Found this clip and thought of those of you who "freelance ski".
Be careful out there.

When you ski, what type of safety gear do you carry to assist in this type of rescue event?
Do you ever go skiing SOLO? Even professionals have accidents occasionally.

Please be safe out there.

A skier from the Les Powtos sports team fell down a deep glacier cliff in La Grave, France in April 2022. You see him barely wedge his skis into the cliff face, moments from falling into the deep crevice. The off-piste skiing group were on hand with ice screws, axes and rope to pull him out to safety. They said, 'it was the longest 20 minutes of our lives'. Adding, they waited a year before posting the video out of respect for the fact they nearly lost a member of their crew that day.
