Willy Bogner Film

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.

Action-comedy about a wealthy man who fakes suicide for the amusement of watching his family and creditors compete for his wealth. Many cameo appearances!

Their first meeting is a disaster: he falls off the ski lift, and when she jumps to rescue him he leads her on a Key Stone Cops chase down the mountain. For JOHN EAVES, six-time winner of the Freestyle World Cup and stunt man for James Bond, it's love at first sight. For World Champion Freestyle skier SUZY CHAFFEE, it's a see-ya-later-buddy. But John doesn't give up easily. He decides that if the only way to win her means following her across country, then that's what he'll do. Starting in Manhattan he trudges 3,000 miles, through urban jungle and flatland desert, all the time fantasizing about what they'll do when they're together. Spectacular filming of incredible ski stunts and snow dancing blend with a power-punching soundtrack to make FIRE AND ICE a movie packed with action and adventure. If you don't ski, you will!

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. The story surrounding the whole thing is completely insignificant compared to the wonderful pictures. Nearly all the actors in the movie are world champions in their category. Willy Bogner's most famous work are probably the ski stunts in most of the James Bond movies.

Short film by Willy Bogner. Created as an advertisement for the 1997 Bogner ski clothing collection. Featuring alpine ski and snowboard champions. Filmed at St. Moritz, Switzerland and Island Lake, Canada.

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!
