wow, i could do what he is doing, and i have only been skiing for like two years, this video sucks, but in all fairness this is decades old, skiing has advance an incredible amount since then
If the camera were not tilted, and he was at the angle he is, he would simply fall down. Annoying music, and dull video... a guy doing a hundred hops on a steep slope. Give me a snowboarder any time.
everyone needs to realize that the SNOW CONDITIONS he is skiing on are probably some of the worst with that degree of slope...it's not like he is carving some uber pow
my father skied with this guy so I know that what he does is still the most extreme of its kind. He's gone down slopes with an angle of 63 degrees, that is still a world record. If somoene skied that full speed they would most definitely die.
How many of you have ever been skiing above the clouds? Second, if U didn't notice, this is an old video, back when people skied on skis much longer than those typically used today. This guy looks to be jumping and swinging some pretty long old-school skis back and forth. Remember, they were also much heavier back in the 70's and 80's compared to what is used today. EPIRBs and GPS also weren't available back then either, so going on a run like this had far greater chances of going south on you.
juhtuhb1 is correct. 75 degrees is impossible. Snow will not even stick to a pitch much above 60 degrees. Realistically, the angle is probably between 55 & 60 degrees....still amazing
"The angel is 75 degrees", sounds like some divine creature is hypothermic. If you mean 75 degrees incline, this is impossible. I've climbed and ice-climbed for 2 decades and you can't ski 75 degrees for long stretches. The camera is held askew, it looks like good old Sylvain Saudon has magical powers - old trick to steepen up less steep slopes/walls on camera. That doesn't mean that Sylvain is one of the most talented and fearless extreme skiers in history.
The most exciting Alaskan ski video ever made...

He was one of the first to try this.. but he was also limited by the quality of his equipement...
Today Kids can do much better! Let's say they do the same with a backflip!
