I mean it's pretty much impossible to have a substance stay the exact same in heat vs cold. There will always be a bit of warping going between extremes it's just the nature of our world.
Wow I think the most impressive thing about this is hitting these lines on skiied out terrain. When it's fresh tracks, the snow is more predictable (barring avalanche danger) and softer obviously. Wow this was insane.
Corbett’s, for many skiers, is an Everest of sorts. I’ve done it thrice in my life and while it’s not that exceedingly difficult for expert skiers, it does require (for most) a methodical line, and a lot of confidence. You’re looking at anywhere between a 10-30 foot drop at any entry point. And really, once you get past that entry point, it’s pretty easy. With all that out of the way HOLY CRAP what an incredible run. Most people will stand at the edge, carefully planning their lines. I’ve never seen a person just launch themselves like that (even though I know a lot of planning went into making that jump). Very, very impressive!
I started skiing in the mid 80s and we all watched Warren Miller ski movies and skied 206 cm boards. We hit the biggest stuff we could find at Grand Targhee, Jackson Hole, Snowbird, Alta, and the like. Then Greg Stump blew our minds with the Blizzard of Ahhhs and we saw ski heroes like Scot Schmidt, Glen Plake, and Mike Hattrup. Since then the equipment and the skiers just keep getting better. This stuff is insane - I love watching these guys ski. Rock on!
+sergei291 Speed is so much more exciting on skis though. I regularly go 150km/h+ on my motorcycle but the adrenaline doesn't come close to when I clocked myself to 96km/h on skis.
When I first saw this a couple of years ago, I immediately recognized the location even before he clicked in. So, when he started towards Corbet's with speed, I got real interested. I figured he'd fake towards Corbet's, then at the last second make a huge GS turn to the right, spraying all the looky-loos standing around the entrance. But, when he stayed on his line and kept accelerating, I started to panic. My thought was maybe the dude's not local and doesn't know he's headed straight for a freaking cliff. But then I thought heck, it's a UA-cam video. He's obviously not going anywhere near Corbet's because they can't show bloody mounds of quivering flesh on UA-cam. What the heck am I watching? And Why Is He Not Slowing Down?! WHAT THE!! When he blew right past the entrance at that speed, and flew off the very cliff edge that tens of thousands of riders the world over have backed away from for decades, my insides felt like they fell out. I could NOT believe what I was seeing. Then he landed that impossible drop, AT SPEED, ON HARDPACK. It was clear to me this video was either CGI or someone had posted video of an alien's ski vacation to our planet. Whatever the truth, after more than 30 years of skiing, I've seen tons of amazing things ON and IN snow. But, nothing has blown my mind more than what Gallivan did here. Absolutely incredible.
There are quite a few guys who hit corbets blind now. It's always roped off though so people won't accidentally do it. Can't say I ever did it. Dropping in is good enough and you can get up to a 40' drop depending on where you go. That is enough for me...
speechless. just flat out one of the most exciting runs ive ever seen in 100 million years of skiing.ive skied part of that. sofa king creative ONTOp of your skills !!loved it. way to live!
Holy crap! Like that line wasn't impressive enough, it's on hardpack. Never seen footy of anyone dropping Corbett's that big. And it's HARDPACK! Nice job man.
that's incredible.....super talented...flight into Corbett's was looong....snow was super crusty....think i tore my meniscus just watching....safe turns to all....
Imagine that you have 0 cookies and split them evenly among 0 friends. How many cookies does each person get? See, it doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.
Obviously good to keep the poles with you, but I do know someone that broke his thumb because his pole got caught in a tree and the strap pulled his thumb back quite nastily, so I'd be careful having them on around trees...
My knees broke four times while watching this clip. Unbelievable skills and control
nah this is ez
@@alexanderkiss7595 its so hard bro stop thinking u can do it nobody here can do it
Wow, I drop my skis to the snow exactly the same as this guy. The similarity ends there unfortunately.
😅😅
Everyone drops them like that
@@mrki1261 that was the joke
Hope this guy wins! Dropping into corbets on a hard pack day takes some guts!!
+Armada i hope he wins too. it is also more impressive cause he's blind in one eye
+Armada and the flip at the bottom to boost!
Dropping into Corbets Any Day takes Guts.
That wasn't exactly dropping into Corbets. That was more like launching into Corbets. Balls of steel.
@@TS1207-g9y More like launching into orbit, jesus christ
At the start I was like I can do that
Then he drops of the cliff
Alex Bainbridge cliff drop XD
I can do rodeo 360 just learned
Alex Bainbridge haha
That was corbits ive skiiid there
Alex Bainbridge, u mean Corbet’s right?
Not the best of adverts for the helmet bracket
for some reason that happens when they get rly cold.
I want to know how he knew it was out of place and then how he got it back so perfectly on the fly
Song 0:37
Needs some redesign

