This trailer of Salomon Freeski TV and Switchback Entertainment’s Tempting Fear goes inside the mind of extreme skier Andreas Fransson. Fransson is a bad ass. The Swede completed a first descent of the south face of Denali in 2011 and has been making a huge splash in the ski mountaineering world since moving to Chamonix in 2006.
From Salomon Freeski TV:
“Andreas Fransson has been called the boldest extreme skier in a generation. Over the past 3 years he’s logged first descents in a half-dozen countries, battled back to life from an accident that nearly killed him, and become the most talked about skier in the epicenter of all things extreme — Chamonix, France.
What makes Andreas most intriguing, however, are his thoughtful musings on meaning from a life on the edge – a willingness to enter mental spaces that few have ever experienced.
In Tempting Fear, Sweden’s soft-spoken Adventurer of the Year explores a place in which fear overwhelms all emotions, playing both friend and enemy in a pas de deux where death lies just one misstep away.
Music: ‘Rallying the Defense’ by Machinima Sound”
