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!

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.

In this extreme skiing video we get to watch professional skiers Szczepan Karpiel, Pepe Kalensky, Tomek Paździor, Marek Doniec, Staszek Karpiel, Robin Holub, Martin Horak, and others doing some crazy ski tricks in the park on the Hintertux Glacier in the Austrian Alps. The tricks are all executed perfectly and include front flips, back flips, inversions, 1080s, grabs, and many combinations of ski tricks.

The Hintertux ski area in Austria is one of the few ski resorts open all year round. the highest lift goes up to 3250m and the summit is 3476m above sea level. Beautiful mountain landscape in that area!

In terms of extreme skiing competitions, the Winter X Games is the best known. For the last 8 years, it’s been held in Aspen Colorado and attracts some of the best extreme skiing and snowboarders from around the world.

In this extreme skiing video, Jon Olsson and Simon Dumont compete for the gold in the finals if the Big Air Skiing competition. Jon Olsson does an inverted 1080 while holding a grab the whole time, he also takes off and lands backwards. The second extreme skier, Simon Dumont does a front flip like it’s nothing on the run up to the big air jump. Off the big air jump, he does another front flip, then, while doing the second front flip, does a Superman. Both jumps are executed flawlessly, and the landings are perfect.

—-> FUNNY <—-

Also, for a laugh, check out 1:44 of the video where the camera man falls off the jump, LOL.

This ski video is filmed in Hokkaido Japan in some insanely deep and fresh powder.

The filming is top notch with beautiful lighting and amazing camera angles of people skiing, snowboarding, and telemarking in the Japanese backcountry. The skiers do all sorts of tricks including flips and inversions in the glades as well as above the treeline.

Never thought the skiing in Japan was so good!

A sweet ski video with some original tricks. A guy does a lateral flip off a cliff midway through the video, there are multiple front and back flips, and inversions. It is snowing almost the whole time as is coming in Jackson Hole and the power is so deep you can barely make the skiers out at times. Although this is filmed by amateurs but it is better than many professionally done videos and they ski as well as most professionals.

Jackson Hole is a dream for many extreme skiers and is one of the world’s best and most famous backcountry ski resorts in the world. The backcountry is huge, open to extreme skiers and riders, is full of an obstacles, and has many unique areas. Some of the world’s hardest and most extreme skiing terrain can be found here. It is however located in Wyoming which makes it hard to get to but in turn creates a much more wilderness skiing atmosphere when compared to the resort type ski resorts.
