Jeremie Heitz - La Liste
My apologies if this is old news. It's hot summer in NZ, and I've been stuck in surf mode.
If you haven't seen this, however, do it now. Big, steep, super aesthetic lines skied at unfathomable speed. I can't wait to see the whole film.

Heitz is awesome. Was painful to see him edged off a FWT win yet again. Also cool to see Anthamatten in that trailer, love watching him rip the steeps.

They were talking about this during his run at the FWT... I have been meaning to queue it up.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Heitz & Anthamatten are not from Tellus.
Insanity.
The floggings will continue until morale improves.

^^Thanks for the bump. Been looking forward to this.

film is definitely worth watching and quite well made imo, but I'm a bit conflicted about the whole thing. He is pushing very, very hard, both the general limits and his luck. They show one near miss where he skis onto a patch of ice, loses a ski and manages to self arrest. Antermatten bails on Obergabelhorn because of the conditions (which seems pretty telling, considering his track record) while Heitz continues and skis it. Everything kind of looks like pow from a distance because he's going so fast and scrapes off some snow, but mostly it's pretty damn firm. The POV shots look real sketchy a few times. It's a huge achievement for sure, but I kinda hope he stops going down this particular path now that he's done the film and made a bit of skiing history. This doesn't seem like the kind of skiing that is survivable in the long run, no matter how good you are.Ich bitte dich nur, weck mich nicht.

Only managed to watch 15 minutes (at work), but was almost in tears; so beautiful and so scary. A pleasure to watch something so extreme (hate that word, but this is), yet there's no chest beating or dick waving.
It'll be hard to beat, and I sincerely hope nobody dies trying. Please dial it back a bit, Jeremie and Sam.

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
But if you're doing stuff like this, it's a very short time line. No matter how much skill you have, you're always rolling the dice. There could be a lurking patch of ice anywhere.

It is great to watch Europeans moving and skiing in big mountains. At a fraction of the risk it would still be some of the most impressive skiing (and mountain environment) footage in the world today. This kind of production really makes you feel involved. It isn't American porn.
But some of this stuff borders on recreational suicide. He seems happy enough, and it is his life. There is no such thing as luck in games of probability.
Grey hair caution v.s kid's desires at 4:45 was one of the better moments.

Amazing to watch someone ski at that ability. He skis in a way that I can't even begin to fathom, and never will. High risk for sure but I enjoyed every second of it.

Good to hear about Xavier. He should be part of The Living History.
The Timeline series was a predecessor to that. Glad it continues. I wonder how mountain-human-engaging backcountry films can exist without the, quite literally, death defying skiing? No one would find it entertaining, at least not enough to justify the budget. It is a shame, as there is a whole genre mostly unexplored by those outfits with big budgets and high-end production values. Powder Whores were one of the few who have come close, at least at the the homebrew level, and even they had a GBOGH bias.Life is not lift served.

Mind boggling skiing skills, but watching the movie almost made me feel guilty. I cannot imagine skiing with so few turns on such steep faces.

Amazing skiing and mountains. I don't think I've said " wholly fuck" so much in one film. The speed at which he skis such big lines is truly amazing.
