“Tried Figl yesterday, was fun, sort of.”
This video of a couple enjoying the sport of Figl by jumping into a steeply walled gully with a rushing torrent of heavy wet snow at the bottom had disaster written all over it but thankfully they were okay.

***Figl is short for firngleiter or “firn glider.” Firn is German for corn snow. The sport is popular in the Tirol area.
