I am heading over to the office, and I just did 45 minutes on the rowing machine watching the end of the video “Steep.” I highly recommend it! If you have access to netflix order it now, if you are on campus and want to watch it before I send it back let me know. This subjective history of extreme ski mountaineering moves from Bill Briggs skiing the Grand, to Baud-Boivin-Vallencant in Chamonix, to big lines in the Chugach, to the more recent ski movie stars (Coombs, Plake, Stump, McConkey, Backstrom), and it comes full circle with traditionalist, Andrew McLean skinning up remote big mountains to ski down 50+ degree couloirs ... one seamless blend of alpine and ski mountaineering.