yeah the part where he shreds that gnarly looking ice and does a 360 was absolutely mind blowing
Who else gets hyped for the 2016-17 season after watching this?
Joey LaPlaca meeee but im waiting 5months
had my first season day today
bigPianist99 lucky
I've got it this weekend 1 day to get in the mood a little,then a month after probably 1 week in Austria :)

Lukas Im late. But same. That scared the crap out of me frfr
i shitted my self when he hit the first drop lol

i believe the word is shat
Xantumorian shitted 😂

3 2 1 drop...into a nice gradual decent...oh wait holy shit
Exactly my thoughts
Nick Savage ii
exactly :D
I was like oh yeah ive done that before prob went faster!!! And then boom, nope nope nope
No swearing I’m a kid
OK I'M TRADING MY SNOWBOARD FOR SKIS NEXT WINTER
Hi Ben, love your videos and I would give skiing a go, it is a blast
Come and ski with me in Chamonix (mmmm... That rhyme)
holy crap, its the real One lol....love your vids ben, I'm always happy when I get the notification :)
more freedom on a board? boarding is really fun, way more chilled, you can go in way harder on skis though! trust
telemark skiing is where it at dude
and now in 2019/20 they drop it with a double backflip lol
It’s so crazy how much Corbet’s has evolved recently. at this rate, in another decade or 2 people might be throwing quads over it lmao
Kings and queens was crazy
Yh kings and queens gets better every year
Dub 10 as well
F
How can he even ski with balls that heavy?
ikr
Because the more weight you have the faster plus you have less fear😉
gravity will pull him down
Elijah Romo thanks
@@andreashoppe1969 In fact his balls will pull earth down

Bruh, I ski double blacks without stressing but here I am sitting in my chair absolutely mind blown, this man is insane
Fist time I've seen footage of someone riding Lib Skis
Also, pretty sure he hucked this further than the TGR athletes did in their Corbet's video.
Sean Hartford l
Me too wtf hahaha i ride K2's
@@revengecryzer3003 Yea, but do you ride them like Blaine?
0:51 Imagine a reaction of the guys on right when he jumped down
NO WAY 😂
0:54 the peoples reaction to this guy jumping off a cliff must have been priceless
Thats what skiing is all about people! Speed!
no it's not! It's about smoothness, excitement technique and thrill.
+Chaaos2 get a motorcycle for speed.
sergei291 im comparing it to snowboarding ;)
Chaaos2 ohh, fair enough then :)
+sergei291 Speed is so much more exciting on skis though. I regularly go 150km/h+ on my motorcycle but the adrenaline doesn't come close to when I clocked myself to 96km/h on skis.
ok this was defiantly worth line of winter
Let the line... drrrrrop?
Best downhill video ever made!
At least now I know how to put on skis, thanks Blaine.
Pretty much

