Superb clip,

never in my own wildest dream could I even find myself standing on the peak let alone taking the first turn.

Its good to know that there are still some untamed challenges out there.

Impressive, all the more so that it's on a board as well, we used to reckon much beyond 60' on skis and it was hard to hold an edge and boards were supposed to hit a limit sooner.

The top looks insane, the chute looks pretty good fun though :D

He must have spent some time planning that line and visualising, it's just perfect, about 100 times better than the (barely) controlled falls that pass for extreme skiing on some videos.
