All I saw was a white screen. Turned out to be Ghostery blocking some content. Ghostery, you have a twisted sense of humour.
Thank you. I tried to figure out which one, but in the end just enabled everything.

#22What if the future of grade school textbooks was this. Learning would be fascinating. What a great design.
Encarta 95 was really great. Really set the tone for my decade later wikipedia browsing habit.

#23Trying to read this story was really frustrating on an iPhone. I had to keep swiping left and right because the zoom was locked to about double the width of my screen. It's a shame because, from the sound of the other comments, it sounds like a really nice layout on the desktop. It's a shame they destroyed the mobile experience.
On linux, whether it's Chrome or Firefox, none of the videos play. Really great experience but would love to see the videos. When I get home, I'll have to pop open my Mac to get the full experience.

#24Sigh, Flash crashed on me (Chrome 23, Windows 7 64-bit)...
I bet doing this in HTML5 would be more reliable.
Edit: the Flash content is the ad in the middle of the page, right after the following paragraph:
"To head straight down to the bottom is to enter what experts call a terrain trap: a funnel of trouble and clumsy skiing, clogged with trees and rocks and confined by high walls. Few go that way intentionally."
How saddening. They worked hard to make it HTML5 compliant, but the user experience for some is ruined by this ad crashing everything...

#25As an owner of an Avalanche Safety app mobile shop I'd say its amazing to get some of this innovation in to articles like this. Getting users to think about the judgement and impact of the choices they make when they are seeking this rush is a very challenging. Breaking the mold to make a possibly more impactful presentation is exactly what Avalanche education needs.
I completely agree. As a person that gets 50+ days skiing per year, and loves powder, you have to PAY ATTENTION. Those powder runs look great until you understand how wrong it can go.
And people, don't jump into tree runs to avoid anything. It's plenty fast in there and if you are too slow, you're dead.
It's OK to ask for a ride down from the lifties.

That's not my experience with Chrome on Linux; everything worked.

The videos on both Firefox 17 and Chrome 24 worked for me on Linux.

Works fine for me in Chrome and Firefox on Xubuntu.

#29The best long-form presentation of an article or essay I have ever seen on the internet.
Agreed. This article, more than anything else I've seen, convinced me that this is the future of news. Newspapers seem ridiculously outdated by comparison.

Working fine in Chrome on Mint here.
