    This movie is astounding not only for the shear beauty of the mountains but for the incredible nerve of the skiers. Incredible moments in the world of skiing whether you are a ski buff or not. This is extreme skiing like I have never seen before. Definitely worth an hour and a half of your time.

    This is more of an infomercial for a sport rather than a documentary. They make extreme skiing a major world event, rather than what it is, a bunch of misguided kids doing a stupid and dangerous sport. I am supposed to be impressed. I'm not. To compare the release of "The Blizzard of AAHHH's", an early ski documentary to the assassination of John F. Kennedy importance is as ludicrous as the film itself.… Expand

    Like its sister films in the surfing-movie genre, the extreme-skiing movie Steep is less a documentary than a sales pitch -- not for a product or a place, but for a sport, one its practitioners feel requires pugnacious self-promotion.

    Blandly beautiful, inarticulate extreme-skiing documentary.

    Enthusiasts and neophytes alike should be able to join together in gasping at the sight of people plunging down vertical walls of ice, taking their lives into their own hands for a brief, lion-lifed adrenaline charge.
