Steep, the 2007 film by Mark Obenhaus is a magnificent documentary about the development of modern day big mountain skiing.  Containing interviews with notorious athletes like Doug Coombs, Glenn Plake, Shane McConkey, Ingrid Backstrom, Seth Morrison, Chris Davenport, Ian McClean, and Bill Briggs the film does a wonderful job of portraying the lives of people living on the edge.  Their first hand accounts of some of the most daring adventures experienced on the some of the steepest mountainsides is breathtaking to say the least.  Much of the footage from the film is the kind of stuff that'll give you goose bumps and make your palms sweat.  With an underlying message promoting the pursuit of adventure the film is a must see for anyone passionate about big mountain skiing.  Along with the beauty and grandeur that's a part of the visual experience, Steep will leave you thinking about the uncountable adventures possible in mountains.


Also available at Netflix
