Downhill Through the Woods



There's a reason they say to stay on the trail when skiing downhill. French pro skier Candide Thovex and Aziz Benkrich bring us GoPro footage as they shuss through the woods and miss the trees. Mostly. Remember, these are professionals -do not try this at home. Watching this video may cause disorientation and vertigo. (via Daily Picks and Flicks)

  2. Tree skiing like this is routine at most western ski resorts.

  3. Love skiing in the trees. I spend more time there than the runs. One of the secrets is to not look at the trees. Similar to when you were learning to drive. Takes a while to look past the hood and just look to where you want to go.
