Markus Eder’s

Markus grew up in South Tyrol where the spectacular mountains and colorful
ski culture triggered an intense passion for skiing and adventure. He started
out ski racing and was good at it, too, but it just wasn’t enough for creative,
young Markus. Instead, he focused on freestyle skiing, a decision which
changed the course of his career.

After sweeping the competition circuit in Italy he took on his first international
comp, Nine Knights, in 2010. Thanks to a video competition he secured a wild
card to compete as a rookie against some of the biggest names in freestyle
skiing. And he only went and won the whole thing. This sent Markus down a
new path. He took his floaty, trick-heavy park riding into the backcountry and
won the Red Bull Linecatcher in 2011.

But what he hadn't done yet is put out a video where he combined all those
abilities to perfection like he does in The Ultimate Run:

The video begins on the peaks of Zermatt (Switzerland), skiing good

powder, making jumps the size of a bus, throwing itself down cliffs of pure
ice and even entering the interior of a glacier to reappear on the roofs of
Klausberg, the station that is currently his home. On the way through the
Alps, Eder skis on ski slopes, a snowpark with friends, the streets of a
village, the walls of a castle, and he jumps back into the fresh powder in
Austria. All of this as if nothing had happened, with a flow that makes what
seems impossible easy.

In total, 9 minutes of video that have been recorded over two years and
whose idea was born in 2015. Over low heat, there are dishes that taste
better and the one that Markus Eder has cooked is one of them. As we
said, if the Oscars for skiing existed, this clip would win quite a few: best
leading actor, best short film, best photography, best screenplay...
