Awesome video ... The Ordinary Skier

The Ordinary Skier Trailer 01 from OAKLEY on Vimeo.

This hour long video about Seth Morrison makes you lust after Chamonix. It is also a reminder that as Jon Krakauer said in his essay in the book EIGER DREAMS ... it is the death capital of the world for adventure sports.  I particularly liked the sections about skiing the North Face of Tour Ronde, which brought back fond memories of doing that climb with Jon Waterman, in full on, black ice conditions, during a February cold snap in the 1970s.

You can watch the video for free on Hulu, or if you are an AMAZON PRIME member. I highly recommend it.
