Comment on Skier narrowly avoids a crevasse

Sorry to be so blunt. But you’re either very dumb or you have no idea about alpine skiing.
And I need to reiterate that the Darwin award is pseudoscientific and eugenicist-adjacent.

Yes. But is ice skating skating?
Skiing is usually used to refer to skiing on maintained ski areas downhill or cross country skiing.
Doing it on foreign terrain which you clearly don’t know well enough and at speed is leaving the bounds of regular skiing.

No true scotsman fallacy.
Ski mountaineering is more like skiing than cross-country skiing. It’s quite common in the alps to do that and you almost never go on prepared tracks. The mountain where I spent my teenage winters after school doesn’t even really have an official, prepared track, because it’s too steep.
As I said: you have no idea.
I ain’t saying it was smart. But it’s not “extreme”.
