Also: Freezing right away when you stop moving at 8k altitude? I was just skiing at 11k and it never even crossed my mind.

8k meters. There is no place at 11k where you can ski.

You could be on skis they might make it harder to control your parachute.

Yes. They were talking about 8,000 metres of altitude. (Talking about Mallory should have been a clue too.)

Not right away. But a lot depends on the wind.
