POV Helmet Cam Skiing at Bridger Bowl, a great family holiday ski resort in Montana. The ski area is well known in the world of extrene skiing because of the expert backcountry skiing area called “The Ridge”. The Ridge backcountry skiing area has 6 sections and requires that the backcountry skier carries avalanche equipment and is trained in its use. The quality and quantity of the powder snow here is world famous!

The skier in this ski videos has a camera mounted to his helmet and goes down some of the great backcountry terrain in The Riddge area at Bridger Bowl. The slopes are steap here and have lots of natural obstacles, with plenty of trees and rocks hidden by the snow. There is however lots and lots of powder as this video shows. It looks real fun and the snow looks almost untouched. A long hike is required to reach this ares and seems well worth it.

The ski video starts with 3 friends all pumped up about going on a backcountry heliskiing trip. The helicopter drops the skiers at the top of a remote backcountry skiing mountain and then starts filming their decent. Just a few seconds after the three skiers start their descent, the snow around them starts breaking and a massive avalanche starts. The narrator says the avalanche is going over 250 km/h per hour and looks very serious. There are lots of dangerous looking cliffs and rocks down the very long avalanche tract too!

The helicopter filming the skiers gives an amazing view of what happens during an avalanche. Amazingly, all three of the extreme skiers survived the avalanche and one gives an interview at the end of this ski video.

All the backcountry skiers here should remember! When skiing in avalanche prone backcountry skiing terrain, always go down one at a time, never ride all at one! That’s the most important rule!
