Snowboarder tumbles like a rag doll down extremely steep slope

The most famous ski run at Big Sky Resort in Montana is called The Big Couloir, and requires those daring to take the plunge to check in with ski patrol before descending.

Plus, they are required to wear an avalanche beacon and go with an experienced partner before dropping into the triple black diamond with the 1,400-vertical-foot drop and 50-degree pitch, according to Ski.com.

The Inertia said it is “one of the gnarliest inbounds runs you’re going to find,” and described it as “roller coaster steep.”

Needless to say, wipeouts can be nasty.

PeakRankings posted an Instagram video of “How not to send it down The Big Couloir,” and it is a bit painful, as a snowboarder loses it near the top and tumbles down the slope like a rag doll.

The commentary on the video prompted snarky comments, mostly about the snowboarder losing his goggles. Fortunately, the snowboarder didn’t lose consciousness, and appeared to be okay, though the rider’s condition was not known.

Undoubtedly, the ski patrol attended to the rider soon after the spill, as it monitors those taking runs down “The Big Couloir.”
