On the heels of its 2010 award winning (won twelve film festivals)

documentary “he Story” starring Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn, he Ski

Channel has made another film that goes where the rest of us simply don’t,

won’t or can’t. “Winter” starring a who’s who of action and mountain sport

athletes takes viewers wing suit flying canyons at 150 mph in fingernail

scraping distance of sheer granite walls. Ever wonder what it might be like

to ride unicycle on a 2500 ft cliff with your tire hanging over the edge?

ow about ski jumping a 210 ft cliff with a swan dive or doing 4 back flips

off of a 100 ft rope swing into Lake ahoe? Ever climbed Mt. Everest...how

about with a b roken foot? Want to clip a gate at 90 m ph?

“Winter” does all this and more, while taking viewers to the most

amazing and interes=ng places in the world showcasing people who do

extraordinary things in the face of the most absolute of consequence.

Along the way we learn that although the things they do might seem

irra=onal, these are people so focused on ge^ng the most out of life...they

push the limits to the edge in an extremely calculated way. o them, living

is squeezing out every drop, and that requires calculated risk.
