So this is apparently, the second time this group of Canadian skiers have attempted this stunt at Mont Saint-Sauveur in the Laurentian mountains in Quebec, which means that the first time didn’t go very well. But you know what they say, attitude determines altitude, and that applies in this case literally and figuratively.
With all that being said, this is a really impressive feat, it’s hard enough doing a backflip on dry land, without skis attached to your feet.
