While on a backcountry trip through Telluride, CO, Sweden's Jacob Wester gives us a first-hand look at a 100-foot backflip off a mining trestle that was built in the 1920s.
The result of a couple weeks in Switzerland and Austria, february 2013. Linked up with four10skiing's filmer Fabian Gattlen, built some jumps, skied some lines. Enjoy!

For the 3rd episode, we wanted to do something different. In certain environments, experience and local knowledge is what separates you from potential disaster. In "The Backyard", Jacob and Daniel head to the extreme sports capital of the world, Chamonix, to try out some of the "classique" descents, as well as sampling some of the finer powder we have seen so far this season. Guided by born-and-raised chamoniard Tof Henry, we tell the story of Chamonix through his eyes. This is his backyard.
