      Also important to note that with the angle at which they’re hitting the ground, they’re absorbing a lot less force than if they were hitting a horizontal surface, as part of their energy is transferred into sending them down the mountain as opposed to straight into the ground

    Crazy. Been skiing since 1972 and to see where the sport has progressed is amazing. With the newer equipment and better training it has allowed for mind blowing tricks being performed off this very difficult run. Like to see a competition where the skier has to use 1975 skis with modern bindings. Just a thought :-).

    Nothing like these amazing athletes, but dropped in several times in the early 80's. The sheer vertical rock walls towering on both sides of the first 50 yards are freakishly intimidating ... even for excellent skiers. Hard to understand until you're standing on the edge, making the decision. Just watching these videos brings back the adrenaline (and fear :-)). Great stuff ...

      Just dropping in is not particularly difficult. Simply map out your first few turns, and things should go smoothly. Below the narrow section it is like skiing a regular black.

    I have done this twice (when I was much younger). The first time I let myself fall into it and landed on a ledge. After a long wait all my friends left except one because they didn’t think I was ever going to leave. It was so scary with all the cliffs and the steep slope, but I finally managed to do the first turn and after a lot of jump turns made it to the bottom. The second time I thought “I own Corbet’s” and fell starting right from the top. When you fall here you start accelerating, trying not to plant a pole in front of you. Quite an experience!
