STEEP is a feature documentary about bold adventure, exquisite athleticism and
\nthe pursuit of a perfect moment on skis. It is the story of big mountain
\nskiing, a sport that barely existed 35 years ago. It started in the 1970s in
\nthe mountains above Chamonix, France, where skiers began to attempt ski
\ndescents so extreme that they appeared almost suicidal. Men like Anselme Baud
\nand Patrick Vallencant were inspired by the challenge of skiing where no one
\nthought to ski before. Now, two generations later, some of the world’s
\ngreatest skiers pursue a sport where the prize is not winning, but simply
\nexperiencing the exhilaration of skiing and exploring big, wild, remote
\nmountains.<\/p>\n
STEEP features many of the sport’s greatest athletes including Bill Briggs,
\nStefano De Benedetti, Eric Pehota, Glen Plake, Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison,
\nChris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom and Andrew McLean. The man who is often
\ndescribed as the greatest big mountain skier of all, the late Doug Coombs, is
\nthe character at the center of STEEP. He died in a skiing accident in La
\nGrave, France, in April, 2006, just days after being filmed for STEEP. His
\nrich life and tragic death reveal the essential question at the heart of big
\nmountain skiing: How does a skier weigh the risks versus the rewards of a
\nsport where the possibility of dying is ever present STEEP was shot on High
\nDefinition and on film in Alaska, Wyoming, Canada, France and Iceland.
