Corbet's Couloir is considered by many to be the most difficult ski run on the continent. With a 20-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, the margin for error is slight and the consequences of blundering are severe.
Located just 15-20 minutes from downtown Banff, the adventure begins at the Gondola Base. Eight passengers at a time ascend 1,650 vertical feet over roughly three miles in about 20 minutes. Along the way are stunning views in every direction. There are three stations along the way - a mid-line directional change, the Goat's Eye offload, and finally the upper village terminal.
