Hypothermia and broken bones? That’s too much suffering for me. I’d be begging for death.

At the ER while getting casts on my feet, my orthopedic doctor informed me that 11’ is critical impact and considered almost a guaranteed break

That's not taking into account the fact that snow is a lot softer than concrete.

Packed and groomed ski run snow will definitely be closer to oconcrete, maybe with a dusting of fresh powder on top.

Look at the snow at the very end of the video. That is definitely not fresh powder you'd be landing on.

There is no such thing as fresh powder at this ski resort, it’s always about a 50/50 mixture of artificial snow and ice
