Hans Gmoser Films for your viewing pleasure
Take a trip back to where it all began
50 years ago Hans Gmoser started something special. He wasn't the first to fall in love with the mountains in Canada, nor was he the first to make ski films. He was the first to bring a helicopter into the mix and start touring people around to share his experiences. Although Gmoser is credited with the birth of heliskiing as we know it today, many people are not famliar with him as a film maker.
As the video above illustrates, Hans had a deep passion for the mountains and sharing it with other people. He skied endless peaks with the likes of Jim McConkey (father to the late Shane McConkey) and other pioneering skiers and mountaineers.
Early in 2014 Hans Moser's films were restored and released for viewing. The above video is just a taste of what Moser produced. It is an eye opening window into the past and where our modern skiing and backcountry exploits got their beginnings.
So sit back and enjoy the show!
