This past Thursday I witnessed one of the rowdiest Big Mountain events go down at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in the world famous Corbet’s Couloir.
25 riders, male and female, skiers and snowboarders, lined up at the top for a best-of-2 athlete judged event.

Blaine Gallivan: Nose Butter 7

Teton Brown sent a MASSIVE Double Backflip (both runs) but wasn’t quite able to ride it out
Sander Hadley squared up for a double backflip/flatspin of sorts
Jeff Ledger(Cover shot)sent the biggest air of the day in a beautiful swan dive fashion
Kara Munsey sent a massive straight air over the skiers left side of the couloir
Caite Zeliff did a clean shifty over the skiers left entrance
Kenzie Lisac, Veronica Paulsen, and Sophia Schwartz all went for backflip attempts
Karl did a cork 7, to backflip on the next feature, and sent one last cliff on the bottom skiers right
Sander sent a right 3 of the couloir, followed by a left 3
Athletes gathered Saturday afternoon to view footage and judge the event on (1) speed, commitment, difficulty, (2) Innovative progressive maneuvers, (3) controlled stomp landings, and (4) overall impression.
