hell yeah, just like kite surfing but on skies. i was wondering if he knew that mountain really well and if not what would happen if he went off the cliff and then there he went off the edge.
looks like so much fun.

That looks like the kind of trails that Rat likes to wheel down.

WoW.....the first guy who tried that must have balls of steel. what guts!!

I'm not sure why they needed ski's...looked like he was always in the air. Definitely not for me.

Looks like those rocks would ruin a perfectly good pair of skis.
Not for me, "I'll eat Thai food when I want to go extreme". Just freekin nuts.

I don't even like to fly, 4 wheels down, B&T TJ

Yup, I'm thinkin the same thing. But when you have sponsors like these two, ski costs aren't a big deal.

Apparently that was the first time that had been done, anywhere! But I'm sure they mapped that out real well before they went. The Eiger is freaking awsome, you have to see it in person to get the feel for what they did. Here is a useless peice of information for you: the top 1000 ft or so of the Eiger is actually part of the African tectonic plate. The Eiger was formed when the African plate rode up on top of the European plate. From certain angles you can see the difference in the rock formations.

Kurt, that is cool info! I was just watching a show on Mt McKinley in Alaska and how the tectonic plates keep moving pushing Mt McKinley to continue to get taller every year.
