FEATURE - MARKUS EDER'S ULTIMATE SKI RUN<br />

The run features many ludicrous tricks and<br />

sequences; the most memorable are perhaps<br />

skiing through a perfect glacier cave, and a<br />

flip from a moving truck. How did they pull<br />

it off?<br />

“One special thing about Markus is that if he<br />

really wants to do something, he will not let<br />

go of it,” says Christoph Thoresen, the film’s<br />

director. “The truck was a good example. I<br />

thought it was way too crazy. It was a day of a<br />

lot of tries and a lot of dangerous situations,<br />

and he crashed really hard. But in the end it<br />

worked, so I guess he wasn’t that crazy.”<br />

The Ultimate Run is a masterpiece of<br />

modern freeskiing and cinematography. “It’s<br />

a dream come true,” says Markus.<br />