it's think it's the speed itself that made it possible in those conditions

this line is nuts but I would recommend watching kings and queens. It's 40 other people doing the same thing as this guy it's quite something,
After he went off the second I was convinced that this would be a good run
I just need to go to the mountains immediately!!
at 2:26 the following sequence is so cool with the tilted camera and the musical climax. It's perfect the way his shadow is.
getting better every year holy shit this years line of the winter was incredible! that first drop was breathtaking
speechless. just flat out one of the most exciting runs ive ever seen in 100 million years of skiing.ive skied part of that. sofa king creative ONTOp of your skills !!loved it. way to live!
That sounded pretty damn hard. Dude has freakin titanium knees!!
0:51 people be like "Mother of god, what the hell is wrong with this guy?!"
song - Blues Saraceno - Devil Got you beat
God bless you and your family
Fav video so far on youtube :)
I love Jackson Hole! Go there every year!
1:23 “Bruh keep looking forward I have a LOTW to win.”
0:27 One of the best feelings hahaha
As a skier myself, I give mad respect to this man's legs to charge that run that hard with no breaks.
Oh how i miss this
Time to start ski this Winter 2019/2020
Dropping in on Corbets like that is an amazing start to this clip.
Holy crap! Like that line wasn't impressive enough, it's on hardpack. Never seen footy of anyone dropping Corbett's that big. And it's HARDPACK! Nice job man.
LETS GET THIS TO 1 MILLION VIEWS
0:56 that was prob the sickest shit I’ve ever seen a skier do tbh!!
Oh man Jackson Hole looks amaze.
i'd be so mad if my gopro didn't capture the run hahah
THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY
Corbets with hard pack, at that level? My knees would just blow out. Sick vid!
Me: sees black on the board.
My brain: *LACTOSE FREE BLACK DIAMOND CHEESE STRINGS!*
"You did WHAT into Corbet's?!?"
This is the most incredible thing I have seen on skis or in GoPro
how do u even land without breaking your knees
Ummm I don’t know
1. Knees bent.
2. Land on a really steep slope like this guy did.
I think it takes a certain level of insanity to not hurt yourself.
this is the most radical thing ever
0:54 everything just got real
Wicked awesome run dude! Jackson Hole definitely is on my bucket list!
At the start I am like “ok”, when he jump at 10 meter of the cliff I am like “who sort of leg he has”
So raw. But so good. Worth the award
This man literally just hit them with a “I’ll catch up with you later”
That humunguious drop at the beguining is sooooooooon scaaaaarrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😨😨😨😨😨😰😰😰😦😦😯😯😯😦😦😦😯😯😯😯😮😮😮😮😮😮😧😧😧😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
I love how this just starts reasonably mundane, just cruising along some off piste and just suddenly DROPS OFF A FREAKING CLIFF
congrats on making the right choice
2019 anyone?
that was a MASTERPIECE
so THAT'S how you drop into colbert's coulier
As a Floridian who has never seen snow up close, this looks amazing
That was a big drop lol, sick
wonderful performance thanks for sharing..
Trying to gauge how fast he is going when he lands in Corbett's. 60+ mph? Dude is nuts, but amazing!
your gonna turn winter into summer because your so lit
0:53 у меня сердце в пятки ушло =))))
that's incredible.....super talented...flight into Corbett's was looong....snow was super crusty....think i tore my meniscus just watching....safe turns to all....
So sick
Hella sick music and the steezy drop Never seen someone ride that run that smoothly
0:49 omg 😱
Each year I come back to watch ski video's, and I fking like it
0:52 my stomach...
That's a serious drop , crazy, love it!
He should have won
I'm not usually that into skiing videos but this one was epic.
This guy dropped into corbetts couloir no problem... Wtf man!
Not to mention, going damn fast.
Not to mention on the crusty cold day..
What you need is a ton of speed, then it’s a piece of cake.
This was insane!!!!!!!!
don't try this at home
watching in the summer at the very start that snow looks soooo good
so who got the money I hope this guy
***** i refuse
TheHappyRider thats not funny
Tucker Steward y so serious guys? comon
TheHappyRider because when you get blown up by them will you think it is funny
+TheHappyRider allahu akbar!
Dude that first jump was sick!
Imagine if he only filmed his goggles
That was insane!!
My study shows that skiers and Leo Taillefers have a 75% chance of winning line of the winter.
Sorry snowboarders
"Leo Taillefers" lol xD but yea in general skiers just charge harder, loving when boarders go all out though!
Isn't there just more skiers well that's the case in Australia so that would automatically give them a higher chance but could be different else where
He went down Corbett's like a boss!!! Respect
Oh men!
Congratulations! I love it! The song matches perfectly with the video #sickkk

Miss these times...
I would have worn my pole straps.
Obviously good to keep the poles with you, but I do know someone that broke his thumb because his pole got caught in a tree and the strap pulled his thumb back quite nastily, so I'd be careful having them on around trees...
I agree he looks like he's going around 70 mph (guessing) when he lands, One would not think ski poles attached would be a good idea.
I'll say it again! SICK!
sorry but Candid Thovex has the line of the winter this year and every year lol.
Luke Rockhill true lol
but for some reason he never made an entry
that opener jump, holy...
great video!
Wyoming. Better act accordingly.
Dude sick line, another one
Imagine if the if he the GoPro didn’t start recording...
The first drop was INSANE
