In the beginning of this filmed extravaganza featuring snowboarding, ice climbing, and "extreme skiing," the director appears in front of the camera to explain why he traveled to Alaska with an IMAX camera crew.\tThis unusual behind- the-scenes approach continues through Extreme Winter, and the viewer not only is treated to spectacular footage of people risking life and limb on impossibly steep terrain but is also shown exactly how the footage was captured on film. For instance, in one segment a champion snowboarder hurtles downhill, and she is closely followed by a cameraman who's performing the tricky stunt of snowboarding while also holding and aiming a 50-pound IMAX camera. The intrusion of the camera people thus begins to make sense, as one can honestly wonder who should be the star of the proceedings. The film is a tribute to Alaska itself, and some of the footage of snow-covered mountains would be spectacular treats for the eyes even if maniacs weren't snowboarding perilously close to enormous cliffs or clinging to and climbing up forbidding walls of ice. The various athletes filmed doing their risky feats on the mountains speak in interview segments, giving some insight into what possesses them to, as one aptly puts it, "face my fears." This is an exciting and highly entertaining blend of gorgeous photography and extreme sports. --Robert J.
