Extreme Skiing with Jérémie Heitz

PEDAL 2 POW

Jérémie Heitz is known for going down the steepest faces at a speed like no one else can. However, less attention is paid to how he accesses those dreamy locations or sketchy couloirs he skis. In the past few years, Jérémie has been using his bike regularly to go skiing, mostly departing from his home place in Les Marécottes.

In this occasion, Jérémie tackles the north face of the Luisin mountain in Valais (CH) in search of good conditions in the middle of a challenging Winter season. As usual, another day out there for Jérémie can strike most people as an extreme and risky adventure. Episode 2 not only includes cycling and skiing, but also rappelling down and flying around in a paraglide... pure Jérémie style.

The Athlete

Jérémie Heitz

"Since a few years now I’m using the bike often to go skiing. It’s so much easier for accesses, and also in terms of parking when I go directly to the resort. I find it really easy and useful, it’s the tool that I use every day. And it's pretty fun to ride too!"
