Jackson Hole
A. Cattle ranches with cowboys, the valley's first main industry. Even the first tourism in Jackson was dude ranches.
B. Corbet's Couloir, probably the most famous single ski run in N. America, has it's own annual contest and seems to attract an audience all winter.
C. Tram (aka the Red Heli).
D. Cattle brand like initials with an old western print block feel. Double black diamonds substituted for periods for the extreme terrain of JHMR.
E. Barry Corbet, pointed out the chute while scouting out the descent in 1960. Ski patrolman Lonnie Ball dropped it first. Others deserve to be up there too, but I limited it to 5 figures for five decades of JHMR.
F. Stanford Red for alumn and JHMR founder Paul McCollister.
G. Doug Coombs, a pioneer of extreme skiing has a run named after him and his Coombs Cave memorial on Corbets.
H. Freeskiers Karl Fostvedt and Caite Zeliff, the first "King and Queen of Corbet's" in 2018.
I. Famous snowboarder Travis Rice, grew up riding JHMR. Also "King" of Corbet's in 2019.
J. Opened in 1966. The tram alone took two years to build.
