Editorial Reviews

A documentary feature film set in the world of big-mountain skiing, The Edge of Never is a real-life coming of age saga about the tribe of big-mountain skiers who challenge the world's most dangerous peaks. In 1996 extreme-skiing legend Trevor Petersen was killed in Chamonix, France. Nine years later, skiing icon Glen Plake decides it's time for Trevor's 15-year-old son, Kye, to ski the route that killed his father and join the tribe of big-mountain skiers. In this thrilling film, three generations of skiers mentor Kye as he attempts to finish his father's final run. A ripping adventure tale of a young man coming of age, The Edge of Never is also a rich and subtle portrait of men and women who live big in the face of their greatest fears. "Gripping!"

This review is from: The Edge of Never; A True Story of Skiing's Big Mountain Tribe (DVD)

I just watched this film on cable and want to share it with all of my ski-loving friends. This is a true story of the brotherhood of Big Mountain skiing and the circle of support that these skiers offer Kye Peterson is genuine and heartfelt. An amazing story, one that is beautifully told by creator Bill Kerig along with this tremendous cast.

So glad that I came across this film and I wish that there were more films like it. Kudos to all involved in the making of this touching and exciting documentary.

This review is from: The Edge of Never; A True Story of Skiing's Big Mountain Tribe (DVD)

An amazing film of fatherhood and 'brotherhood' with men who love and live totally alive because they live on the Edge of Never. One can not watch this film in my opinion without appreciation for its relationships and Kye.

why oh why is it 'discontinued'?
