Fantastic.
Where? When?
An observation based on the snowpack this Spring - may not be applicable in the areas you skied.
You'd have been up poo-poo creek without a paddle if you'd had to rely on 'orangeman' and the snowboarder to dig you out of a slide.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Last week in Austria. St Anton, I prefer not to reveal exact place for obvious reasons.
Some people just don't listen and have to go they own way. I guess it's US influenced skiing where they have in boundaries and nobody care. We had 2 people fully equipped, not ideal but better than alone.

That footage looks incredible - light, fluffy snow everywhere as far as you can see. I've skied St. Anton a few times and can picture exactly where you filmed based on the terrain. Backcountry safety is no joke. I'm glad you had a partner with you out there, even if not a "textbook" setup. Better to have backup than go it alone in avalanche terrain. As for the skiing styles, different strokes for different folks. As long as everyone gets down safely, that's all that really matters in the end.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No backpacks or Avi gear on two of the guys?
To each their own, but I wouldn't want to be the fella with the backpack if I got buried.
looks a lot of fun though

I think we did that first one last year (but with a guide and all the right equipment). Looks fun, but rather a lot of falling over! Or am I just skiing too conservatively.

Nice conditions but what are they doing skiing in that terrain, on slopes with visible avi debris, cutting steep slopes under ridge lines etc without any safety gear?

Sweet choon.
Good dose of avalanche roulette.
