Back in the 90s I worked as a ski photographer and we had all of Greg Stumps videos.. The editing was and still is classic beauty and captured the music and feel of that era perfectly. The merging of snow sports and party culture and a sense of freedom to live a life based on an outdoors lifestyle in nature was such good times. We watched those Greg Stump videos till the tapes wore out.. Excited for the next powder day.. Huddled up in our crappy cold cheap flat. But we were free from the rat race and happy.
I am a huge Mike and Glenn fan...but...This is likely one of the best Ski Videos of all time in my opinion, Why you ask? Because it is mainly just about riding natural terrain.. Just riding it epically. Today it seems that the ski movies are just about how many flips and grabs and spins you can do.. and not about really riding the mountain in a fluid natural way. I think this video shows Scot Schmidt at his finest.
It documents what all the "flair" is built upon, it shows us the foundations, which is why I think it's so important. There is no showmanship without the basics covered, which is what this movie is about.
I belive it is also true that many who can do tricks on prepared snow would last maybe three turns in breakable crust. Tricks and skiing/riding a mountain are not synonymous.
Watching this from Servoz in the Chamonix valley I moved here after watching too many Greg Stump movies. For real. I live next door to Remy Lacluse’s house RIP ❤❤
When I'm bored on the computer, I put this on and smile. I've watched it 99999 times. As a Skiier and Snowboarder, this is the besst thing I've seen probably ever.
Let’s get pumped watching this movie, then hit the mountain when its fresh powder. I can remember how Scot changed the way I ski after watching him ski. The guy was my hero and still is. Inspired a whole bunch of people that’s for sure
Back in the 80's and early 90's I worked on the Ski Patrol at Park City. I bartended at one of the local hotels. On some nights it would be really dead so I would watch Greg Stump videos over and over. I used to study the way he turned and I learned to incorporate it into my own skiing..especially on steeps. It was so efficient , smooth and mainly just fun! That guy was and still is my hero.
Yes. , In the seventies as a adult teenagers all the limits were beginning to be be pushed. Hang gliding with skis , speed skiing at local hills , big air gelande , running downhills, Standard 210 for men length skis and poaching lines because nobody skied them thus closed or OB . Thank you Greg Stump/ his film legacy for documented the beginning of extreme and helping form the following culture in all sports. 5 avalanches 50 years later with 500 million of verticle still hiiting the steps , Always easier to turn with Pow or Air under the boards.
In the early 90's my friend and I watched this hundreds of times before we we would ski when we lived in Breckenridge. Love Scott Schmitd's style.. I actually contacted Greg Stump a while back and bought the DVD. Brings back great memories.
+Greg Donohoe Hi Greg I've been trying to get the DVD of this film for years without luck. I had the original VHS and watched it till it wore out :-) Do you have Greg Stumps contact details as I would love to buy a DVD of this classic film from him.
I looked but couldn't find his email so I must have erased it by accident. I just went on his site and ordered it. We emailed each other back and forth and I must say that Mr. Stump is a bit forgetful so it took me a while to get the right DVD (and it was a bit expensive). In the end he sent me his latest movie for free, which I thought was very nice.
Inspiration meets desire. That's what Groove did for me. The opening scene with Dan Donnely and of course the star Scott Schmidt is epic and totally appropriate to begin the film...Even Chet, the Heli-driver is perfect. I compliment Scott who's still an epic skier and MR Stump. LOL (sounding slightly maniacal )
I was there. I won the pair of skis in the raffle. They gave me the K2 rep’s info and they wanted to give me some intermediate skis. As if. I talked him into the TNT’s. We just saw Seal in Seattle 2 days ago, and I can’t believe he doesn’t show some of these clips during the show. I can’t hear this and not see this in my mind.
Thanks for grabbing this one Richard, the guy(Scot Schmidt)...one of those rare mountain guys, can't tell you how many times I played the VHS cassette....
My first contact to freeskiing was in Finnish skimagazine Skimbaaja K2 extreme ski advertisement where Scott Schimdt dropped in. The pic was from this segment. I still have that number. After that I be came a skier. And I have enjoyed so many great moments in skiing..
My first and only ski video. I lost the cassette many years ago and would love to see it in its entirety again. A killer soundtrack by Seal, Hoodlum Priest, etc.
I became what I am because of your quiver of skiers and your ability to narrate and add the right music at the right time. I bow to all involved, especially the skiers. NOT ! There is a reason behind that, email me to find out why. I still think that they are my mentors...
+pismo10 last time I was up in AK Chet had a little wreck and I think he lost his foot. Now a days I highly doubt you could get away with flying around with Trevor and Eric straddling the pontoons like they did in RAP films. Boy was that fun, flying around and shootin' guns.
Amazing movie. But this link is trash. NOT FULL MOVIE. not even close. I lived this for a while. Up is whistler, rode with some of the Flamingo crew. Hung with Stumpy, boarded with SEAL. hahaha the good ol’ days.
@@Aussieskier right in a playlist that says ENTIRE MOVIE. Alaska segment would make sense as it it part of the entire movie, which is not posted. So dig a little deeper before you make a stupid reply.

