It's recently been released and I've been chomping at the bit waiting for it.
I could shower it with adjectives but I won't, other than to say that it is utterly superb.

If you have any interest in skiing, ski mountaineering, or beautiful films of the alps, have a watch.

A lot of people would struggle to get up stuff he's skiing down at the motorway speed limit

In reply to ClimberEd:

Fabulous film; thanks for sharing.

In reply to ClimberEd:

Saw it on a big screen last week (as part of the Mountains on Stage filmshow) - superb!

In reply to ClimberEd:

Amazing, just watched this - thanks for sharing.

I know absolutely nothing about skiing so stupid question:

Why do they have to turn at all - why can't they just go down straight and super fast then turn out at the bottom of the slope?

In reply to ClimberEd:

Thanks for the reminder!

In reply to elliot.baker:

You have identified the reason already. It's the bit about "super fast."

In reply to elliot.baker:

Speed - control - and crashing (or avoiding crashing).

There's a good scene in one movie where some guys are looking at a face and the conversation goes something along the lines of 'I'll ski that line in 5 turns, no I'll ski that line in 3 turns, actually I'll ski that line in no turns.' As you get better at skiing you can do less turns on a line and follow it directly down.
