This is one that I liked.
From: Sean YoungDate: 2/06/2010 Subject: Had to reach out William A., I hope you get this message. I had to write you today. I just got done watching the Edge of Never for the third time in 24 hours. I have to tell you that this is one of the best films I’ve seen in some time (not just a ski film). You’ve created a beautiful representation of the spirit of the mountians. I grew up with guys like Schmidt, Plake, and yes Trevor Peterson as my skiing heros. You did everyone justice and told a profoundly uplifting and very spriritual story that reminded me of why I go into the mountians. I would like to wish you and yours the very best. Hope to see more from you in the future. A heartfelt thanks for doind what you do… Sean Young |
This is the official trailer for The Edge of Never Film.
A documentary feature film set in the world of big mountain skiing, The Edge of Never is a real-life coming of age saga about the tribe of skiers who challenge the biggest, most dangerous mountains in the world. In 1996 extreme-skiing legend Trevor Petersen was [...]
The Edge of Never travels to Minneapolis, Madison, and Milwaukee to bring the heart and soul of skiing to the Midwest.
Taking it to the people, The Edge of Never troupe rolls in the EdgeMobile, (a 1978 Airstream coach that pretty much runs on faith) to Washington State. Guest host Mike Hattrup and his Mom and Dad join the show in Seattle… Bellingham and Spokane share the love. Rolling to a theater near you…
See another side of the duo who directed and produced The Edge of Never film, two cowboys now unleashing their exciting mountain adventure story. Is it a tall tale? Nope, just a great ski movie.

This is a private query, not for posting. I wondered why — after the entire film built up to Kye’s descent on the glacier run — once he dropped the rope and started the run on his own there were only a couple of still shots and then it was over. I thought that was a real letdown. Surely you intended to cover more than that. What went wrong?
If you would care to reply to my email box I would like to hear the answer.

Hi William, my old man told me about this film so i read your book and then got hold of the film through your website. It took a couple of weeks to get here but was well worth the wait.
Im surprised it hasnt had more exposure in the UK especially since Chamonix figures so prominently. One thing that struck me from Anselme and Plake teaching Kye is the role this turn has played in shaping the industy technology, ski shape and technique. It strikes me that the extreme skiers didnt just discover the big mountain for themselves but contributed massively to the development of the industry, something oft overlooked. Modern ski techniques seem to be an extension of something Anselme discovered 20 years earlier and came naturally to plake. I also love the way Plake and Hattrup have evolved as mountain men and you really bring their characters alive in ways other films never try to. We have all lived with images of all the skiers in your movie, and the greatest thrill for me was being a fly of the wall for a few minutes of their extraordinary lives. Thanks for the great work, good luck in the future…Richard
PS Respect to DPS skis, they are out there doing it.
