#Corbets Couloir

[wsssm]

If you want an introduction to sit skiing that has nothing to do with Washington State but everything to do with being completely amazing, this video about sit skiing icon Trevor Kennison, which culminates in him dropping the most notorious in-bounds couloir in the United States (if not the world) is a good place to start.

TRIVIA FACT: The skier Corbet’s Couloir was named after was also partially paralyzed following a spinal injury and was a major advocate for getting people with disabilities into outdoor recreation.

Jackson Hole Ski Art Corbet's Couloir

I love this painting, the texture, the movement, the colours, the anticipation and the excitement made for a great energy to paint. Lots of colours deep textures and some crazy looking skiers and borders. Take a close up look with the zoom tool with mouse over. This is Corbet’s couloir  at Jackson Hole Ski Resort in Wyoming. There’s a great depth that sucks you into this painting with the skis edging the hole at the front made from paint straight out of the tube and the twisting couloir heading down. The line up of skiers and borders  eager for a turn lining the lip. 100 x 80cm textured acrylic on canvas.

Love it or Hate it, the Ski and Snowboard “Mega” Season Pass is here to stay. – Dan Kelly

There has been much debate over the past several winters about these new “mega” season passes for skiing and snowboarding, locals hate them but many others love them.  Rather than shelling out roughly $500-$1000 for a season pass at a single resort the Epic Pass or Ikon Pass allow you access to a multitude of mountains across the globe for a fixed number of days at each resort for around the same cost.  When the price per day of skiing at some of these popular mountains is upwards of $200 daily, a $600-$1050 season pass seems like a bargain. 

Over the past several seasons locals have grown to hate this mega pass.  The mountains are significantly busier, there are more inexperienced skiers and boarders on more advanced mountains, bars and restaurants are more crowded, prices in the ski towns are increasing and long-term rental properties for these locals are becoming more and more difficult to afford.  Owners of these properties turn to Airbnb and VRBO to capture the effects of the rising demands and increased rental prices-a positive for the owners and negative for the locals.

The costs of the skiing & snowboarding market in the United States are unfortunately rising due to lower overall attendance and downward trending interest from new skiers and boarders.  These resorts have to cover costs and do whatever they can to maximize profits so the major players have been purchasing and consolidated large resorts across the United State.  Vail Resorts (Epic Pass) and Alterra (IKON Pass) are the two major players in the market and the mega season passes seem to be working for themselves and investors and  many of the resorts included on these passes have seen over 20% increase in revenue during the first year they join.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology although not new has really made these passes work across the U.S. and made the overall process smooth, attractive and beneficial for both users and the ski companies.  The RFID technology has allowed all these mega season pass holders to get a single card, keep it in their pocket and access all of these mountains for the allocated days without having to step foot in the ticket line.  The RFID ticket is just like an EZ pass used in a car on a toll road for the Ski Mountains.   You simply go to one of the gates in front a ski lift, walk through it and the RFID technology will scan your card in your pocket and let you go on the lift and users absolutely love it.  

The RFID technology also allows these big companies to gain valuable data from their skiers and snowboarders which can help them try to analyze user visits and predict their operating costs better.  It is always interesting seeing old industries using newer technologies to help advance both the user experience and the business operations.  

Operating costs are extremely expensive when operating these ski mountains and any data that can be analyzed to help reduce these costs is extremely valuable.  The data collected from when skiers and snowboarders visit, how long they ski and where they ski on a mountain can help provide useful information.   The information generated, such as what are peak times, when maintenance work should be done so that lifts are not down during peak times, when and how often snow grooming is needed and also at what times to hire more workers during specific uptick in traffic periods across the season.

These affordable season passes coupled with the outreaches of social media have also attracted a massive new wave of skiers and boarders to these mountains.  Those who once would just see an advertisement or email of a mountain or hear about a great ski trip through friends are constantly seeing crazy videos of fresh powder, glades and 20-foot cliff drops.  

