Jérémie Heitz has rewritten the history of steep skiing with “La Liste”
A few years ago, the Swiss freeskier and Mammut Pro Team athlete Jérémie Heitz set himself a challenge: to ski down the slopes, some with gradients of up to 55 degrees, of the most breathtaking 4,000-meter peaks in the Alps – at speeds reaching 120 kilometers per hour.
For “La Liste”, Jérémie put together a list of fifteen 4,000-meter Alpine peaks, inspired by the idea of telling the story of each of these mountains and demonstrating the evolution of freeriding. The extreme peaks of days gone by are now freeride faces for a small band of skiers. Too steep, too extreme? Not for Jérémie. The steep skier races down 55-degree slopes, making sweeping turns at speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. From a bird's eye view he looks very relaxed. His fuel, however, is adrenalin.
