Read Director's Statement
"This is a film about the experience of being a certain kind of athelete: skier involved in high-risk sports activity. It's about what goes on in the minds of these athletes, what draws them to it and how they balance the risks and rewards of their sport."

STEEP in Theaters
Sony Pictures Classics calls STEEP "visually stunning" and "a spectacular documentary." See release schedule.

The Denver Post
"The early buzz - humming quietly in remote corners of skiing's online communities - is the feature film has upped the ante of ski filmmaking with unique camera angles and historical perspectives on the nascent sport."

Powder.com
"The old-school footage from Chamonix in the early 80s is alone worth the price of admission."





STEEP is a feature documentary about bold adventure, exquisite athleticism and the pursuit of a perfect moment on skis. It is the story of big mountain skiing, a sport that barely existed 35 years ago.

It started in the 1970s in the mountains above Chamonix, France, where skiers began to attempt ski descents so extreme that they appeared almost suicidal. Men like Anselme Baud and Patrick Vallencant were inspired by the challenge of skiing where no one thought to ski before. Now, two generations later, some of the world’s greatest skiers pursue a sport where the prize is not winning, but simply experiencing the exhilaration of skiing and exploring big, wild, remote mountains.

STEEP features many of the sport’s greatest athletes including Bill Briggs, Stefano De Benedetti, Eric Pehota, Glen Plake, Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison, Chris Davenport, Ingrid Backstrom and Andrew McLean.

The man who is often described as the greatest big mountain skier of all, the late Doug Coombs, is the character at the center of the film. He died in a skiing accident in La Grave, France, in April, 2006.

STEEP was shot on High Definition and on film in Alaska, Wyoming, Canada, France and Iceland.

STEEP from The Documentary Group.

"Few documentaries are able to isolate their purpose from an audience's craving for human interest stories. There always seems to be a character who leaves the lasting impression, rather than the film's subject matter. "Steep" is one of those rare endeavors able to touch on the human condition without neglecting the film's true star: big-mountain skiing."