Many of these videos and images tag #IKONPASS, #AdeventureRunsDeep or #EPICforEveryone and these skiers and boarders can now see the tags in these videos, find locations and find out if these mountains are included in these season passes (many of which are).  Many have in-turn then purchased these affordable season passes and plan trips to these once unknown, secret, “locals only” locations and give all these resorts a try.  I personally bought an Ikon pass and went to Jackson Hole resort after seeing a video of someone skiing down Corbets Couloir.

Even though many of the ski bums and townies hate these season passes they are bringing thousands of new tourists to once unknown resorts.  The owners and investors as well as property and business owners and mega pass season ticket holders are loving it and the economies in these ski towns are booming.  It seems like everyone wins…minus the locals unfortunately.

Dieses Skigebiet Könnte Kanadas Nächstes Großes Ding Werden

Skigebiete In Den Andorranischen Pyrenäen

Obwohl es wenig Anfängergelände gibt, gibt es Kurse und Skicamps für Kinder und Anfänger sowie für Erwachsene, die die knorrigsten Pisten in Angriff nehmen möchten – wie das extreme Double-Black-Diamond Corbet's Couloir. Mit fast 40 Fuß durchschnittlichem jährlichen Schneefall auf 2.200 Hektar Gelände bietet Jackson Hole viel Skifahren, und es ist hauptsächlich für fortgeschrittene bis erfahrene Skifahrer. Es gibt genug Schnee und Berge, um herumzugehen, und es ist nur eine zweistündige Fahrt von Vancouver entfernt. Dieses Skigebiet bietet ein Terrain für Snowboarder aller Könnerstufen mit Pisten, die sowohl weitläufige Pisten als auch gut präparierte Loipen bieten.

Alpines Skifahren wird beim FIS Alpinen Skiweltcup, den FIS Alpinen Skiweltmeisterschaften (nur in ungeraden Rennen ausgetragen) ausgetragen -nummerierte Jahre) und die Olympischen Winterspiele.

Wenn Sie alles wollen und keine Kompromisse eingehen wollen, schauen Sie sich diese vielseitigen Skigebiete an, die Besten der Besten des Landes.

Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel stehen von der Stadt Santa Fe zum Skigebiet zur Verfügung.

Snowbird liegt im Little Cottonwood Canyon und nur 45 Minuten vom internationalen Flughafen Salt Lake City entfernt. Es liegt nicht nur viel Schnee, sondern hält auch länger als in jedem anderen Skigebiet der Region. Wenn Sie in engen Bäumen Ski fahren möchten, fahren Sie zu den Pisten von Jockeys und Jean Blanc, von der Spitze des Col de la Loze bis nach Le Praz. Seit 1969 bieten die Winterresorts im Gebiet von Boone die längsten und größten Pisten im Westen von North Carolina. Erkunden Sie alle drei Skigebiete, jedes innerhalb von 9-19 Meilen vom nächsten entfernt. Die erste Erfahrung der meisten Skifahrer ist Alpin- oder Abfahrtsskifahren.

Backcountry-Skifahren ist eine skihütte mieten großartige Beschäftigung, die vielen Spaß macht, aber es ist nicht ohne Risiken. Gehen Sie niemals alleine auf Skitouren und nehmen Sie immer ausreichend Nahrung und Wasser sowie ein Erste-Hilfe-Set mit. Der Skistil ist vielfältiger und erfordert eine spezielle Ski- und Sicherheitsausrüstung. Skifahrer bringen beim Klettern bergauf Abschnitte „Felle“ an, das sind die natürlichen oder künstlichen Stoffe, die an der Unterseite des Skis befestigt sind. Sierra Nevada ist eine Autostunde vom Mittelmeer entfernt, was bedeutet, dass das Resort so ziemlich Spring Break auf Skiern ist.

Skigebiete In Den Andorranischen Pyrenäen

Der ikonische Name Mont Blanc, die ersten Olympischen Winterspiele und Skipisten mit dem größten Höhenunterschied der Welt machen Chamonix zu einem der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Skigebiete Frankreichs. Val d'Isere und Tignes bieten mit mehr als zwei Dutzend herausfordernden schwarzen Pisten einige der besten Skigebiete für Experten. Aber es ist das außergewöhnliche Off-Piste-Gelände, das erfahrenen Skifahrern das Recht zum Prahlen einbringt. Aspen Snowmass ist eines der besten Skigebiete in Colorado und besteht aus vier Skigebieten rund um Aspen und Snowmass Village. Das kombinierte Gelände von Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands und Buttermilk umfasst mehr als 5.500 Acres, wobei Snowmass allein mehr als 3.000 ausmacht. Die Südwand des Matterhorns befindet sich in Italien, und Skifahren über den Theodulpass führt Sie in das riesige Loipensystem von Breuil-Cervinia im italienischen Val d'Aosta.

