Hilarious Ski accident! Skier Does a Jump and Crashes Into a Wall of Snow!

Wednesday 24 February 2010 @ 9:53 am

Here’s a funny ski jumping video of a hilarious accident. The skier jumps of a 2m high ramp in the backcountry trying to land on a landing that’s higher than the jump. He fails to clear the gap, mistaking the speed required to clear it, and crashes into the wall of snow head first! This video is legendary.

Compilation of 3 Cliff Drops Over 200 Feet High

Friday 15 January 2010 @ 6:10 am

Crazy skiers dropping 200+ feet on skis. Check out the 2nd one, he almost hits a huge rock at the bottom, must be inches away from it! The mini avalanches he creates while getting speed for the jump are pretty cool. The highest is 245 feet. I can’t imagine what goes through their minds as they jump…

If you are wondering why they are landing upside down but slightly on their backs after the cliff drops it’s because the force of the landing will probably break their legs.

Here’s the name and height of each crazy high cliff jump:

  • Titus Engelborg ski jumps off a 210 foot high clif
  • Leo Brayman sk jumps off a 230 foot high cliff
  • Jamie Pierre ski jumps off a 245 foot high cliff

Jay Peak 70 inches (175cm) of Champagne Powder!

Wednesday 6 January 2010 @ 5:55 pm

Some sweet video shots of deep powder skiing in the glades at one of the best ski resorts on the East Coast. The riders know what they’re doing as they fly between obstacles. Can’t stop talking saying good things about Jay Peak, most snow in the East (32 feet!) and lots and lots of crazy expert ski terrain in the woods.

It’s normally hard to get decent video out in the forest but these guys do an amazing job. There’s a close moment in the middle of the video where a rider does a cliff drop in the glades and almost lands on another riders, but nothing happened.

“I love Jay but I’m Not Gay”

Skiing Tuckerman Ravine on Mt Washington in April 2009

Friday 4 September 2009 @ 6:35 pm

Skiing Tuckerman Ravine, a steep skiing area on Mt Washington, New Hampshire, the highest mountain peak in Eastern North America, is a popular backcountry skiers location. There is a pretty long hike up, about 2km in the spring when the road opens and over 5km before. It is very popular in the Spring time, sometimes open till June, as it is less likely for avalanches to occur then and the weather is warmer. At the peak of the season, there can be 1000 backcountry skiers in skiing Tuckerman’s Ravine and jumping off the many cliffs. There is now also a t-bar which can take you about half way up. The area is also patrolled by a volunteer ski patrol during peak times.

In this backcountry skiing video, you follow a group of skiers and snowboarders as they hike up to Tuckerman Ravine. They then film some skiers going down, one of them doing a small cliff jump. They then film their decent as they ski down Tuckerman Ravine and had into the wooded area. I never knew there ware glades in that area.

This ski video provides a great overview of the skiing at Mt Washington for anyone interested in backountry skiing areas.

Skiing in 3 Feet of Powder in Val d’Isère

Thursday 3 September 2009 @ 12:46 pm

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.