These were unridden lines in many cases. This era absolutely is the extreme skiing - new school - freeriding .
I belive it is also true that many who can do tricks on prepared snow would last maybe three turns in breakable crust. Tricks and skiing/riding a mountain are not synonymous.
FINALLY!!! YES! YES! YES! You nailed it with your comment.
Arguably the greatest segment of any ski video ever.
this movie literally changed my life
Me too. And then those other dudes at SLU made Teton.
The King of all Koreans saw this and became a ski bum and worked wall st. I skied with Hattrup at Alta
Same! So many scenes in this film blew my mind, along with the soudtrack.
Watching this from Servoz in the Chamonix valley
I moved here after watching too many Greg Stump movies. For real.
I live next door to Remy Lacluse’s house RIP

Totally angular
No Shit!
@@bigsamdog1 yeah no shit. I'm gonna serve you a greasy ham sandwich in an ashtray.
Best combination of skiing and music ever put together.

Best segment ever. STILL watching in 2024. Wore out the VHS when it first came out.

Sux you were in park city. Alta and snowbird best pow pow in the world. Snorkeling
@@robertmetz9074 hopefully you realized. Fuck I should be at Atla or Snowbird. Wahhh wahhh
LIcensed to Thrill and Grove are the two greatest ski movies post Warren Miller. How I learned to ski like Scot Schmidt. So much Style
This takes me back to a wonderful time. Love watching Schmidty ski.
Best Extreme Skiing video ever! Sir Scot Schmidt!!

Hi Greg I have actually found the site and ordered the film. Thanks for your help.
When were you in Breck? I lived there '91-'96. Lived at Ski and Raquet Club and worked on the hill.
+Charles Murrieta
I was there in 92 through 94.. The guy I moved out there with stayed and apparently he is now the principle of Summit high..
God this makes me smile so much I can’t wait to go skiing.
I was at the world premier of this film in Portland, Maine. All the skiers in the movie were there. Greg and Ace were there too. Best memory ever.

Legendary film - still have the VHS cassette... but no player! Thanks for uploading.
I met Scot in Bozeman in 1995, class act. Still one of my ski heros.
Reminds me of the ski scene in View to a Kill. 007 is skiing on one snowmobile ski with California Girls song playing.
Still my favorite ski movie!
One of the best ski movies ever made! Thank you Mr. Greg stump!
This is so nostalgic for me! Takes me back to Greg’s premiere: in Portland, Maine, with Ace! Thanks so much for posting this!

Those Oakley goggles still look awesome
Thanks for grabbing this one Richard, the guy(Scot Schmidt)...one of those rare mountain guys, can't tell you how many times I played the VHS cassette....
1:29 the BEST shot ever in a ski movie. Whoever filmed this particular shot is a genius.
Benjamin Gadberry Its the finest ski segment of all time. period. every shot is magic.
@@jameslougheed6605 he descends like the batman. Or some kind of bird of prey
🎊 Ski Master first mine Scott Schmitt d solo musing 💭my missing skiing bunny 🐰 wife 😊
absolutely sublime.... beyond words.
Think this was my favourite ski film ever. Got the VHS here... but nothing to play it on!
My first contact to freeskiing was in Finnish skimagazine Skimbaaja K2 extreme ski advertisement where Scott Schimdt dropped in. The pic was from this segment. I still have that number. After that I be came a skier. And I have enjoyed so many great moments in skiing..
I had those skis, the sidewalls were poorly constructed and came off pretty soon. Cool looking ski though at the time.
@@salasola Maybe the finest graphics ever.
@@roimari I would maybe not go that far. :)
@@salasola Heh. I liked them! 😁
My first and only ski video. I lost the cassette many years ago and would love to see it in its entirety again. A killer soundtrack by Seal, Hoodlum Priest, etc.
stump is the GOAT.
As a miner that mined mìne shafts. This reminds me of how epic greg stump is. Holds the time test. Maybe too much neon but still rips.
Jim Burton Vermont respect
Considering the equipment their working with compared with today's. Epic
Sick! Great Tune. 🤘🔨
Hellz yeah! Get krazy am on it 2023
I Just bought a brand new pair of K2 8.3 Skis Undrilled!
Love Chet ...great friend , old time Valdezen coolest guy on the planet ...

Nice i like your video
Groove is now on DVD at his web site. $15, worth it.
Actually, this IS my favourite.
When schmidt takes the tumble and the skis stay on I remember of this is spinaltap the DIN goes all the way up to....
GOAT level video.
The Best
Goosebumps .
AWESOME VID, RICHARD !
Strange seeing vids with no helmets anymore
And the vintage gear.
Thank you - this inspires me so much
TRUTH:
We’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
Could you tell me which website as I would love to purchase this classic film. Thx
SO GOOD!
How do I send a emote with it's tongue stuck out ?
Beautiful 😍😘
awesome ex-sking !! good shot
Ski and Boarding Ballet
miss skiing the West
that scene is sick, set to Iggy Pop's "Butt Town" if I recall correctly.
SKi companies need to bring back the multicolored bases..
RIP Warren Miller - thanks for this.
Is this not a Greg Stump film?
Who is the snowboarder? Smooth turns!
Why is this the only segment posted about this 30 year old ski movie?
Squaw started it all
Dam worth the $15.00
Love this but why Requiem? As my Dictionaries describe Requiem as a Mass for the dead... You can't be more alive than these guys ….
🤘🔨
I don't know why I got some kind of California wibes
RIP Froz.
This video started it all for me. Totally addicted and made it my life! #daddiesboardshop #ccs.com

Chuck Norris narrating?
Stump film
FKN CRAY CRAY, BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT GAY GAY. YEW!
Had to be even a greater skier to ski this well in Solomon boots... yuck!
Amazing movie. But this link is trash. NOT FULL MOVIE. not even close.

Must be why it says ‘Alaska Segment’ in the title 🤷♂️
