Famous ski stunt cameraman Willy Bogner's fourth movie features breathtaking pictures of extreme skiing, snowboarding and a lot of other things you don't want to try at your next skiing holiday.

Willy Bogner's most famous work are probably the ski stunts in most of the James Bond movies.

With his first film "Skifascination", Willy Bogner junior composed something unprecedented: a ski symphony of ski races, sketches and ski ballet. The world had never seen such an aesthetic combination of choreographed ski turns, brightly colored ski suits and emotional music in 1966! Shot in Ultrascope in the mountains around St. Moritz, the idea, script, production and camera shots were all the work of Willy Bogner. The spectacular images opened up completely new perspectives on skiing, which at the time was primarily seen as a high-speed sport. Willy added a romantic touch to skiing by combining it with beauty, harmony and fun. He didn't even need a continuous plot - snow, mountains and dancing on two boards were all he needed as the main characters!

Fun and breathtaking action, the fascination of speed and pure zeitgeist - that's "Ski to the Max". Willy Bogner wanted to push the boundaries - and exceeded them. A stunt thriller like a mixture of James Bond and Ethan Hawke: Deep snow skiing in the Himalayas, extreme skiing in Alaska, slopestyle in Aspen and paragliding in the Engadine. The best skiers in the world set new standards for human possibilities.
