Pro backcountry skiers and snowboarders, Glen Plake, Mike Hattrup, and Scott Schmidt ski in some champagne powder in the backcountry of Revelstoke, located in the Rockies of British Columbia. Revelstock opened in 2007 and has the highest vertical in North America. These professional extreme skiers however heliski and cat ski on Revelstock to get to virgin snow.
In this extreme skiing video, there is not only skiing but also some telemarking and snowboarding. There are some beautiful shots of the area if you want to see how the Revelstock Panorama and skiing terrain looks like.
Professional skiers jumping over a gap doing many crazy tricks such as 1080 inversions, flips, grabs, and many combinations. If you’ve played the tony hawk type games on the different consoles, the tricks these professional skiers do in this extreme skiing video are very similar.
The jump is man made at Whistler, in the Rockies. The gap I estimate is about 5m, and the skiers are in the air for a good 3-4 seconds!
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.
