Hold my beer while a take a run, will ya?  Actually, it’s Candide Thovex, professional athlete, making a spectacular run off-piste somewhere in the Alps.  Some might say this kind of extreme skiing is irresponsible; others might say there is skill here to be admired.  Whatever your stance on this kind of dramatic skiing activity, you have to say this 30-second video clip gives you an emotional hit. Did we mention the two avalanches?

How say you? Folly? Finesse?  Other?  Let us know.
