Arne Backstorm, an amazing skier who unfortunately died this week while skiing in the mountains in Peru, won the 2010 Freeskiing World Tour in Revelstoke BC, a world renown backcountry skiing heaven. Here is a ski video of his winning run off a mountain peak in Revelstoke. The winning ski run includes many obstacles and difficulties such as rocks, deep powder, and cliff drops.

The winner is selected by a panel of judges based on ski technique, speed, and difficulty of line. This is an all out awesome backcountry ski run. Backcounty skiing technique doesn’t get more perfect than this!

Beautiful blue bird skis on a heliski trip in the New Zealand Mountains. The backcountry heliskiing video has some beautiful footage from inside the chopper as the skiers are traveling to their destination deep in the New Zealand backcountry.

The terrain is easy with some amazing camera work. If you were ever tempted to start heli-skiing, the terrain they show in this video shows how easy the backcountry terrain can be. Great skiing technique from the skiers.

If you can’t want for the North American/European winter to come back,this ski video shows why you should go skiing in New Zealand.

Most of you have see the famous ski gliding video that’s out there. Here is another extreme ski video of some amateurs also ski gliding, but not as crazy.

The amateur backcountry extreme skiers get towed up a hill in Bozeman, Montana while on ski by a snowmobile. The skiers then kind of slingshot themselves while on skis and use a parachute to paraglide down the mountain. Looks fun, but those are some crazy skiers try to ski glide.

A great ski video of my favorite type of skiing! Skiing in the woods! These skiers are great and the ski video footage is amazing as they ski through the area I fell in love with skiing, Vermont USA.

As a note from the uploader, there is a small part of the skiing video that is filmed outside Vermont in New Hampshire on Mount Washington, a well known extreme skiing location in Eastern USA.

A really great video with footage filmed from a helicopter and helmet cams. A group of expert amateur skiers take a helicopter up Mount Currie, 40km  North-West of Whistler, British Columbia, and part of the Canadian Rockier. They then proceed to ski down the steep terrain full of cliffs with excellent camera angels and solid skiing skills.

Watch and enjoy the first person views and experience what it feels like to ski down the very steep slopes of Mount Currie in the Canadian Rockies.

As the title of this video says, the coolest extreme skiing dudes, is a really cool ski video of extreme skiing in the woods. The pro extreme skiers go ski jumping over cliffs in the glades, go down some crazy steeps between cliffs, and do some simple tricks all with great camera work in some really deep powder. These extreme skiers make it look too easy.

On top of the amazing deep powder skiing, there is also some solid telemark skiing.

The scenery is also splendid, would love to go skiing there. Unfortunately, I have no idea where this video is filmed…

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.

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

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.
