This is a camp I've wanted to do for a while, and finally had the time and fitness to give it a go. It is run by Dan Egan, a skiing icon and hero of numerous Warren Miller films. It is run through the Big Sky ski school. While Dan frequently points out that he is certified in "absolutely...

Most skiers think that they can slow down by edging more on the steeps, but the opposite is true. A high edge angle at the end of a turn will scoot the ski forward and often cause the skier to become out of balance. Combine this with some tension or stress and a tense downhill leg situation...
Forty inches of snow fell over the week in Big Sky Montana. Visibility is marginal and I’m looking into the abyss over Lone Peak’s Big Coulior. I’m with a group of skiers from Dan Egan’s Steep Camp, ready to test our skills on one of the gnarliest lift-serviced runs Big Sky has to offer...

The cinematographer/filmaker Guido Perrini has released his look back over the last ten years in a new film called Twenty.
Ten years ago on epic Tyrone Shoelaces posted a film. It was freely available on Vimeo, about 45 minutes long, called Ten. A collection of shots and interviews from...
What are your favourite / most effective drills and tips for steered short turns on black runs (single diamond, not ultra-steep)?
Hopefully something other than 200 spiess turns per day...
My understanding is that even on steeps, you can initiate a turn by simply tipping your skis.
However, in the steeps and especially in chopped up snow, I tend to push off a bit on my outside ski to initiate the turn. If I simply try to tip my skis like I would on less steep terrain, I find my...

So, I am thinking about a road-trip through Montana, Idaho, and Washington State.....but not necessarily limited to those states.
Looking for Cheap, Deep, and Steep, so I will probably avoid the bigger resorts.
Alpental, Baker, and Bridger look interesting. So does Apex in BC.
What else...

Hey everyone! I immigrated here from epic ski.
A little about me: I’m 29, from NYC, started skiing four years ago. The first three seasons started with a bang- I went from skiing East Coast greens my first day to West Coast steeps, moguls and glades my third year and managed to ski 20-30 days...
One thing I’ve not gotten comfortable with is steep skiing.
What is it that draws you to it? Most YouTube videos I find of people skiing steep double black runs, look like survival runs, just to say they’ve done it. I’ve not found very many videos of people skiing steeps in an adequate manner...

Here's an amazing video that starts out with a drone shot above the Aiguille du Midi. Then they ski the glacier in the Vallée Blanche. A solid intermediate with pow ability is what's needed. (There are more difficult sections one can ski.) Plus...willingness to walk that ridge. You're roped...

I love the technical skiing videos posted frequently here -- but they mostly consist of beautiful skiers on groomed terrain making perfect turns. Rarely am I on groomed terrain if other terrain is available: chutes, bowls, trees, etc.
So post up your favorite videos of technically rad skiers...
I'm trying to get my head in the right place and start visualization and other such things to prepare myself for a less fearful ski season. Last year was by FAR my worst year on skis in terms of panic attacks. Mostly on steeps. (Actually, only on steeps, no matter how deep and fluffy the snow...
