VIDEO: Skier Misses First Turn, Takes Nasty Fall All Way Down Big Couloir at Big Sky Resort, MT

Thanks to SnowBrains reader Tim for sending us this gnarly video of his father taking a nasty crash in Big Couloir at Big Sky Resort, MT. Audio up for running gondola commentary…

Hey I have a wonderful video for you. On Friday my father decided to ski the Big Couloir at Big Sky and decided to fall on his first turn. He is in the hospital with a broken leg and shoulder and wanted me to send you the video. He was laughing when he said “if you miss the first turn you miss them all.” He would really enjoy you posting the video.

Glad to hear your dad is in good spirits! Here’s the video to make his day…

On March 12th 2021 George missed his first turn in the Big Couloir and slid down the whole thing. He dislocated and fractured his shoulder and broke his tib-fib. It will be a long recovery, but he should be skiing next year.
