Canadian Skier survives 1,600 ft fall down near-vertical slope.


Ian McIntosh, a Canadian professional skier, went cartwheeling down a near vertical mountain in Alaska’s remote Neacola range last April, falling 1,600 feet in less than a minute and lived to talk about it. He suffered a sore neck and body, describing the experience as "gnarly." (Twitter/@imcintoshski)
