Whistler Downhill Ski Course https://www.topendsports.com/videos/sports/winter/skiing-alpine/whistler-downhill-ski-course/ https://www.topendsports.com/videos/sports/winter/skiing-alpine/whistler-downhill-ski-course/#respond Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:43:45 +0000 http://www.topendsports.com/videos/?p=773 When I first posted this video in 2010, I was in awe of the footage of a world-class downhill skiing course from the view of the skiier. Nowadays with GoPro cameras, it is very common to get the athlete’s view of them performing their sport.

Here is the 1995 Men’s Downhill course on Whistler Mountain.

It is the last rock on the 10th end, and she needed this very difficult shot to come off to win. You don’t have to know the rules, just their response is enough to tell you that they pulled off something special.

This trailer of the movie is much more entertaining anyway. In the movie they show the original footage of when they crashed, but many other parts of the true story have been changed or embellished for the movie.
