Ultimate Rush

Antoine Montant, Francois Bon, and Hervé Cerutti aspire to integrate climbing, flying and skiing in the sport of speed riding. The athletes challenge the mountains of the French Alps near Chamonix.

Skiers scope out steep mountain faces, kayakers seek monumental waterfalls and bikers plunge into dense forests, all in search of the extreme landscapes that provide the perfect line.

Professional skiers James Heim, Mark Abma, and Eric “Hoji” Hjorleifson go ski touring in search of big mountain backcountry powder they call “Epic Pow”. With bare necessities the athletes survive in huts of the British Columbia mountains. They ski a variety of terrain including pillow features and spine zones.

Professional freeskiers Eric Hjorleifson, James Heim, and Ingrid Backstrom seek a vast isolated landscape just northwest of Whistler, BC. The Meager Group offers insane possibilities with amazing spine lines. They set up up a base camp near the hot springs. They wait out the weather hoping for a perfect day. Eric experiences the extremes of glory and pain in the line of his life.

Extreme skiing is defined with bigger lines, bigger mountains, and steeper faces. They say, “You fall, you die.” Professional skiers Chris Davenport and Stian Hagen sit down with the pioneer of extreme skiing Sylvain Saudan. The athletes share the truth they gain by using big mountains to peer into the depths of themselves. Chris and Stian ski the remote peaks of Alaska getting too close to “the red line.”

Haines, Alaska for professional skiers is considered The Dream Trip. Big mountain skiers Daron Rahlves and Henrik Windstedt challenge their skills when they decide to run a line together. Ingrid Backstrom, JT Holmes, and Shane McConkey face dangerous weather when they arrive in Haines. Mark Abma and Eric Hjorleifson lead the young talent of Sean Petit on a first time heli trip.
