This vlog shows Ben Krasnow’s freeheel ski descent of “Talk is Cheap,” a highly exposed line on Cody Peak in the Teton backcountry. You’ll notice another skier in the couloir, visible after Ben’s rappel. He side-stepped back up and out of Central Chute after chickening out at the hair-raising exit.
Additional cinematography by Darryl Miller of Storm Show Studios and Chris Kitchen of KGB Productions.
Hey Dave!
Cool footage! Not sure if Andrew Mclean would call that a true descent…since Newk skied further down.
Rad!

I call bs.. How the hell could anyone side-step all the way up from that point (back through the crux, very steep section above, cornice)??? He probably just let you go so you could film
