The pic may or may not be photoshopped and the distance may or may not be misreported, but Tomas Bergemalm, of Sweden, allegedly successfully completed a 600ft cliff jump in Chamonix, France, recently.

That photo ain't a 600ft cliff
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

600' is not going to be very survivable sans parachute.

insult and it's not skiing anyway, it's jumping off a cliff with skis on.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Whatever it is, it's a darn sight further than I am prepared to jump.

I'm not sure about this, I can't work out his line and its pretty poor coverage given he was setting out to smash the cliff jump world record. No other pics available on the web, no video and oddly not mentioned on Tomas's blog, although there could be two freeskiers from Sweden with the same name.
It looks like a press release that some sites and worryingly the Telegraph and Daily Mail picked up and did a cut and paste job. The British press cover themselves in glory once again.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

The Sun on Sunday would never cover it like that...
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Nope. They'd be listening in to the mobile phone conversations of the Mountain rescue team.....
