After watching the video of Jeremy Jones' nuts himalayan decent it got me thinking. What do you think is the sickest/biggest/craziest or even best skied big mountain line captured on film?

It could be a line that we haven't seen on film yet or something that was never filmed. The shit they are doing like ski mountaineering in Chamonix is super intense. But then you have Tanner hall and his crazy pillow lines. And then you got people like Candid and Sage cattabriga alosa shredding steep and deep lines fast as fuvk

Hey man. Have you ever thought of going into politics?

Anyway, Billy Poole was 28 when he died in 2008 filming with Warren Miller. Don't know much about him, but I heard he was supersick. JakeSmith, did you ever get a chance to ski with him?

Agree. One of Callum's, he hooks a little check-turn halfway through a double stager. I can't imagine how he thought he could do that

Seth Morrison, Dean Cummings and of course Shane McConkey had some banger lines and segments back in the ski movie/ski movie 2 days. They were different types of lines though, Seth's were fast and expansive, Shane was like a billy goat getting down something really tricky and technical

This. Most stuff doesn't get filmed. Montaz and Bruchez probably probably film the most full-on lines, and actually have fun doing it instead of talking about how gnarly it is.

I completely agree, I would rather watch someone ski something full-on and be pumped about it rather than claiming about it. Whats skiers get pumped about massive lines just makes you want to get out there and push yourself as well
