It's been bullet proof and closed every time I was there unfortunately. Not sure how sendy I was feeling but even if it wasn't closed, it was hockey skates required and not really my jam.

Looks like a cool run and it's an iconic ish spot. Fucking send 'er and post a vid.

If it's still that giant lip from K&Q, it might be a little crazy for me. Supposed to have soft snow this week so you never know...

I skied Corbet's for the first time last February. It is hugely overrated in my opinion and any current or former Jackson skier will probably agree.

The thing that does make it gnarly, however, is how different it can be day by day. Some days you can arc a big left turn in while hardly leaving the ground. and other days it is much easier and safer to fuckin point'er off the cornice. Depends on snow fall and how big of a wind lip has formed.
I took this route first time. Just had to hop over those rocks and rip it to the left m8

If there’s some soft snow in the morning air in first run so it doesn’t get skied out. The landing on the far left is steep and if you hit it in the right spot even though it’s around 20 foot it’s smooth. The biggest problem I found is slowing down. Cause it gets chopped up quick it’s pretty wild washing off speed.

always wanted to give Corbets a try.....never been to Jackson Hole. I did hit a few scary chutes at Whistler last year.
Sorry to hear it was closed for you!
