La Liste shows steep skiing in a way that has never been seen before and promises to be a true visual feast. The 26 year old Mammut Pro Team athlete Jérémie Heitz challenges himself to ski the most spectacular 4000m peaks of the Alps in order to tell the story of each of these mountains in a way that it has never been done before. Based on his personal tick list, ‘La liste’, Jérémie wants to show the evolution of big mountain skiing. The extreme peaks from back in the days are now freeriding faces accomplished by only a few skiers. In the fall of 2016 the film “La Liste” will bring a new vision and show a new kind of freeskiing. An incredible documentary which will comprise several decades of skiing. “I want to push my skiing in a discipline that requires experience and a lot of knowledge by bringing an aggressive and fluid approach to these steep faces which has never been seen before”, says Jérémie.

A film which mixes hair-raising action footage of leading freeriders with a story of adventure and discovery. World-renowned freeriders Xavier De Le Rue, Samuel Anthamatten and Ralph Backstrom progress the sport of freeriding through the use new technology to scope remote areas in order to show ski and snowboard action in a way never seen before.

Xavier de Le Rue and Sam Anthamatten are known for bringing speed and fluidity into the big mountain environment. Following Mission Antarctic, Mission Steeps is the second chapter of the Mission Series. Follow some of the most progressive riders on their way to re define steeps riding on breathtaking terrain and challenging conditions. Mission Steeps is not only a quest to the most radical terrain but also a journey and documentary on how they get there and their singular approach to the mountain.

One year in the making, Mission Antarctic is a journey of snowboard exploration. Team snowboarders Xavier de le Rue and Lucas DeBari will set sail from the Falklands, through the Drake Passage and around the Fjords of the Antarctic peninsula in search of the best lines to ride on the continent.

Xavier de Le Rue, considered by his peers as the best big mountain rider, reveals himself intimately and exposes his feeling about his life, reasons he keeps on getting the motivation to push his own limits and why snowboarding represent his reason to be.

Ice or snow, Xavier de le Rue best sessions.
“At this time of the year last season, with my friends Guido, Tero and Matthieu we’ve decided to create our own movie production company called TimeLine Film.

With the support of my partners we have released a web series during the season. We’ve tried to document more than just the action and show people what it takes as effort, luck and commitment to get the best possible big mountain video part in TB20 from Standard Films. Although the snow conditions were terrible in Europe last winter we hoped all season long we could have enough unseen action and interesting backstage material to come up with a movie and have a chance to share our experience. Here it is, THIS IS MY WINTER!” Xv de le Rue
