    Somewhere at home I've got a few videos of French mountain guides
    skiing off of the classic north face routes in the Alps. The bit that
    makes you stop and think is that by the time I saw the videos most of
    them were dead. They didn't use parachutes.

    It's nothing new, it's just a safer form of off piste skiing.

    Presumably the adrenalin rush is its own reward.

    <shrugs> Didn't float my boat, seemed like a simple way of trashing a
    pair of skis to me. Mind you, KiteWings really do float my boat, so I
    suppose there's really no logic in it all.

    You'd need to learn to ski first.

    I've never quite understood how what appears to be an animated crash
    helmet on skis in an eye-wateringly wide snowplough can actually go
    faster than an adult in a schuss.
