Guide Review - Steep
Legendary pioneers like Anselme Baud, Bill Briggs, and Stefano De Benedetti are shown on amazing first descents. They discuss the origins of big mountain skiing with a wistfulness from which you know they would give an awful lot for one more big mountain.
Then Glen Plake and the boys of THE BLIZZARD OF AAHHH'S begin to wake up America to the other side of the ropes. What else follows but the younger turks come out, Doug Coombs, Chris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom, Shane McConkey, Andrew McLean, and Seth Morrison.
If you didn't have that fire in your belly about skiing that makes you just want to be there - anywhere in mountains and snow - you'd call them crazy. If you feel, what I feel, that if I can't do it but someone else can I feel darn lucky to be able to watch it - then you have got to watch it on this DVD.
I have a large screen HDTV but I still have to see STEEP on the big screen. There are very few of us who are going to ever see or do anything like this, live on the snow, but it's ok to live vicariously for 90 minutes. You can buy STEEP now, in either DVD or Blu-ray Disc.
