The best moments in ski movie history?

Help me out, please.
And as the title says, not best segment but best scene or MOMENT.

Shoot!

:: h ::

PS. I'll drop two for inspiration:
- Shane McConkey – going off the Eiger in ”Yearbook” – a double front flip after dropping his poles and then you basically think "what the fööck?!? before realizing it's a ski-base jump.
- Candide Thovex – d-spin 720 over Chad's Gap in "Further" – no explanation necessary if you can only find your way to there from the bottom of Alta.

Pep's 180 into pow in 1242, slow mo and the song hits a mellow section, and the bass kicks back in when he stomps it.

The ending credits of Pretty Good, with them yelling backflips!! as it played to I've got your number by passion pit.



Also the ending segment to come find us, where its the outro over beautiful Montana, part of me went to school where I do because of that movie, and when I walk to class I look up and see that big blue sky and those gorgeous mountains and it makes me happy inside. Hell that intro was amazing too which im going to post.

This so much.

So much goody ski porn in those slo-mo follow cam shots.
I believe it's Colby holding the 16 mm flying/skiing as TJs wingman.

Can a trailer count? The trailer for this was the single most hype-ing video for me. Nothing else made me want so ski as much as these 5 minutes

Candides Cork 7 on Chad's gap in 2000. He was 16 I believe at the time. I personally think it was the shot and trick that ignited boundless possibilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfU5Ne6jVKM 30 seconds in.

Well maybe if you actually read the forum you would realize that most of these posts have been about TGR movies anyway. If there was ever a best moment in ski movie history, Nobis would have to be considered.

Okay first off, it was a lincoln to backflip. Second, it wasn't in "Behind the Shot" it was in Mutiny. And third, of course it was huge, it was off of a fucking bridge.
