Professional Video of Pro Extreme Skiiers and Snowboarders in Powder

Beautiful professional done extreme skiing video of some pro extreme skiing enjoying the crazy deep powder in the backcountry off a mountain peak. They ski down, while seemingly defying physics, ridges that look vertical! They powder is heavenly and is completely untouched. To reach this kind of powder, the extreme skiers had to go up ski this remote backcountry mountain using a helicopter.

The professional extreme skiers jump off series of huge cliffs making it look like a piece of cake. This ski video also has some amazing shots of the skiers shot from the helicopter. There is even a scene of the helicopter while it’s filming the heliskiers.

Crazy and Funny Backcountry Skiing Crashes

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!

Beautiful Backcountry Skiing at The Canyons Resort

Some awesome camera work in this backcountry skiing video filmed at The Canyons Resort in Utah. The Canyons is the largest of the three ski resorts located in Park City, Utah, the other two are Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resort.

This is some of the best filming I’ve ever seen for an extreme skiing movie. There are some telemarkers in this video as well as some nice snowboarding off some cliffs that are just covered under a huge amount of snow. The terrain isn’t particularly hard and the skiers don’t do anything spectacular, but this is a great overview of what backcountry extreme skiing is for most of us. Loads and loads of champagne powder too. The skiers have a huge tail of powder snow behind them as the ski down the ski slopes.

Just can’t say it enough, the scenes in this video are amazing!

Amazing Videos from Verbier Freeride Extreme 2006 Competition

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!

Banff Backcountry Ski and Snowboard Contest – Big Bang 2008

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.

Amateurs Skiglinding in Bozeman, Montana

Most of you have see the famous ski gliding video that’s out there. Here is another extreme ski video of some amateurs also ski gliding, but not as crazy.

The amateur backcountry extreme skiers get towed up a hill in Bozeman, Montana while on ski by a snowmobile. The skiers then kind of slingshot themselves while on skis and use a parachute to paraglide down the mountain. Looks fun, but those are some crazy skiers try to ski glide.

Beaver Creek Colorado Ski Race Crash of Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal

A training run on the Birds of Prey downhill race at Beaver Creek Ski Resort, near Avon Colorado in the Rocky Mountrains, turns tragic for Norwegian alpine skier Aksel Lund Svindal. As the ski racer speeds down the slope, he gets some big air off a lip and somersaults into the protective fencing. The skiing accident is horrible and he ends up in the hospital with career threatening injuries. He recovers  however, and a year later is back to World Cup ski racing getting his first two new victories at the same place he suffered his ski accident, at Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA.

The Birds of Prey downhill ski racing course is a challenging run with up to 45 degree slopes used for World Cup Skiing Super-G, and Super combined races. This run at Beaver Creek, Colorado, has a vertical drop of over 2600 feet This ski racing videos shows Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal horrible accident during training for such an event.

Awesome Deep Powder Skiing in the Glades

As the title of this video says, the coolest extreme skiing dudes, is a really cool ski video of extreme skiing in the woods. The pro extreme skiers go ski jumping over cliffs in the glades, go down some crazy steeps between cliffs, and do some simple tricks all with great camera work in some really deep powder. These extreme skiers make it look too easy.

On top of the amazing deep powder skiing, there is also some solid telemark skiing.

The scenery is also splendid, would love to go skiing there. Unfortunately, I have no idea where this video is filmed…
