Cool video, but those fish-eye cameras are super misleading. They make everything look way more precarious than it really is. Look at how much his skis are accelerating when he's not braking. They're not accelerating that fast, which indicates it's not that steep. When the skier looks over his shoulder at 1:37, you get a sense of how flat the ridge is.

If you were to give the skier goggles that distorted his vision as much as that video camera does, he'd never wear them. So don't mistake the fish-eye view for reality. It's a high exposed ridge, but not nearly as exposed as the camera makes it seem.

The one narrow section through which he points it could've been circumvented skiers right.
Agreed on the fisheye

Lisa made me turn down the volume because of the rasping of edges on the processed powder.

Fun watch, yea the fish-eye makes it cooler.

Maybe the Julian Alps with all the limestone...
