Pro backcountry skiers and snowboarders, Glen Plake, Mike Hattrup, and Scott Schmidt ski in some champagne powder in the backcountry of Revelstoke, located in the Rockies of British Columbia. Revelstock opened in 2007 and has the highest vertical in North America. These professional extreme skiers however heliski and cat ski on Revelstock to get to virgin snow.
In this extreme skiing video, there is not only skiing but also some telemarking and snowboarding. There are some beautiful shots of the area if you want to see how the Revelstock Panorama and skiing terrain looks like.
In terms of extreme skiing competitions, the Winter X Games is the best known. For the last 8 years, it’s been held in Aspen Colorado and attracts some of the best extreme skiing and snowboarders from around the world.
In this extreme skiing video, Jon Olsson and Simon Dumont compete for the gold in the finals if the Big Air Skiing competition. Jon Olsson does an inverted 1080 while holding a grab the whole time, he also takes off and lands backwards. The second extreme skier, Simon Dumont does a front flip like it’s nothing on the run up to the big air jump. Off the big air jump, he does another front flip, then, while doing the second front flip, does a Superman. Both jumps are executed flawlessly, and the landings are perfect.
—-> FUNNY <—-
Also, for a laugh, check out 1:44 of the video where the camera man falls off the jump, LOL.
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.
Professional skiers jumping over a gap doing many crazy tricks such as 1080 inversions, flips, grabs, and many combinations. If you’ve played the tony hawk type games on the different consoles, the tricks these professional skiers do in this extreme skiing video are very similar.
The jump is man made at Whistler, in the Rockies. The gap I estimate is about 5m, and the skiers are in the air for a good 3-4 seconds!
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!
Some extremes ski tricks in this ski video are performed at this competition. Huge air including many inverted 1080s. The video starts off with some big crashes and then starts showing some of the best ski tricks performed at the competion. Whister is also a huge mountain, one of the best skiing experiances in the world and the host of the 2010 Olympics.
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.
This guy drops a beutiful 25 foot cliff in the woods drop in the Tea Cup Bowl in Vail, Colorado. Beutiful weather in the Rockies with lots of deep snow in the glades. Unfortunately not so beautiful a landing.
