"The images simply take your breath away."-Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun
Extreme Winter includes rare footage and personal interviews with a special group of athletes, including a number of past and current world champions, as they challenge the most intimidating forces of nature during her most volatile year, and share "how" and "why" they challenge the limits of convention.
Skiing -- Extreme Ski Champion Gordy Peifer, along with World Extreme Ski Champion Francine Moreillon ski a peak called The Temptress in the mountains surrounding Juneau, Alaska.This mountain, so steep that its face is convex, created a situation where the skiers had to ski blind, using technique based upon instinct rather than eyesight.
Snowboarding -- Four of the world's best snowboarders, including 4-time World Champion Craig Kelly, tackle narrow steep couloirs with jagged rock bands, faces so steep the snow barely settles, and terrain so steep that it is rarely considered accessible even by athletes of this caliber.
Ice Climbing -- The world renowned ice climbing duo of Barry Blanchard and Catherine Mulvihill fight adverse conditions with temperatures well below zero to climb on of the most spectacular ice-falls in the world, the Delphine Glacier outside Radium, British Columbia
