Thrilling and spectacular; Steep is a mesmerizing documentary in the Warren Miller mold about extreme skiing; but with more emphasis on the drive and psychology of the adrenaline-hooked athletes involved. A number of skiers are captured in archival and original footage braving the odds against surviving runs down astonishingly steep; dangerous slopes. Among the subjects is Bill Briggs; who climbed in 1971 to the top of Grand Teton in Jackson Hole; Wyoming; and skied down; an unprecedented effort echoed by Europeans who later did the same thing down the French Alps in Chamonix. Doug Coombs; who twice won the World Extreme Skiing Championship; is also profiled and speaks honestly about the possibility of dying for the sake of living life to the fullest as a thrillseeker. Written and directed by Mark Obenhaus; a producer for several of the late Peter Jennings
