    this wouldn’t happen when prepared adequately and behaved appropriately

    I agree. But this is hardly extreme skiing.

    If this qualified for your stupid “haha, someone who ‘deserved it’ died” award, then you could give that out to 80% of people staying in a hut in the alps.

      nope. this is off track extreme stuff (probably dropped off with a helicopter) and has nothing to do with regular alpinism

        It’s way more likely to be ski mountaineering. It’s quite common in the alps and you almost never go on prepared tracks when you do.

        If that’s “extreme”, then Austria is full of extreme sports folks.

            ffs 🙄

            You don’t have to go down the same way you came up.

            Why don’t you just shut up about stuff you have no idea about.

            Edit: Ski mountaneering being way more likely is simple statistics: since way more people are mountaineering than taking the helicopter, it’s just more likely that this skier was mountaineering.
