Amazing line - maybe one day it'll go 'free' but skiing needs people like Andreas to open new possibilities. Just like climbers opening new lines on big mountains that may later be 'freed' - this guy is pushing boundaries.
As has been said Andreas address's the issue on his blog.
To put the angle of the slope in some perspective imagine standing on a step ladder sideways - that gives some perspective of the slope angle. Illustrated here by the great and sadly late Remy Lecluse -

Andreas would also be skiing the slope from memory as the line would be difficult to ascertain from above. In soem ways he'd be skiing 'blind'.
