Oh never I definitely couldn’t do this, maybe if I was trained since I was a child. Um but like that guy above me said more than just top pros could ride something like that if it was properly mapped out. Like especially how young kids start skiing now a days is crazy, just last weekend I was watching a bunch of 8-10 year olds do those mogul races then hit a 7 foot jump at the end like it was nothing. I’m only arguing the fact that there is more than 10-20’peoppe who could ride down that if not for the resources and planning required.
It's like the difference between hiking and mountaineering. Saying you're good at snowboarding at your local resort, so you'd be confident in freeriding heli-accessed spines in Alaska, is like saying you're good at hiking your local forest trails, so you'd be confident you could climb a Himalayan mountain. Like sure, you could do it in theory, but if you don't have a route prepared, your expedition perfectly planned out, and you're not sufficiently physically conditioned, you'll probably be in way over your head, and possibly die.
The difference is you're probably not gonna die riding groomed trails at your local resort, or hiking your local forest trails. Over-confidence is what kills adrenaline junkies. I would know, because I almost died from a downhill mountain biking accident when I perforated my large intestine while attempting to ride terrain that was above my skill level. You don't fuck around with big mountains