Geschichte

Das Beech Mountain Ski Resort ist mit einer Höhe von 5.506 Fuß das höchste Skigebiet im Osten. Mit 15 Pisten, sieben Sesselliften, zwei Schleppliften und einem Höhenunterschied von 250 Metern bietet Beech Mountain abwechslungsreiches Terrain für... Neuseeland ist auch einer der besten Orte, um das Skifahren zum ersten Mal zu erleben. In jedem der Resorts auf der Südinsel gibt es qualifizierte Skilehrer, die sowohl Gruppen- als auch Privatunterricht für Skifahren und Snowboarden anbieten. Beim Skifahren in Queenstown und Wanaka erleben Sie erstklassige Skigebiete, aufregende Off-Mountain-Aktivitäten und Landschaften, die Sie umhauen werden. Backcountry- oder Off-Piste-Skifahren bedeutet, sich von kommerziellen Pisten zu entfernen, um die weniger befahrenen Teile des Berges zu erkunden.

Skitourengeher verwenden auch „Felle“, die an der Basis ihrer Skier befestigt sind, um den Halt beim Aufstieg zu maximieren. Foto von Adam Selwood unter CC BY 2.0 Einige Backcountry-Skifahrer zahlen lieber für einen Helikopter, der sie auf den Gipfel des Berges bringt. Allerdings haben einige Länder, wie beispielsweise Frankreich, inzwischen die Nutzung von Helikopterflügen für Freizeitzwecke untersagt, da die Umwelt- und Lärmbelastung zu hoch sei. Wenn Sie an einem heißen Sommertag den Skikrampf kratzen müssen, hat Madrid auch sein eigenes Indoor-Skigebiet, Madrid SnowZone, komplett mit einer Rennstrecke und einem Geländepark auf der Südseite der Stadt.

Australians with stocks in banks may need to rethink their finances, leading analyst says

Australians have more money invested in bank stocks than any other stocks, either directly or indirectly, but leading bank analysts suggest a rethink on whether that is the best place to have your money parked.

Key points: One of Australia's leading analysts believes having stocks in banks may not be the best option for investors He said he believes the Australian economy will take 18 months to recover Bank stocks have rallied after their lows in March, but not as much as the rest of the market Jefferies' Brian Johnson likens the Australian economy, and by proxy the banks, to Corbet's Couloir — one of the most dangerous ski runs in North America.

It's a double black diamond, which means one who dares enter will be exposed to "uncontrollable falls along a steep, continuous pitch, route complexity, and high-consequence terrain".

 Written and Edited by Blake Campbell

  I guess I’m definitely a Virgo.  I read textbooks for fun and I love documentary films that feed me the history of topics that wind me up.  So imagine a film that serves as both documentary and ski movie all in one.  The Dream Factory fills both needs beautifully.  It tells a great story about the history of steep skiing in Alaska and it’s replete with brand new, mind-boggling footage of terrifying descents down 50 degree pitches.  Yeah, I’m all over this one.

 As you would expect in a film centered on Alaska, The Dream Factory is about 90% big mountain.  While the exceptional team from Stept Productions are enlisted to hit some urban in Anchorage, this is a TGR film after all and their discipline is big mountains with big consequences.  With regular TGR riders like Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Todd Ligare, Daron Rahlves and Seth Morrison, the footage never disappoints.  Mix this with writer and editor Blake Campbell’s unwinding of the story behind the sport’s pioneers, The Dream Factory makes for a compelling view.

