Maybe that's why I mentioned that
This clip is better, being in the original 16:9 format

The clip is from a best selling DVD called "First Descent": as my boarder son says, Terje Haakonsen is "the Godfather" of snowboarding
Shaun White and Travis Rice have a few runs under their belts as well, but having been pro boarding for 15 years, you'd know that, wouldn't you
Another clip here shows some better footage of the initial helicopter drop, and some aerial footage too
