For some, gentle well-worn slopes and crowed lift lines are enough; but for those who wish to blow the boundaries of human ability, there's extreme skiing and snowboarding. The rocky, nearly vertical slopes of remote mountain areas-once thought too dangerous to attempt-are now training grounds for those with courage enough to tempt fate. Skiers and boarders gain props in the extreme sports not only for speed and finesse, but also for the difficulty of the terrain and airtime. The extreme lines these athletes choose to challenge are replete with chutes, bumps, bowls, steeps, gullies, and trees-making for thrilling, death-defying rides!
