Professional Video of Pro Extreme Skiiers and Snowboarders in Powder

Beautiful professional done extreme skiing video of some pro extreme skiing enjoying the crazy deep powder in the backcountry off a mountain peak. They ski down, while seemingly defying physics, ridges that look vertical! They powder is heavenly and is completely untouched. To reach this kind of powder, the extreme skiers had to go up ski this remote backcountry mountain using a helicopter.

The professional extreme skiers jump off series of huge cliffs making it look like a piece of cake. This ski video also has some amazing shots of the skiers shot from the helicopter. There is even a scene of the helicopter while it’s filming the heliskiers.

Also, one of the most famous and circulated photos of extreme skiing as he skis down a vertical wall of snow in m this ski movie’s opening scene. Check it out!

Crazy and Funny Backcountry Skiing Crashes

An amazing video compilation showing some of the most spectacular backcountry skiing crashes ever captured on video. They risk their bodies on some crazy hard alpine terrain here including super steeps and areas full of cliffs.

Here, we see some extreme backcountry skiers doing their thing and failing miserably. They look like puppets after they fall. The worst fall I think is the snowboarder who loses it between some crazy cliffs and falls down what must be 200m of vertical. He falls off multiple cliffs, hits tons of rocks, yet he gets up at the end and raises his hands. Another skier ends up doing one and a half back flips of a cliff! His landing looks really, really painful! Ouch!

Some other falls include skiers getting caught in avalanches, doing some crazy tricks off cliffs and messing up, and just pure bad luck. Lots of face plants and lots of snow eaten!

I couldn’t help by laugh at some of these skiers fall. Some of the skier’s falls are hilarious!

Amazing Videos from Verbier Freeride Extreme 2006 Competition

This is some sick terrain out in the heart of the Swiss Alps, at the Verbier ski resort. There are lots of first person views giving you an idea of what it’s like to ski or snowboard down very steep backcountry slopes, that is 45 to 55 degree steeps. The skiers are really, doing some crazy ski tricks, including inversions, off the cliffs on this 500m vertical descent. There are even some well known pro freeride skiers such as Seb Michaud who does a massive backward loop off a cliff.

This extreme skiing video shows what freeriding and freeskiing is all about!

Compilation of 3 Cliff Drops Over 200 Feet High

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

Ski Tricks over a Huge Gap at Whistler

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!

Compilation of Alpine Ski Racers Falling and Crashing

I suggest you mute the music on this skiing video. Apart from the music, the ski crashes in this video are mostly of ski racers but it does include a sweet video clip of a skier skiing down an avalanche between two cliffs. There are some funny and embarrassing ski crashes in this video as well as some that just have to hurt.
