Without Risk... There Is No Adventure

We all love movies, but this weekend a movie of stunning visuals and storytelling arrives in theaters, and it’s not the latest Tom Cruise film. This film instead focuses on something near and dear to our hearts: Skiing. Do the names Glen Plake, Chris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom, and Seth Morrison ring any bells?

"STEEP" traces the sport of extreme skiing from its beginnings in the mountains high above Chamonix, France to the aerial acrobatics and death-defying descents performed by the current generation of big mountain skiers. The film merges rarely seen images of the sport’s beginnings with magnificent original footage of the sport today, including BASE-jumping with skis off cliffs in the remote backcountry of British Columbia and Alaska, skiers overtaken by an avalanche in Iceland and descents in the mountains of France so dangerous they will never be repeated.

Shot in stunning high-definition and film, "STEEP" is about a group of exquisitely gifted and daring athletes who have taken the sport of skiing far beyond the confines of the ski resort and into a vertical world where only a few have ventured before.

Sound like something right up your alley? if you want more details then head over to www.ColoradoSki.com/SteepMovie for locations where you can see it here in Colorado (as well as around the country) and even see a trailer. This is one epic film that you will not want to miss.
