Who is the legend who skied down beaver brook, NH recently?

I hiked Mt Moosilauke today via beaver brook trail and a solo skier had skied not the trail, but the actual brook over some pretty hairy lines and around some holes.

Is this a line that people actually ski regularly? I did a search and found nothing. For those unfamiliar, it's a cascading stream of considerable pitch. It actually looks super dangerous to ski, especially alone.

Has anyone skied the tunnel at Alpe d'huez? The piste starts at 3330m, and from here you have to take a black run to get down the mountain. The 'tunnel' run starts like a regular black run, then you go into a 200 meter long man made tunnel and pop out at the top of a horrific slope

un groomed, bad snow, rocks, very steep, skiers in trouble everywhere. Here are some videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Ms4bIpRdM - short edit of two guys having a go at it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR2vageViyw - at 18second in a skier take a 22 second tumble with out his skis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvMEGhE9K4U - multi camera edit which talks about the above crash and witnesses a bigger crash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOmUbJojh9k - a french guy out of his depth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZPn2I36X-s - full run with off piste - good skier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCpFZsBve-U - full run in spring conditions, rocks, ice, slush, - good skier.

http://www.piste-maps.co.uk/Piste-Maps/France/Alpe-dHuez-Piste-Map-2012-Large.jpg - piste map. The tunnel looks the easy way down from the tourist magnet summit as its the shortest length of black run.

I have not been to this resort in winter, this run looks bucket list worthy, and a good place to sit down for half an hour, have lunch and watch some quality skiing.
