I realize extreme skiing is not a focus of this forum, but this is worth a look:

I'm speechless after seeing that. He must have been sure there would be enough width to squeeze through all the way down!
craziest thing I think I have ever seen.

This ski edit is everywhere, and for good reason. It's hair-raising, and the the P.O.V component really adds a lot of intensity. You know, we all talk about having 'rock solid' confidence in our abilities and the way one might go about developing and acquiring both a high level of skill and confidence in skiing, but Cody's line trumps all of that a hundred times over.
There's maybe only 4-5 humans on the planet who could have skied that line with the same level of confidence, speed and precision (my count has Hoji, Sean Pettit, Thovex, maybe Abma, and maybe a much younger Seth Morrison). And, it would have been a true risk for all of them (including Cody). Exciting scary stuff, I still cringe as he gets to the final hole shot, which in the POV sequence looks tiny!
