Tim Durtschi is a Jackson Hole staple, a powerful skier, and a Freeride World Tour competitor who’s always a threat to take out the title. The dude is extremely skilled. Need proof? Have a look at this clip where Tim gets out of an avalanche rolling down an off-fall-line spine by airing into a giant couloir – you can see the avy debris as he looks over his left shoulder after landing. He doesn’t just air either. There’s some sort of spin thrown in there (hard to tell what from the POV). The man is a beast! Check out more from Tim on Instagram.
