āSometimes my mind goes kind of crazy about skiing and I ask myself, what if...?ā - Markus Eder
What if you could link every powder turn, every rail, every cliff drop, every comp run and every kicker nailed into one ultimate run? Well, Markus Eder did just that in āThe Ultimate Runā!
This is Markusā Opus Magnum, a medley of face shots, massive tricks and even bigger drops, which was documented by Innsbruck based production company Legs of Steel over the past two years.
Markus has been visualizing the ultimate run since 2015. It may look like a simple undertaking in the final edit, but for arguably the most versatile skier on the planet, it meant taking his skill levels in every form and style of contemporary freeskiing to the next level.
āAll aspects of freeskiing have fascinated me since the beginningā, states Markus.
The Ultimate Run kicks off on the lofty extremities of Zermatt as Markus drops into a sheer expanse of powder, before shredding his way through glacial blocks the size of buses, jumping off ice cliffs and then slips into the belly of the glacier, only to reappear above his home resort of Klausberg. Carving fields of fresh powder he joins a session with his buddies at his local snowpark, before boosting back off into the backcountry for some more face shots. The firecrackers keep on popping as he enters the snow covered architecture of Taufer castle and a mining museum. As the sun sets over the mountains Markus slides out onto the valley floor, six years of dream skiing condensed into ten minutes of pure joy and adrenaline.
This edit took over 90 days to film, entirely in the Alps in Markusā home region. āThe Ultimate Run is Markusā dream project,ā says Tobi Reindl from Legs of Steel, āand it also became one of the biggest and most thrilling projects we have done so far.ā
With the first snow falling in the Alps, āThe Ultimate Runā is a must watch for all winter sports enthusiasts. It will reignite the passion for winter in even the most laid back snow fans for the coming season.

Ever wondered how it was made?! Go behind the scenes of 'The Ultimate Run':
Unbelievably well done!! The best thing Iāve watched in years!! š
The entire cave section deserves an Oscar, the single-most awe-inspiring set of shots I've ever seen in any sports video. I mean that entry with the snow??? COME ONNNNN
He's literally riding the untouched parts of the mountain that everyone looks at and goes, "imagine if someone skied there" š³
If you saw this in a Bond movie you'd say "Oh now that's TOO far fetched." The fact that it's real! Just amazing!
INSANE! I found myself saying "Its still going?!" Incredible route layout, music choices, cinematography and of course execution of all the tricks. Beautifully done
This is the most mind blowing thing I have ever witnessed. This was such a breathtaking experience and mind blowing. This video alone defines what Red Bull stands for, shit was amazing. Iām going to save this video.
Incredible camera work šš»
Iām 62. Iāve seen hundreds of ski videos. By far the best Iāve seen. This raises the bar to the top of the mountain. Congratulations.
It's 10 mins of mind-blowing. Just as soon as I think I've seen the best move, there is another one. Constantly extremely great.
The most fun, amazing, story telling run I've ever seen. Bravo!
Markus proofs another time, that heās the best freeride/freestyle skier! The glacier segment is one of the coolest lines ever skied - crazy tricks in THAT terrain⦠just wowš„¶š„µ
My jaw was on the ground for the whole 10 minutes! What an insane run with photography and cinematography that was completely mind-blowing! By far the best ski run I've ever watched! Something I could watch over and over again and not get bored of it! Austria is now on my bucket list! Looking forward to seeing what you guys create next!
Probably the coolest thing to ever be made ever.
Wow!!! š¤Æ! This badass run took me back straight to my best moments in life: skiing touring climbing hiking... Now i want to share mountain activities with my kid š! Thanks for keeping the joy and mountain's beauty alive! š¤©
