For the first ever ski gliding decent of the Eiger mountain in the Swiss Alps, the ski glider used a helmet cam. This first person view of ski gliding provides for some beautiful shots allows you to experience ski gliding as if you were doing it. The ski video is very still and clear too, pretty rare for a helmet cam.

A sweet ski video with some original tricks. A guy does a lateral flip off a cliff midway through the video, there are multiple front and back flips, and inversions. It is snowing almost the whole time as is coming in Jackson Hole and the power is so deep you can barely make the skiers out at times. Although this is filmed by amateurs but it is better than many professionally done videos and they ski as well as most professionals.

Jackson Hole is a dream for many extreme skiers and is one of the world’s best and most famous backcountry ski resorts in the world. The backcountry is huge, open to extreme skiers and riders, is full of an obstacles, and has many unique areas. Some of the world’s hardest and most extreme skiing terrain can be found here. It is however located in Wyoming which makes it hard to get to but in turn creates a much more wilderness skiing atmosphere when compared to the resort type ski resorts.

Some extremes ski tricks in this ski video are performed at this competition. Huge air including many inverted 1080s. The video starts off with some big crashes and then starts showing some of the best ski tricks performed at the competion. Whister is also a huge mountain, one of the best skiing experiances in the world and the host of the 2010 Olympics.

Heliskiing out in New Zealand on some untouched virgin snow. Brad Holmes and the company at chainsaw protections have some amazing camera men tape them as they ski down some crazy steeps and in between rocks. There are some cliffs, but nothing major. Lots of nice powder around too!

This video was made in the 60s with some retro backcountry skiers skiing in Courchevel, in the French Alps. Warren Miller take us back in time, before the days of avalanche transmitters, they used balloons filled with helium as seen in this video. Some of the skiers in this video are not the best, but it’s still an interested view back.

Out at the top of some mountains with beautiful, clear blue skis, a skier decides to go jump off a cliff. This is no ordinary jump however as he does a back flip while jump off the 100ft high cliff. He executes it perfectly.

Watch Yuichiro Mirua as he skis down Mount Everest. He was the first person to do so back in 1975, climbing up to 29 029 feet above sea level and then skiing down 6600 feet of vertical. His skiing is not the best and for some reason he uses a parachute behind him (I guess in case he falls down a cliff), but it’s still amazing to watch. He is one lucky guy with lots of guts to ski down the tallest mountain on Earth. This has to be the most amazing and extreme backcountry that there is on Earth.

A guy does a 720 grab off a jump he built with some friends in the back country. He takes off, everything looks like it’s going well, but everything changes once he touches the ground. He lands and then flips over himself no less than 7 times while staying stiff as a wooden board.

Gotta hurt, next time tuck your head in!

Just as he starts to ski down a 800 foot vertical drop high up in the Chugach Mountains near Valdez Alaska, Garret Bartelt’s ski tip catches the ground and flips him over. There are rocks sticking out everywhere and the path is pretty narrow at times. Garret end up falling the hole way down miraculasely missing most of the rocks in the way, only hitting 5 of them. He survives the accident with only a compound fracture to his leg and some cuts and bruises. That was one amazing fall, not many people can fall like that and survive to tell the story much less with only minor injuries.

Some crazy Austrians get bored and decide to go up the Timmelsjoch Hochalpenstrasse which is on the border of Austria and Italy. They make a huge jump over the mountain road and then take turns jumping over the road. Sometimes they time is right so that the skier jumps over cars that are going up the road. These guys are nuts.
