Kurt Welden, 31, of Austria got in way over his head on the Moelltal Glacier in Carinthia, Austria last week and had to be rescued, according to a story in the Mirror.
A reckless snowboarder clings to the mountainside inches from certain death on the edge of a cliff. . . He had left the safety of the piste . . . in search of fresh powder. . . After stopping he managed to dig away enough snow so his board wouldn’t slip while he waited for help.
Guess the moral of the story is don’t ever ride with Kurt Welden.

Why is it that snowboarders are always desribed as the “reckless” ones? Like the plankers and the gay bladers are the safe ones?
