I really wish I had taken a run down Corbet’s while I was in Jackson Hole. I would have definitely taken the wimpy way down and just side- slipped my way in through the entrance. But it would have just been cool to check it out at least once.

Anyways, I think 3rd place was better. Less clean on the landings but I think the shit he was doing looked wilder. Using a snowboard was most certainly cheating so I could care less about first place there lol. That backwards entrance for 2nd place certainly got him some major credit and everything was super clean. Either way, all of these guys are nuts.

I need to give a shot out to my home town boy Parkin. Kid is off his rockers.

Travis Rices run on the snow board is amazing because of how far he sent it, just look how deep he went into the coulor. Freaking out of this world.

I think they close the run for a month before the event, so you wouldn’t have been able to ski it while there.

I agree, it’s tough to say who should win. I like that it’s judged by riders/skiers though. I liked the 3rd place run.

I don’t know if they did this last year but I did not like that they built kickers in the run higher up. Ok, one big one at the bottom for the crowd, fine. But the whole upper part should just be ‘what can you do with the natural terrain.’ In my humble opinion.

But yeah. Nuts.

Oh good, that's a much better excuse than I chickened out because it looked scary haha.

I think I would chicken out.

I mean the thing is I definitely went down stuff at both JH and Big Sky that was objectively more difficult to get through without eating it . Its just the entrance that makes it intimidating. Snow conditions in the video look 100x better than when I saw it in person though. It looked “doable” then but in the video it looks far less frightening.

To do what those guys were sending though would require better bindings and a WAY higher DIN setting though. I think I run about 7.5 on my skiis which is not enough for this stuff. And I have the cheapest possible bindings to begin with anyways so I’d be yard saling it the whole way down haha.
