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.
“I love Jay but I’m Not Gay”
Ski video of extreme skiing in some crazy deep powder in the backcountry of various places. Produced by Level 1 productions. Some sick skiing and boarding in some sick terrain. This is how backcountry skiing was meant to be done!

From the many Colorado ski resorts that exist, Aspen is one of the best. This video shows some downhill skiing in the Colorado’s backcountry in some fresh powder. The terrain is pretty open and looks amazing.
60cm (24 inches) of fresh powder makes for some amazing skiing conditions in the extreme skiing video filmed in the backcountry in Alta, Utah. Alta is famous for its backcountry and amazing snow conditions, the extreme skiers in this video know how rare conditions like these are and take full advantage of them. This is close to Salt Lake City, where the 2002 Winter Olympic Games took place.
The ski is blue and the snow is fresh, making for some of the best filming conditions. The skiers in this ski video don’t do anything crazy or any cliffs, but they have near perfect form and there is a bit of glade skiing too!
This skiing video starts with some nice shots of people skiing in the glades. A skier then skis down a clearing between some trees in the backcountry and then you can see an avalanche starting. The skier then falls and the avalanche becomes huge. Pretty scary stuff, doesn’t even look like avalanche prone terrain.
This extreme skiing video was filmed by National Geographic.
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!
Here is a skiing video of some guy skiing through the glades at Mad River Glen in Vermont. Mad River Glen is one of my favorite resorts and it’s in Vermont. It is a backcountry skier’s heaven as it has plenty of snow and some of the most unforgiving terrain possible all with a “ski it if you can” policy. This ski video is a bit short but the skiing is solid and shows some of the terrain available out there.
Out in Montana, 16 miles north of Bozeman, there is a ski resort which gets loads of powder. In this vide, the guys skiing are so deep in powder that only their heads barely stick out. It won the 2001 Powder Video Magazine Awards.
It’s every skiers wish to catch a powder day like this one.
It just snowed 60 inches in the past couple days and these guys decided to hike up Big Jay. Big Jay is a mountain located near Jay Peak, Vermont. It is accessed by a 1 to 1.5 hour long hike from the peak. It is all backcountry glades out there and lots of pure, outouched, virgin powder.
