Look at the crevasse. It is "only" a few metres deep.
... the skier would syill have broken a few bones if they fell in.
Snow is ice. And a bunch of weird material science happens when snow gets compressed, melts a bit in the sun and freezes again (which is afaik how glaciers formed in the first place - how else did the ice get there?).
You actually want to have an ice sheet on the slope when you go skiing. Otherwise the snow would get pushed away from the skis after a few swings and the ground wouldn't be covered anymore (ruining the skis of the people that come after you).
I remember a crevasse forming onthe slopes of the mountain I grew up at when I was 9, I think. Obviously, it was only about 1.5m deep, but it was a clear tear in the snow sheet and you could see the grass underneath the snow.
Skiing on glaciers has been done since the invention of skies.
They can more or less spontaneously form on steep, snow-covered slopes. Pretty much impossible to predict, where they form (maybe you can guess, based on the weather, but I'd be quite a guess).
Disclaimer: I'm no snow-scientist. But I grew up in the alps and I went ski-mountaineering a bunch of times.
Well, then good luck, finding that out.
That pit probably wasn't there a few weeks before. It's not like this stuff gets puton maps.
I'm sorry... what? O.o
ffs 🙄
You don't have to go down the same way you came up.
Why don't you just shut up about stuff you have no idea about.
Edit: Ski mountaneering being way more likely is simple statistics: since way more people are mountaineering than taking the helicopter, it's just more likely that this skier was mountaineering.
Skiing is usually used to refer to skiing on maintained ski areas downhill or cross country 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?
It's way more likely to be ski mountaineering. It's quite common in the alps and you almost never go on prepared tracks when you do.
If that's "extreme", then Austria is full of extreme sports folks.
And this ain't skiing.
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.
You got a better idea for text mode?
Doensn't look like he moth larvae pictures I found online. Looks a bit similar to the larvae of a Dermestidae. But still not sure.
Sorry for the low quality picture. It's hard to make macro images.

"If y'all could stop calling an LLM "open source" just because they published the weights... that would be great."
I bet that'd get the seeds out reeeally good.
... what do you mean "fleshlight"?
