It is however located in Wyoming which makes it hard to get to but in turn creates a much more wilderness skiing atmosphere when compared to the resort type ski resorts.

Out at the top of some mountains with beautiful, clear blue skis, a skier decides to go jump off a cliff. This is no ordinary jump however as he does a back flip while jump off the 100ft high cliff. He executes it perfectly.

The finals of the final Freeride World Tour 2009 tour. The scenery in amazing out in Verbier with only mountains in sight. The weather is bluebird skis that was made for skiing.

Watch some of the best extreme skiing experts compete for the crown. Competition is based on style, fall line difficulty, and speed.

Part 2 of the Team Thirteen production from Bridger Bowl Montana. More incredibly deep powder to make us jealous.

From the movie “The Junkshow Diaries”.

Out in Montana, 16 miles north of Bozeman, there is a ski resort which gets loads of powder. In this vide, the guys skiing are so deep in powder that only their heads barely stick out. It won the 2001 Powder Video Magazine Awards.

It’s every skiers wish to catch a powder day like this one.

A guy crashes while going off some cliffs a the US Freeski Nationals. This is a championship where expert backcountry skiers compete showing what tricks they can do off natural obstacles such as rocks and cliffs. They championship was held in Snowbird, Utah. There’s some nice terrain out there.

This guy’s fall looks painful, but some nice skiing none the less.
