Summit Fever (2021)
Along this goal to ski all fifty of "The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America", there lies a few cruxes. A few lines that stand out as the ultimate test for skiers. Lines that have seen one, maybe two, ski descents in history. One such mountain that is on that list is Mt. St. Elias in Alaska. Mt. St. Elias is a mythical, foreboding peak that jumps straight out of the ocean, 18,008 feet into the sky. It's renowned for violent storms that come straight off the northern pacific and slam into its icy steeps. It is unknown how many people have ever stood on the summit, but it is known that most people that try, fail. In May of 2021, Cody Townsend, Dan Corn, Nick Russell and cinematographer Bjarne Salen set out to climb and ski this Alaskan beast. This is the tale of their adventure.

Reviews
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
