Extreme skiing is skiing performed on long, steep (typically from 45 to 60+ degrees, or grades of 100 to 170 percent) slopes in dangerous terrain. The sport is performed off-piste.

The French coined the term 'Le Ski Extreme' in the 1970s. The first practitioners include Bill Briggs, who descended Grand Teton on June 16, 1971, and Swiss skier Sylvain Saudan, who invented the "windshield wiper" turn in the mid-1960s and at some point later made the first filmed descents of slopes were previously considered impossible.
