About
Jérémie Heitz is known as the world's fastest freerider. In 2016 the Swiss pro skier ticked off a list of the Alp’s most iconic ski descents, mostly from peaks over 4000m, skiing them in a “freeride style” and sometimesreaching speeds of over 100 kilometres per hour. This has been documented in the famous film "La Liste". In his most recent project "Everything or Nothing" he applied this style to steep walls in the Andes and the Himalayas and climbed mountains over 6000 m high.
