New Instagram Account Features Corbet's Couloir's Biggest Crashes
If you’re an avid skier, you know the name Corbet’s Couloir.
The run located just below the upper terminal of Jackson Hole’s Aerial Tram has, over the years, developed a reputation for being one of the toughest in-bounds test pieces in North America.
Is that stature warranted? We think so. While there are plenty of lines that are more technical or difficult than Corbet’s Couloir, the run is easily accessible and highly visible, making it a crowd favorite. The yearly Kings & Queens of Corbet’s competition, an all-out throwdown with some of the best skiers on the planet, elevated its profile further.
And now, thanks to a webcam installed by Jackson Hole, you can watch the Corbet’s Couloir action—and epic fails—from, well, pretty much anywhere.
But if you’d rather see only the highlights than sit around and wait, an Instagram page has appeared chronicling the most memorable moments from the Couloir. Or, more accurately, the most memorable crashes.
Here’s a look. You can also check @corbetscam by following this link.

What is it that makes Corbet’s Couloir so tough?
While pros jump off the headwall during the Kings & Queens competition, it’s possible to enter the line without catching much, if any, air. Still, strong fundamentals are required. The more approachable entrance is steep and requires quick reflexes. If you get scared or timid, odds are good you’ll end up with a faceful of snow and a sore back.
Thankfully, beyond that point, Corbet’s Couloir opens into a relatively wide chute that most advanced to expert skiers can handle.
If you’re local ripper Corey Jackson, you could also turn the headwall into a straight line. In a recent video, he pinned it straight down the gut, perhaps setting a land speed record in the process.

One of our favorites from this category is Sam Kuch’s double cork 1080. That’s another reason Corbet’s Couloir gets the love it does. The choose-your-own-adventure element means everyone, from more casual skiers to professionals, can ski something they’ll be talking about for a long time.
