    if you tilt your head the the left, so it looks level, and ignore the mtn., it's really kind of funny. . .

    looks like a water skier or something or. . .

    That slope is at the top of the Brevent, I believe, and is that steep.

    I call bullshit. The powder swath shows that he's been in the fall line for 30 feet. If the slope were that steep, he wouldn't be in the fall line for that long. He wouldn't have his skis straight down the mountain unless it's a 300 vertical to flat straight-run. The snow looks a bit strange for powder on a 70 degree face. I know the Euros are sick, but still.

    The Philingle pic looks real.
