“Steep”: New Big Mountain Ski Film Trailer

What is it that drives elite skiers like Seth Morrison, Chris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom, Shane McConkey, Glen Plake, Bill Briggs, and Eric Pehota to risk their lives for adventure?

Filmed in the high peaks of Canada, France, Wyoming, Alaska, and Iceland, “Steep” is a new ski film that explores this question and highlights the thrills (and risks) associated with big mountain skiing. The film is centered around the tragic death of Doug Coombs, who, shortly after being filmed, died in a ski accident in France.

According to the Denver Post, “The early buzz - humming quietly in remote corners of skiing’s online communities - is the multimillion-dollar feature film has upped the ante of ski filmmaking with unique camera angles and historical perspectives on the nascent sport.”
