Mount St. Elias

The longest ski descent ever. In 2007 three ski mountaineers dare to attempt the ascent and ski descent of the world's longest snow covered vertical line on Mount St. Elias in Alaska. During the expedition they not only get to realize that the struggle against nature is more a struggle against oneself, but also that they have to lose it first before they can reach the summit. Mount St. Elias is a thrilling and dramatic extreme-mountaineering documentary by Gerald Salmina. (Abbey Home Media)
