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!

The finals of the final Freeride World Tour 2009 tour. The scenery in amazing out in Verbier with only mountains in sight. The weather is bluebird skis that was made for skiing.
