  this wouldn’t happen when prepared adequately and behaved appropriately

  I agree. But this is hardly extreme skiing.

    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 liekely 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.
