Ski mountaineering, or Sci Alpinismo (Italian) and ski-alpinismi (french) as they'd call it in the alps .

I liked the part near the end where he "skis" that cliff switch on rappel.

...yes, an outstanding ski mountaineering video...watched in my home theatre...the crow's rendition of fin kinda reminds of early floyd...wonder what kind of base repair was needed...

I dunno, seems like a lot of trouble for two dozen jump turns.

Sweet vid, very steep terrain. I've only seen it in summer. Need to find a overall route shot.

It kind of amazes me that guides are willing to take people on stuff like this. I don't feel like a guide would do that in the US...

I don't know why he didn't make more turns. If you're going to be on the rocks anyway, you might as well turn on them