 Having been skiing in Alaska since the early 1990s, the boys at TGR are perfectly placed to tell the story of the rise of Alaska as the Super Bowl of ski destinations.  While there have been planes and helicopters flying skiers to the top of the peaks since the mid-1950s, the modern story begins in earnest in the late 1980s when a bush pilot named Chuck McMahan started flying his friends to ski the Thompson Pass mountains near Valdez.  From there he and Michael Cozad purchase the shabby looking Tsaina Lodge on the Richardson Highway and that becomes command central for every powder hound and steep skiing adrenaline junkie who wants to get their freak on.  However, at the time, that meant like five guys so Cozad comes up with the idea of a skiing contest to market their burgeoning business and the surrounding terrain.  Thus, the World Extreme Skiing Championship was born.  Among the invitees was Wyoming’s (late) Doug Coombs who had honed his skills skiing the steeps of Jackson Hole in the Tetons.  Coombs goes on to win the first WESC in 1991 and goes back home to his fellow Jackson Hole Air Force buddies raving about what he’s seen in Alaska.  And so the word starts getting out.

 A parallel universe situation was happening in Canada where Eric Pehota and Trevor Peterson were scaling mountains in the Coast Range outside Pemberton, building the exact skills they’d need to make their mark in Alaska.   Taken altogether, these types of adventurous individuals set the tone for skiing’s foreseeable future.

 The fascinating dimension here is not the discovery of the mountains – I mean, everybody knew they were there.  It was the discovery of what you could do in those mountains that made the territory fresh again.  And given the sheer scope of what’s available, that particular discovery has a significance like finding another planet.

 The 90s then become a period of innovation. By 1993 Doug Coombs is operating a guiding service with a large clientele.  In 1997, ex-World Cup ski racer Jeremy Nobis retires from that circuit and brings his athleticism to the steeps, again changing how skiers viewed what’s possible in the mountains.  But, as the decade wore on, the Alaskan regulars began feeling that they had skied everything they could in Valdez and so, searching for new adventure and unskied terrain they take up about 500 miles away in a small fishing town called Haines and a range called the Chilkats.   That area provided the goods for many years and when that wore off, they continued to search for new peaks, places like Petersburg and the latest playground, the Northern Chugach.

 The Dream Factory effortlessly weaves new film of famous runs in with the documentary footage.  After Doug Coombs talks about building his skills at Jackson Hole’s Corbet’s Couloir in the 1980s before going to Alaska, the movie glides into a 2012 Corbet’s session with John Spriggs and Matt Philippi throwing down hard.  Where there’s film of Jon Hunt’s first descent in 1992 of Mount Dimond near Valdez, The Dream Factory follows with 2012 footage of Todd Ligare shredding the same line.   Those types of juxtapositions not only bring the history alive but serve to build the legend of Alaska as the zenith of the sport.  With the footage of those white faces and blue skies and hearing about the challenges it provides, there’s clearly a brand being developed and I’m not saying that disparagingly: I’m simply pointing out that you are left to believe that there’s nothing else like this on earth and if you’re a skier, you feel compelled to go there.

 The Dream Factory’s well-curated soundtrack includes a few majestic, spacey sounding tracks that match the otherworldly environment that is an Alaskan mountain range.  That type of touch makes for enjoyable repeated viewings.  Check Daron Rahlves’ segment which is underpinned with Chase and Status’ “Fire In Your Eyes” or Dash Longe’s closeout segment scored with C65’s “Let’s Go”.

 An interesting adjunct (and not necessarily a counterpoint) to The Dream Factory is (now defunct) Rage Productions’ 2008 movie Down Days which documents a month long ski trip to Alaska and the waiting on the weather that goes with it.  Down Days lends a bit of background to a couple of the segments in The Dream Factory where the heli-ski guides are waiting for the weather to clear or Eric Roner’s comments about “More often than not, this is what Alaska looks like”, as he’s watching the snow coming down in a way the prevents flying.    And if you want even more background, Mark Obenhaus’ 2008 documentary Steep is also worth viewing for the development of steep skiing.

 The Dream Factory has one adrenaline rush after another as the skiers lay down all sorts of park tricks on the steeps.  It’s a documentary that has you looking to the future of skiing with huge anticipation.     By Mark “The Attorney General” Quail
