A Skier's Journey

I had never heard about this before but I just got sucked into
this show. Although calling it a show doesn't seem to really be
doing it justice. It's a series of nine episodes (thus far)
about a group of pro skiers traveling WAY off the path to these
gorgeous insane mountains to ski. Every 10-minute episode goes
to a different locale, from Japan to Iceland to Baffin Island to
India (yeah, who knew you could ski in India?) Some of these
places take a day to travel to on foot, they hike up and slide
down these ridiculous inclines.
it's cool but what really affected me was the brilliant use of
both you-are-there, fly-on-the-wall and harnessed cameras and
wide-scope "Planet Earth" style beauty shots. The skiers don't
flaunt their presence, but the human element isn't ignored. The
balance is just perfect to me. And the soundtrack jus pushes it
to a higher level, it's not extreme or sporty, it's almost
reverent. It was one of the first things I watched on TV today
(via Roku app) and I was watching for HOURS, glued to the
screen. And it's a series that started off strong and just kept
getting more professional and artistic and gorgeous, I can't
wait for what series four has in store for us.

Is this an internet show or does it come directly from something
like The Discovery Channel? Never heard of it.

Sounds very similar to The Art Of Flight.

It does, actually!
It's an internet direct show, which is why I put it in this
little area. And probably to its' benefit.

It's on Vimeo, you can get it through the Vimeo Roku app. It
was in the Staff Picks (which you can just play straight
through) or you can search for it under Jordan Manley
Photography.

Hmmmm, I just tried Vimeo, the first one I found is Japan. I
click to start, the upload scales through to the end and nothing
happens.
I tried the links to the other countries... same thing. I've
tried Firefox and IE. Same result. Any idea's?
