Jacob Wester is one of the only skiers we know of who’s done the classic “freestyle to freeride” flip to its most extreme degree, going from Big Air podiums to skiing some of Chamonix’s most challenging lines. The latest installment of the Jacob Wester Adventures is titled “Ode to the Steeps” and that’s exactly what it is: Jacob’s musings on what has tempted him to ski some of the world’s most challenging terrain, where every turn is life-or-death, alongside some of his best footage from last season.
