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.

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.

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".

Sit-Skier Trevor Kennison Drops Into Corbet's Couloir

With a mandatory steep drop into a narrow chute with rock walls on two sides, Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole in Wyoming is one of America's most challenging ski runs. During the annual Kings & Queens of Corbet's event, skiers from all over converge to huck themselves over the cornice, doing backflips, spins, and grabs of all kinds.

I'd heard that sit-skier Trevor Kennison, who has been paralyzed from the waist down since a snowboarding accident in 2014, had dropped into Corbet's during the 2019 Kings & Queens event but I'd never sat down to watch the video. Do yourself a favor and check this out:

From an REI blog post about Kennison:

Trevor Kennison imagined skiing Corbet's Couloir -- Jackson Hole, Wyoming's iconic and nearly vertical chute with a dicey, dramatic entrance -- six times in his head while waiting at the top. He closed his eyes, took three fast breaths, then visualized it: Ride the ramp at just the right speed, hit the takeoff, hug the rocks on skier's left, then stick the landing into the chute. If he could picture it going perfectly in his head, he knew he could pull it off.

He'd wanted to ski this line for years and finally, the day had come. Kennison, who's paralyzed from the waist down, says he wasn't scared. "I knew what I had to do. I was ready," Kennison, 26, said. "Everything I do is calculated risk. I think, where is it going to go wrong? I learn so much from the people around me."

So great. I finally went down this rabbit hole because Kennison skied at our local ski area yesterday here in VT and dropped a couple of cliffs. I didn't get over there to hang out, but I did see a friend of my son's skiing with him in his Insta Stories.
