it wasn't the spot, it's that he was casually side slipping down the first few vertical feet. if he would have been paying more attention he wouldn't have gone backward that far and off the edge.
As soon as he looked over the ledge in the beginning, I knew he was gonna slip or something and the entire time I was waiting and then he finally fell in the scariest way possible. Falling backwards fucking freaks me out because theres nothing you can do about it. I thought he was done at 1:08 but he got right up like a boss. Anyone know if he's ok?
Here's another gripping video.
2 lines. The first is super exposed and ski'd clean. The second variation is a first descent with a lucky tumble at the end.

completely preventable, you know how? dont be a retard and put on your skis at an angle other than perfectly perpendicular to the slope. especially when you're on top of a fucking mountain. you think that would be the first thing you learn when you go skiing
jesus, i think i almost had a heart attack
Fucking terrifying, he did a great move to put his skis down like that while he was tumbling and ride over the rocks with his skis. Really quick thinking.
When he kept showing the perilous drop on the rocky side, I kept saying: "how the fuck are you going to fall down that? Please don't fall down that."
Then he clicked in and I was like "please mind the big ass drop just behinnnnnnnndd HOLY SHEEEEIT"
fucking lucky man right there.
