First Ever Mountain Bike Descent of Corbet's Couloir

  • Anyone who has ever skied or snowboarded Jackson Hole knows just how nerve-racking it can be to send it into the infamous Corbet's Couloir, even in the best of conditions. Doing it in icy conditions on mountain bikes is nothing short of insane, and that's exactly what we did.
    Corbet's Couloir is one of the most legendary and challenging ski runs in the world. This spring, Cam McCaul and Casey Brown attempted the first ever Mountain Bike descent of the double black diamond ski run.
    There's a litany of other adjectives you could prescribe to the lines McCaul and Brown threw down - Sketchy, heavy, and borderline suicidal all come to mind - but ultimately, the end result was jaw-dropping. // From TGR's 2017 ski film Rogue Elements, presented by REI

    This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! I mean the drop at the beginning is considered to be the hardest marked ski run in north america, which is a SKI RUN, not to mention, the rest of the slope is still about a 40-45% pitch. WHICH IS REALLY FRICKEN STEEP ON A MOUNTAIN BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      In downhill biking you can get close to 70%, so 45 is no big deal, i do that too, easily!

    @jimsangster289 6 років тому +20

    OMG! Congrats!!! This is sick, and the already impressive footage doesn't do Corbet's justice (this is no statement on the photography, it is awesome...it is more that it always looks easier than real life). For anyone that has not been at the top of this run, it is insane. You can't tell by the pics, but sitting at the top it is a drop off the top towards that big rock wall on the left side to a blind landing spot...which you then have to immediately negotiate a right hand turn on a serious slope. Back in the day when I was a much better skier there was not much I wouldn't go down. The day I put my tips over the edge on Corbet's was one of those places where I said "no way".
    Riding it on skis or a board is hard enough, that is why it has the reputation it has earned. Bikes? Amazing. Bikes in the snow? Even more so. Great footage, great riding, keep it up!

      Sadly regulations, logistics and other things are gonna prevent that from happening for a long long time. For now, the Teewinot lift will have to do. They are already at capacity during the summer with the tourists. Imagine Whistler-esque crowds on top of that. No way :'( JH is already blown out so much, but I think it'd be awesome if they even used the gondie for MTB exclusive riding. But screw it, I know I'm never gonna want to shell out $$ for that, why not just ride the pass for free?

    • @AaronMarkie
      @AaronMarkie 6 років тому +5

      Capacity for Tourists .. seriously .. Man I stood in that line for 40 mins at -20°C how long do you reckon I'd wait in summer with my bike for a trail that long? How long did it take me to get to the top of Top of the Word?
      I get the fact that its a big undertaking but the lift is already running its already staffed. Alternatively Sweetwater. Build some epic Enduro single track (rather than fire trails with jumps) and people will come from the world over. Jackson Hole has such a massive opportunity.

    • @foimassa
      @foimassa 6 років тому

      +Aaron Markie I think they already have their massive opportunity with the four seasons resort and golf course. they make millions. I think the gondola for exclusive bike use would be the way to go. idk man I haven't been riding there in a while, maybe it's changed. people have been talking about this for years, there's gotta be a good reason it hasn't happened yet

    I’ve been skiing on the same planks (Straight 185 K2’s) since 1993. I also use the same rear entry boot from then as well. Every chair operator has to make fun of me, tell me to get with the times. I’ve tried parabolic, they just weren’t for me, so I stuck with my old ones. About 15-20 years ago they stopped accepting my skis to tune up (can’t remember if it was the skis, the bindings, or the boots - they were just too old so for liability sake, they would accept responsibility to work on them), no biggie, I just learned to do it myself.
    But I don’t wax them myself. Point is, I don’t fear rocks or stumps, I’ve got nicks and scrapes all over, doesn’t slow me down at all, doesn’t affect my form at all. After 45 years of skiing, the idea of having 100% smooth bottom of the skis wit no dings at all is so outdated. How many of us go and fix every ding to our car bumpers immediately. Unless you’re strutting the fashion runway or you’re showing off at apes ski, it’s unnecessary. If you read my entire Russian novel here, thanks for finishing it.
