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!

Arne Backstorm, an amazing skier who unfortunately died this week while skiing in the mountains in Peru, won the 2010 Freeskiing World Tour in Revelstoke BC, a world renown backcountry skiing heaven. Here is a ski video of his winning run off a mountain peak in Revelstoke. The winning ski run includes many obstacles and difficulties such as rocks, deep powder, and cliff drops.

The winner is selected by a panel of judges based on ski technique, speed, and difficulty of line. This is an all out awesome backcountry ski run. Backcounty skiing technique doesn’t get more perfect than this!

A guy crashes while going off some cliffs a the US Freeski Nationals. This is a championship where expert backcountry skiers compete showing what tricks they can do off natural obstacles such as rocks and cliffs. They championship was held in Snowbird, Utah. There’s some nice terrain out there.

This guy’s fall looks painful, but some nice skiing none the less.
