DVD Reviews of Steep
DVD Review: Amazing Photography and Story
Summary: 5 Stars
The photography all over the world is very beautiful, especially in the full HD quality. All the skiers' different stories are amazing and sometimes quite personal. I couldn't believe some of the stuff these guys have done. The combination of awe inspiring footage and the back stories of the skiers make this a great documentary about the nature and experience of extreme back country skiing.DVD Review: Great Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I really do think this is one of the best documentaries ever made. It has so many beautiful panorama's and insane stunts that even a non-skier would love this movie!DVD Review: great doc for skiers that know
Summary: 5 Stars
Blu-ray is great, but the informative story on comb's life, on it's own, made it worth it to me.DVD Review: must see...
Summary: 5 Stars
This one of those movies that is a must if you love big mountain steep skiing. It covers the subject from the early days through the present. There is no time wasted in the terrain park, it's all in the really big mountains of the world. Watch it, then watch it again to see all that you missed the first time.DVD Review: steep
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is amazing!From a non skier to a powder hound like me, this movie won't fail to inspire!
Steep tells the story of extreme skiing from the fifties through to the current day. It follows the lives of some of the skiing worlds most groundbreaking figures, and in some cases, tells the story of their deaths.
Jaw dropping cinematography. Awe inspiring scenery. Fluid and captivating storytelling.
Need I saw more? This movie belongs on every skiers shelf, or should I say in every skiers DVD player. I've watched it at least a half a dozen times in the two weeks I've owned it.
You should too.
Description of Steep
Warning: You're about to experience the most breath taking exhilarating and inspirational ride of your life. The world's best skiers go beyond their dreams to conquer the steepest runs ever faced. From the sheer cliffs of Grand Teton to the treachery of Chamonix France to the untouched Alaskan peaks of Valdez these extremers sacrifice their lives for a thrill but what a thrill it is. Fantastically beautiful images of the most magnificent peaks on the globe along with devastating avalanches and fatal spills only serve to push them harder. But you're about to discover -- not everyone who goes up the mountain -- returns.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/BIOGRAPHY Rating:?PG UPC:?043396238787 Manufacturer No:?23878Thrilling and spectacular, Steep is a mesmerizing documentary in the Warren Miller mold about extreme skiing, but with more emphasis on the drive and psychology of the adrenaline-hooked athletes involved. A number of skiers are captured in archival and original footage braving the odds against surviving runs down astonishingly steep, dangerous slopes. Among the subjects is Bill Briggs, who climbed in 1971 to the top of Grand Teton in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and skied down, an unprecedented effort echoed by Europeans who later did the same thing down the French Alps in Chamonix. Doug Coombs, who twice won the World Extreme Skiing Championship, is also profiled and speaks honestly about the possibility of dying for the sake of living life to the fullest as a thrillseeker. Written and directed by Mark Obenhaus, a producer for several of the late Peter Jennings' television news specials, Steep is visually gorgeous, and literally breathtaking whenever a skier is seen barely outracing an avalanche nipping at his heels. Steep attempts, somewhat, to get inside the heads of the pros who do this sort of thing, but it is hard for many of the subjects to articulate what they feel. It's best just to be knocked out by their deeds and let the fantastic visuals in Steep speak for themselves. --Tom Keogh
