"The camera went live earlier this month and immediately began revealing the true scale of Corbet's signature entrance, which features a roughly 20-foot drop and a pitch approaching 50 degrees. When the couloir is open, the feed captures everything from long moments of hesitation at the lip to smooth, confident stomps and the inevitable crashes that remind viewers just how serious the line really is."
"One widely shared moment showed a skier dropping in only to have a ski catch on the wall at the entrance. The rider fell several meters into the couloir, managed to self-arrest, then spent nearly ten minutes booting back up to retrieve the trapped ski before knocking it loose and sliding down to regroup. Thousands of viewers watched the entire sequence unfold live, turning a routine day at Jackson Hole into a viral moment."
"The live feed has spread quickly across social media, with content creators posting reaction videos and screen recordings that have drawn millions of views. For many viewers, the appeal is watching skilled but nonprofessional skiers attempt a line that is usually only seen through highlight edits or competition footage. The camera shows what Corbet's actually looks like on a normal day, without filters or polish."
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort installed a live webcam above Corbet's Couloir earlier this month, offering an unfiltered, real-time view of the roughly 20-foot drop and near-50-degree pitch. The feed captures long hesitations at the lip, confident stomps, and frequent crashes, and goes dark when the run is closed. One widely shared sequence showed a skier catch a ski on the wall, fall several meters, self-arrest, then spend nearly ten minutes booting up to retrieve the trapped ski while thousands watched. The live stream has spread across social media, drawing millions of views and exposing everyday skiers' attempts on an elite line.
