​VIDEO: Sam Anthamatten And Victor De Le Rue Re-Define Big Mountain Freeriding

Combining paragliding and snowsports isn’t exactly new, but Victor De le Rue and Sam Anthamatten might be onto something with their approach to moving through the mountains. Both experts in their disciplines, the two are still looking for fun and new adventures. The North Face team athletes and freeriders in the purest sense of the world, they are changing the way we move in the mountains. For them, the goal is no longer to reach a summit and then come back down. Now it’s about finding innovative lines through complex and stunningly beautiful terrain, jumping over crevasses, straightlining steep slopes, climbing ice walls to ride down them and using their paragliders to fly over otherwise impassable obstacles.
