Extreme Steeps

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!

Banff Backcountry Ski and Snowboard Contest – Big Bang 2008

Sweet ski video of the annual Banff Big Bang Backcountry Skiing and Snowboarding Contest out in the scenic, Canadian Rockies. This backcountry skiing video includes BIG air jumps, Step ups, and Cliff Jumping. There is a bit of glade skiing with some grinding on trees, but it is very easy gladed terrain here in Banff compared to what is seen in Vermont.

There are some sick extreme ski jumps in the video including many flips. Some of the skiers and snowboarders going off the cliffs look like they’re about to kill themselves however after coming very close to falling after the first part of the cliff jump. Most of the competitors aren’t pros, just expert and experianced amateurs doing there thing.

These are great contests to enter if you enjoy extreme skiing. Most big mountains known for their backcountry and extreme ski slopes organize annual tournaments like this.

Awesome Deep Powder Skiing in the Glades

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…

Skiing into Corbet’s Couloir at Jaskon Hole. Guy Gets Injured!

Corbet’s Couloir is the most famous and hardest run at Jackson Hole in Wyoming.  It is one of the few slopes to have its own wikipedia article! Here are some highlights:

“Currently rated #4 on the top fifty things for skiers to do before they die, it holds an international reputation among expert skiers, and has been described as “America’s scariest ski slope

“Entrance into the couloir requires dropping off a cornice with a free fall ranging from 10 to 30 feet (9.1 m) depending upon snow conditions, landing on a 60 plus degree slope.”

So it’s pretty hard. In this ski video, we see the guy skiing up to the ski run, past a big “CLOSED” sign. They chill up at the top and watch a guy ski down it nicely. The camera man’s friend then jumps in, doesn’t look too good. We are then informed that he “yard saled” and see him collecting his equipment. Ends up he has an ACL injury, that sucks. Awesome run though!

Mt Blanc Glacier Skiing in March

Here we have a Mt Blanc glacier ski video filmed on the Brenva Glacier in the backcountry of Chamonix. For those who don’t know, Mt Blanc is the highest peak in the Europe and is located in the French Alps, close to the Swiss border. 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.

Some beautiful backcountry ski footage in Hurrungane, Norway. These guys ski down the craziest steep I’ve seen. It’s a sheet of snow over some rocks at a slop that is probably over 75 degrees! These guys show us what ski touring is all about.

This extreme skiing video is filmed in the three valleys area in Norway. The valleys are: Skagadalen, Riingsdalen, and Styggedalen.
