Steep: Big Mountain Skiing

Posted by Trish18 Mar 4, 2008

Steep is a feature documentary about bold adventure, exquisite athleticism and the pursuit of a perfect moment on skis. It is the story of big mountain skiing, a sport that barely existed 35 years ago.

It started in the 1970s in the mountains above Chamonix, France, where skiers began to attempt ski descents so extreme that they appeared almost suicidal. Now, two generations later, some of the world's greatest skiers pursue the exhilaration of skiing and exploring big, wild, remote mountains.

This film was shot in Alaska, Wyoming, Canada, France and Iceland. Check out the beautiful views and incredible skiing:

The flips at the end were unreal. Very cool video. I'm curious to learn more about the guy who said, "as soon as I got out of jail...I went skiing...back to where I had to go to make it all right again". Interesting comment.
