I’ve been hitting the road finding adventures for months now, and decided it was time to take a break, at least for a weekend.

I thought I would share a film that crossed my path that definitely had my mind churning.

I ask, are you dreaming of just one more deep-powder day at your favorite ski area? I know I am, but just can’t get away.

No worries. I have the film to fix your powder needs.

“Steep,” an extreme-skiing documentary released by Sony Pictures on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, is one of the most epic ski films to date. At least on my list, and that does hold validity since I am snowboarded to the core, and have never skied a day in my life. Yet, this film has me feeling the desire to sway the other way!

This is not your typical ski film. “Steep” tracks the tales that gave birth to what is now coined extreme skiing.

You won’t find tamely groomed family ski-area runs here. This is what the pros call “big mountain” skiing, where the risks are so high that accidents usually end in death.

“Steep” pushes what is deemed impossible for most to the possible — for the few pros willing to risk it all for the rush of the most epic, pure powder runs known to man.

Follow the mountain-honored pros like Glen Plake and Seth Morrison as they play with the demons that are dancing in the back-country of the best mountains known to man.

Follow the big guns through their trek to push the limits of the Grand Tetons, the still powder of the Alaskan Valdez mountains and the beloved god-like mountains of Chamonix France, where half the battle of each run is the method chosen to get there.

Whether it’s a helli flight or climbing up a sheer mountain face, these skiers are willing to risk it all for that one epic run that makes it all worth it.

In wrap, if you are jones-ing for a big mountain fix, get “Steep: Without risk … there’s no adventure.”CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR MORE PHOTOS FROM MY ADVENTURES
