Saw this the other day, madness, can't wait to see some footage, any ideas of the angles of the faces or pitches he skied ?

Reading the article I see that the piste map has a green, blue and red but no black, so can't be that hard

Anyone know who was sponsoring him? It's a bit unclear from the photo.

Blimey!

In reply to Andy Hardy:

Insane. Any idea how long the descent took?

In reply to kevin stephens:

Even I can handle a green or a blue. Do you know what they charge for a lift pass?

 

In reply to Andy Hardy:

Joking aside, that is highly impressive, and slightly scary.

In reply to Andy Johnson:

He was down within roughly 8 hours, but he had to stop at camp 4 and abseil too so hard to know exactly how long he was skiing for. https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2018/07/andrzej_bargiel_achieves_first_ski_...

He could at least have had some K2 skis...
