    Yeah, that doesn't go.

    Plus, doesn't POV typically make it look less steep?

    Because if was steeper than it looked ...

    I don't have a problem with most skimountaineering vids but it did seem like the boards were just in the way on that one. Maybe they edited out all the skiing/surfing parts.

    I believe the Euros refer to this as dry skiing.

    Not something I’d ever care to attempt but it made for a hell of an entertaining video!

    How about some real steep skiing that just happened this week?

    Aurel Lardy and Pierre-Idris Mehdi took advantage of spring-like conditions in Chamonix this week to repeat Fransson's descent of the Grand Gendarme d’Envers du Plan – East Couloir from April of 2010. Video and pics: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2-XISntVOn/

    Bjarne's edit from Fransson's first descent, with a lot more snow than these boys had

    Aurélien Lardy also repeated the Whillan's Ramp in Patagonia with Vivan Bruchez and Jules Socié a few months back. Pretty impressive stuff.
