Three Backcountry Skiers get Caught in a Huge Avalanche

Wednesday 1 December 2010 @ 7:37 pm

The ski video starts with 3 friends all pumped up about going on a backcountry heliskiing trip. The helicopter drops the skiers at the top of a remote backcountry skiing mountain and then starts filming their decent. Just a few seconds after the three skiers start their descent, the snow around them starts breaking and a massive avalanche starts. The narrator says the avalanche is going over 250 km/h per hour and looks very serious. There are lots of dangerous looking cliffs and rocks down the very long avalanche tract too!

The helicopter filming the skiers gives an amazing view of what happens during an avalanche. Amazingly, all three of the extreme skiers survived the avalanche and one gives an interview at the end of this ski video.

All the backcountry skiers here should remember! When skiing in avalanche prone backcountry skiing terrain, always go down one at a time, never ride all at one! That’s the most important rule!

Skiing in Early Season Powder in St. Anton, Austria

Thursday 18 November 2010 @ 4:18 pm

Beautiful Powder Day with a blue bird sky in the Austrian Alps, in the state of Tyrol. Filmed at the beginning of December 2008, at the very start of the ski season, the skiers lucked out and have some amazing pow pow to ski in. The Arlberg moutains offer some amazing views and beautiful terrain. The terrain there, as in all of Austria, isn’t the most difficult, but still a good time for all. The scenery makes up for it though.

This backcountry ski video is filmed on the Arlberg Mountain Range and includes the ski resorts of St. Anton, Lech, Zürs, Stuben, and St. Christoph, although the ticket is valid at all of them. This forms one of the largest ski areas in the world accessible with one path, 86 lifts, 280km of runs, and a vertical of over 1500m of vertical.

Amateur Heliskiing on Mt. Cook in New Zealand

Wednesday 9 June 2010 @ 3:36 am

Beautiful blue bird skis on a heliski trip in the New Zealand Mountains. The backcountry heliskiing video has some beautiful footage from inside the chopper as the skiers are traveling to their destination deep in the New Zealand backcountry.

The terrain is easy with some amazing camera work. If you were ever tempted to start heli-skiing, the terrain they show in this video shows how easy the backcountry terrain can be. Great skiing technique from the skiers.

If you can’t want for the North American/European winter to come back,this ski video shows why you should go skiing in New Zealand.

Skiing in 3 Feet of Powder in Val d’Isère

Thursday 3 September 2009 @ 12:46 pm

Amazing skiing conditions in Val d’Isère with 3 feet of fresh powder on the ground. These extreme skiers catch these conditions and film this ski video at the top of Glacier de Pisaillas. Val d’Isère is one of the best and biggest ski resorts in the French Alps. There is plenty of skiing for everyone, from beginners to backcountry experts as can be seen in this video.

Watch in this ski video and how pro skiers, which are part of the Bonskieur Ski Team,  ski in deep powder. The terrain isn’t very hard or steep but any extreme backcountry skier would dream of going down a run like that. Can’t catch conditions like this everyday.
