In this extreme skiing video we get to watch professional skiers Szczepan Karpiel, Pepe Kalensky, Tomek Paździor, Marek Doniec, Staszek Karpiel, Robin Holub, Martin Horak, and others doing some crazy ski tricks in the park on the Hintertux Glacier in the Austrian Alps. The tricks are all executed perfectly and include front flips, back flips, inversions, 1080s, grabs, and many combinations of ski tricks.

The Hintertux ski area in Austria is one of the few ski resorts open all year round. the highest lift goes up to 3250m and the summit is 3476m above sea level. Beautiful mountain landscape in that area!

Amazing skiing conditions in Val d’Isère with 3 feet of fresh powder on the ground. These extreme skiers catch these conditions and film this ski video at the top of Glacier de Pisaillas. Val d’Isère is one of the best and biggest ski resorts in the French Alps. There is plenty of skiing for everyone, from beginners to backcountry experts as can be seen in this video.

Watch in this ski video and how pro skiers, which are part of the Bonskieur Ski Team,  ski in deep powder. The terrain isn’t very hard or steep but any extreme backcountry skier would dream of going down a run like that. Can’t catch conditions like this everyday.

The town of the resort is Chamonix and is well known as one of the best ski resorts in the world.

The snow skiers in this video ski do some hiking using freeride binding that unhook at the heel and then ski down some incredible steeps in the glaciers in powder only found in the backcountry.

Note that most of the skiing starts after the half way point of the video.

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.

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.

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.
