Steep: Without Risk, There Is No Adventure

Have you heard about Steep, the new skiing film from Sony Pictures Classics?

From LandmarkTheatres.com:

A breathtaking look inside the world of big-mountain skiing, from its beginnings in the 1970s in the mountains above Chamonix, France, to its future in remote Alaskan and Icelandic peaks. Highlighting the best of the best of this rare breed of men and women who attempt ski descents where the slightest mistake can mean death, director Mark Obenhaus tells a tale of bold adventure, exquisite athleticism and the pursuit of a perfect moment on skis.

In addition to many of the sport's greatest athletes—Stefano De Benedetti, Eric Pehota, Glen Plake, Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison, Chris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom and Andrew McLean—we meet the man who is often described as the greatest big mountain skier in the world: Doug Coombs, who twice skied to top honors in the World Extreme Skiing Championships, opened up Alaska's Chugach Range to high-adrenaline heli-skiing, and founded his own steep-skiing school.

The movie comes out in NYC, LA, and select cities this Friday. Take a look at the release schedule to see when Steep is playing in a town near you!
