Extreme Skiing in Roldal Norway: Falling Off a cliff

A sweet extreme skiing video filmed in Norway near Roldal. The skier is very good and the ski video starts off with some beautifully executed turns in fresh, virgin powder. Near the end of the video however, the skier does a mistake and stops atop of an unseen cliff, some 15m high and falls off. He seems ok at the end but is still injured. Should serve as a warning to always be on the lookout for cliffs when off piste and out in the backcountry.

The video is very well filmed and shows some amazing Norwegian landscapes in the mountains. Norway isn’t the first place people think about when extreme skiing comes to mind, but the terrain in the video is awesome.
