The five best skiing videos are a mix production of excitement, adventure and even learning. Skiing videos are a great venue to learn new moves, tricks and secrets of the sport. These five best skiing videos will open the door to some of this and more. From backcountry to thin air skiing and then to some of the wildest skiing you will ever see, these five videos will take you there. Skiing is a wildly popular sport that has attracted people from all lifestyles. Making videos of skiing has blossomed as a means to display some of the best talent, daredevils and teachers of the sport. These videos are excellent, but search the vast library on your own and create your personal five best skiing videos.

The five best skiing videos are:

  1. "High Life" – TGR Studios: This is perhaps the best video of the 2009/2010 season. This culture style film examines the life and trials of some of the globe's elite skiers. It documents the desires, dedication and sacrifices the best make to bring you thrills, chills and some nasty spills. Beautifully shot and detailed, this is sure to be a favorite in any enthusiast's library.
  2. "Storm" – Warren Miller: An exciting twist on the skiing videos, "Storm" follows exciting ski venues under stormy skies. This makes for a unique backdrop for some exciting skiing. Take the best skiers and add some exciting twists, tricks and spills that happen beneath the ugly Alaskan skies. The soundtrack rocks as well. This is not your traditional skiing video, but offers all the excitement with a twist. This comes highly recommended.
  3. "The Real" – Area 51 Uprising: If you like vertical, then you are going to love this film. With over one hundred thousand feet of vertical drops and daring dives from cliffs and Heliskiing, this is a mad film filled with heart pounding excitement. Shot in over thirty countries, this film will give you a full picture of the global phenomenon of skiing. Check all types of skiing adventure and daring in places you probably didn’t even know it snowed.
  4. "Breakthrough on Skis" – Lito Tejada: This is the ultimate in training videos. Lito is a world-renowned skiing instructor with a resume that can rival any instructor at any level. This is for those looking to take their skiing to the next level, the expert level. Learn the tricks and moves that will take you from the intermediate level to the expert level opening up new opportunities in the backcountry and on the slopes.
  5. "Whiteout" – Warren Miller: This is an extreme, “do not try this at home” look at avalanche jumping. It features the extreme sport of racing avalanches down to the base of the mountain, running over and around whatever is in the way. The spectacle is beautiful; the rumbling of the snow is intimidating and the overall experience is mind blowing. How people have the nerve and the skill to pull this off is inspiring.
