Plot Summary
A dramatic and awe-inspiring feature documentary following three of the world’s greatest ski mountaineers to the Mount St. Elias in their attempt to realize the longest ski descent of the world. Set against the backdrop of Alaska’s dangerous beauty, Mount St. Elias is about a visionary borderline experience where unparalleled physical and mental pressure pushes them to the absolute limit. They find themselves in puristic situations, in which heroism cannot easily be distinguished from folly. Situations which can only be mastered if reason is supposedly abandoned and in which courage as well as trust in their own abilities and last but not least luck are used as guidelines. A movie about men who accept mountains as a challenge. A process whose vision becomes a real adventure. Men who, formed by their origins, want to experience their passion as intensively as possible and above all want to survive.

WOW
I'm a snowboarder and I still loved it! Very intense movie! Highly recommended! 😊😊👍
So good. So inspirational...& frightening
I really enjoyed THE ART OF FLIGHT so I decided to give this one a whirl. In my opinion, these guys are much crazier. Balls of steel. Very visual. Very riveting. Well worth watching.
