An unfortunate mistake turned into a pretty sick clip for snowboarder Aiden Hascall who lost his snowboard while popping a cornice and opted to take the fastest way down a cliff to retrieve it. Well done:

“Popped a cornice today and lost my board. I was packing a take off and when I slapped my board down the cornice broke off. I had to drop the board and reach for safety. Fortunately, I didn’t go with it. Still got my big mountain line though.” -Aiden Hacall
