Fortunately for Ian McIntosh, Canada's health insurance system still insures for folks with pre-existing conditions, like having a few screws loose upstairs. You're not supposed to be able to ski La Grave?a place infamous for pants-shitting steeps and deadly exposure?at the speeds Mac and Johnny Collinson do in this episode of Sony Mind's Eye, so maybe socialized medicine is playing a part in the ability of guys like Ian to blaze new trails in the speed category (we're joking). Watch Ian and Johnny flash some steep couloirs, some in pow, others in brutally variable conditions, in France's most unencumbered mountains with guide Joe Vallone, and then run off with Mac as he takes a vacation from his butt-puckering ski routine to go BASE jumping in Italy. We don't know what the translation of ?terminal velocity? is in Italian, but we think it might sound something like ?Non provateci a casa!!? Sony's Mind's Eye is a 10-episode series of self-edits that give an insider's look at the team of TGR athletes as they documents their adventures with Sony's Action Cam.

An avalanche our group was involved in two days ago. I had eyes on Rex and Andrew, was taking photos, then the slide happened. I switched over to video and captured this.

For a few years, Marco Salgado has been preaching the gospel of Sella Nevea. When not logging footage for Teton Gravity Research in Jackson, Wyoming, he spends his time shredding in Italy. This winter, a crew from TGR joined him in Sella Nevea?and luckily, the legendary ski resort was enjoying the most snow it had seen in one hundred years. With Marco as their guide, Colter Hinchliffe, Dash Longe, and Dana Flahr dove in deep. After a storm dropped over six meters of snow, the crew hopped on the resort?s iconic tram. Their arrival at the summit set the tone for the day, as a shit ton of snow had poured into the tram dock. Energized?rather than undeterred?the crew promptly began terrorizing the chutes, steep lines, and pristine pow of Sella Nevea while filming for TGR?s latest film, Almost Ablaze. Check out this episode of Almost Live Presented by Gore-Tex Products to see what went down?and then start making plans to head to Sella Nevea. It?ll be worth your while.

After a hectic but successful season on the AFP and FIS circuit, Olympic slopestyle skier Oscar Wester finally joins up with his brother and the Unfiltered crew for a week in the sun and slush of Engelberg, Switzerland. In an era of new rules and regulations being introduced to the sport, this episode aims to showcase the "free" in freeskiing, and what happens when you put two brothers with fatskis on the giant playground that is Mt.Titlis in the end of march. Here is UFS01E04 - Brotherhood! Filming: Daniel Rönnbäck Editing: Jacob Wester Athletes: Jacob Wester Oscar Wester Thanks to: Engelberg Ski Lodge Freeride.se Monster Energy Oakley Armada Skis
