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

Ski video of extreme skiing in some crazy deep powder in the backcountry of various places. Produced by Level 1 productions. Some sick skiing and boarding in some sick terrain. This is how backcountry skiing was meant to be done!

Let the 2009-2010 North American ski season begin!

Pro backcountry skiers and snowboarders, Glen Plake, Mike Hattrup, and Scott Schmidt ski in some champagne powder in the backcountry of Revelstoke, located in the Rockies of British Columbia. Revelstock opened in 2007 and has the highest vertical in North America. These professional extreme skiers however heliski and cat ski on Revelstock to get to virgin snow.

In this extreme skiing video, there is not only skiing but also some telemarking and snowboarding. There are some beautiful shots of the area if you want to see how the Revelstock Panorama and skiing terrain looks like.

Here we have a Mt Blanc glacier ski video filmed on the Brenva Glacier in the backcountry of Chamonix. For those who don’t know, Mt Blanc is the highest peak in the Europe and is located in the French Alps, close to the Swiss border. The town of the resort is Chamonix and is well known as one of the best ski resorts in the world.

The snow skiers in this video ski do some hiking using freeride binding that unhook at the heel and then ski down some incredible steeps in the glaciers in powder only found in the backcountry.

Note that most of the skiing starts after the half way point of the video.

From the many Colorado ski resorts that exist, Aspen is one of the best. This video shows some downhill skiing in the Colorado’s backcountry in some fresh powder. The terrain is pretty open and looks amazing.

Professional skiers jumping over a gap doing many crazy tricks such as 1080 inversions, flips, grabs, and many combinations. If you’ve played the tony hawk type games on the different consoles, the tricks these professional skiers do in this extreme skiing video are very similar.

The jump is man made at Whistler, in the Rockies. The gap I estimate is about 5m, and the skiers are in the air for a good 3-4 seconds!

60cm (24 inches) of fresh powder makes for some amazing skiing conditions in the extreme skiing video filmed in the backcountry in Alta, Utah. Alta is famous for its backcountry and amazing snow conditions, the extreme skiers in this video know how rare conditions like these are and take full advantage of them. This is close to Salt Lake City, where the 2002 Winter Olympic Games took place.

The ski is blue and the snow is fresh, making for some of the best filming conditions. The skiers in this ski video don’t do anything crazy or any cliffs, but they have near perfect form and there is a bit of glade skiing too!

Some beautiful backcountry ski footage in Hurrungane, Norway. These guys ski down the craziest steep I’ve seen. It’s a sheet of snow over some rocks at a slop that is probably over 75 degrees! These guys show us what ski touring is all about.

This extreme skiing video is filmed in the three valleys area in Norway. The valleys are: Skagadalen, Riingsdalen, and Styggedalen.
