Corbet's Couloir

Just another quick update. We had some great powder the other day, and so I went to the top of the mountain and did Corbet's Couloir. Since I'm sure you have no idea what that is you can google it or go to http://www.forbes.com/video/?video=fvn/lifestyle/ms_ski012507 and watch some videos of guys running it. It's on youtube as well and is maybe the most famous US run. I totally botched it (along with another chute called the Waterfall that I botched), but I'm still pretty happy to have done it my first season snowboarding. The video shows one preview and then brings up a second one that has it actually being done. I also did the expert chutes, but they're pretty tame. I might try and get my buddy to film me running it next time.

Since the guy on that video fell down alot of the way, I feel like I could do just about as well. After, that is, someone pushed me, screaming and crying, off the top.

Ha. I can totally picture Josh pushing you off, and you screaming and trying to grab hold of him. At least that's what he'd have done to me.
