It should. And this ain't skiing. This is skiing in unknown unmaintained and unsafe terrain.

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. Also, you're pulling the "is usually used to refer" out of your ass.

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 for about 75% of the skiing terrain, because it's too steep.

As I said: you have no idea.

Doing it on foreign terrain which you clearly don't know well enough and at speed is leaving the bounds of regular skiing.

I ain't saying it was smart. But it's not "extreme".

Edit:

Sorry, you weren't the person who called thir "extreme". But still: Basing whether or not something is considered as "skiing" on how well you know the terrain (they could have gone down that mountain for 20 times already, for all you know, since crevaces like can form after you've made yourself familiar with the terrain), or how fast you do so is just dumb. When does it stop being "skiing"? At 20km/h? At 35 km/h? 27.5?
