Ski Mountaineering

I am a huge fan of ski (and snowboard) mountaineering. My favorite movie is "Steep". It has a great section on Doug Coombs (Rest in Peace). You can watch it in sections on youtube. This part has a cool intro by Coombs:

Anyway, here is a sweet 25 minute video of Andreas Fransson skiing steeper stuff than you and I could ever dream of skiing. Most importantly (to me) is the first descent of the south face of Denali. That is 2700 meters  or 8858 feet. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: There is no splitboarding or freeheeling in this video.
