I went to Jackson this summer and I rode the tram up and saw it with no snow and it looked insane.  So steep.  I've never done any cliff drops or chute runs before so maybe I'm just being a baby but I'd have to work up a lot of courage to try that.]]> Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:16:17 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41111&PID=892985#892985 Corbet's Couloir : I have 0 balls.

yah avalanches can happen on slopes with a degree greater than 30 degree.  Your avy zone as far as degrees are concerned is typically 35-50 degrees.  Once you get steeper than that the snow tends to not stack up as much because of the fact that its so steep.  Tons of other factors also go into this, past snow fall(a few layers down), recent weather, slope aspect, etc....  All of this is gone over in your typical avalanche course, which everyone who plans on riding advanced terrain really should look into taking.  Especially if you plan on venturing out of bounds. 

Yes there's a cornice but this area is maintained very carefully.  They aren't bombing these areas when the mountain is open because of the fact that yes...what they are setting off is going to run down into terrain below these avy areas.  That being said theres nothing like hearing the guns or bombs going off in the morning...

For more info I definitely recommend checking out www.Avalanche.org  they have a plethura of info and have groups located all over the world.  Get out there and edjumahcate yerselves!

Since it's inbound wouldn't the resort dynamite the mountain or check to see if it's okay before they open that part of the resort.

Even so, it's still the biggest danger.  60 degree slopes are not to be messed with.  And usually, if they bomb it, it slides off anyway.  The bowls at snowbasin would be that way.  Every time they bomb the run it just slides down to the crud. 

It's a lose lose situation with in-bounds riding.

Definitely go for it.
It is a pain having to sign up, especially after some snow when it's a mad dash to get up there in the morning. But you don't have to sign back in after taking the run.
Most of the time the patrollers up there are pretty relaxed about it... and unless you go in there for rental equipment and trip over your own feet, there's no real check for avy gear. ]]> Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:04:00 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41111&PID=890707#890707 Corbet's Couloir : looks like it would be doable... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41111&PID=890554#890554 Author: SnowSurfr

I've put this story on here before, but at BS last year a skiier ripped down the couloir with border collie following him down.  When he got down to the tram line someone yelled, "your dog just rode the couloir better than most people," which was true.

I've seen many pics and vids from the top, and a few crappy one from below and thought "yeah that's kinda rough, but it doesn't look 'that' bad."  The view in that second 90s era pic changes my opinion completely.  Didn't realize the length of the vert portion of the drop in.  Consider me very impressed MT.

but hey, maybe you have got more skills with those things. 

They are my bread and butter.  The big thing is having a spotter and avalanche danger.   I'd kill for that type of terrain. 

It's like hitting cliffs at resorts.  It's a huge gamble.  Usually you need to be the first person through or else someone else is going to side slip the landing down to ice.  A 20ft drop to ice is going to end your season

ummm yey!  I remembered chad had been there... because you know this chick asked to hear all about it... b/c I'm slightly obsessed with hearing about other people's death defying snowboard stories.

If you guys do this... part of me wants to go... on the tram... to video tape it!

I gotta say, the drop-in looks like the scariest part.

I have ridden Jackson before, but this run hasn't been open or conditions weren't advisable.  Was wondering if anyone has done this run before. 
 
Nut up or shut up I guess.


Who's got 2 thumbs and crushed good ol Corbet's? THIS GUY!  Theres a few crappy cell phone pics in my profile.  The drop-in is the gnarly part for sure..after u get past that part its steep n sweet!  As far as the ''danger'' from avalanches go... its in-bounds, and easily accessible.  Any schmo can go over to it and peek over the edge... its avy controlled... so let it rip

EXTREME!!!!! 

That doesn't look that bad.  The biggest fear factor would be the danger of avalanche or that whole wind lip chunking off.
