For you fellow old school dudes--I hadn't seen this in a long time. The closing Jesper Ronnback segment was so mindblowing, and it still is. I think him hitting Trifide 3 in La Grave with hard-packed snow is still the craziest thing ever done on skis. Here's another video that shows that line: https://www.freeride.se/en-flygtur-vi-minns-wille-lindberg/

Watch Free Radicals 2 on YouTube as well. Now I wish someone would put Pura Vida up on the interweb. The Kent Kreitler segment was amazing.

Cool.

I've seen couple of Finns hit that in spring (March) 2001 - conditions were super good, the landing/snow level was maybe 5-6m higher up and powder conditions. Still pretty impressive on site...not to mention all of the guys ate it on the landing, one (snowboarder) managed to backslap and go on semi-clean...:) (was second on the Verbier Xtreme later that spring, go figure...it's a "big boy" line for sure)

I agree that Jesper's drop is all time stuff!

Sorry, accidental multipost. Error message - but then all the posts still got there somehow.
Isn't there an easy way to delete accidental double/multiposts?

It's sweet that you've seen it. What a line! I went to Chamonix while studying abroad, but I wasn't going to get near La Grave--no avalanche training.

La Grave is pretty special. Recommended...just take a guide if you're first time there!

Something f&%€d up with the connection I guess...shows error but it still publish, weird :)
