Owen Leeper knows a thing or two about dramatic lines. The Jackson Hole, Wyo.-local has skied his fair share over the years. Like this 90-foot superman air. Or catching the Middle Teton with fresh powder – in August.
Something else Owen knows a thing or two about? The YouTube algorithm. Drama captures views. His POV preview photos are dramatic. His titles are dramatic (3 Chutes You Could Die Skiing), and his footage is dramatic. Which makes for fantastic viewing. This summer, Owen has put together a series featuring three couloirs that could, that’s right, end your life. And we can see why. Each is between tight walls and two feature mandatory airs.
We waited to write about the series until Owen posted each video. That happened. So we’re getting these out for your viewing pleasure. One thing these three edits reiterate? Perhaps it’s something that you already knew? The Jackson Hole backcountry is something else.
You can view all three videos in the series above and below, and follow Owen, here.
