I was thinking that the helicopter lift must be scary, but then I realised that maybe if you ski those kinds of slopes, you don't mind that kind of thing so much.
this guy is truly a legend.. falling into a crevasse and getting picked up by a helicopter and got a broken knee and is still skiing in the mountains. legend
These are the morons who always end up needing rescued for falling into crevasses, avalanches, break legs, fall of cliffs - so that other people have to risk their lives to save them from their dumb decisions.
Dear random internet guy, we all know that rescuers never practice mountaineering, skiing and all that stuff, they choose to be mountain rescuers because they hate mountains activities, it totally makes sense. Seriously, taking risks is part of these activities, does it makes people practicing these activities dumb? I'm not sure, I find dumber your decision to comment something you clearly don't know about.
Too short. You cut but what next? How far can you go? Are there crevasses around? We see people in the distance, can you join them without stopping? You should also provide a map of your descent, to enable everybody to see where your start, where your are, where you go. Thanks.
Hello, yeah I made a short edit this time, I did it on my phone so it's not perfect. After the couloir I joined the guys on the glacier without stopping, we just said hello and I continued down the glacier by myself. Of course there are crevasses but the glacier is well filled by the snow so the risk is lower. This day the risk was more about the icy condition at the top of the couloir, and also the rapidly changing weather with potential bad visibility.
I'm not a weak man but every time I see a rescue by the PGHM I get emotional, they are such fantastic EXPERTS, they train so much and are at the leading edge of their field...Chapeau! et Bien Merci! Glad it all worked out for the positive finalle
