SNOW WAY

Can you spot the skier? Somewhere in this photo is an extreme sportsman plummeting down a near-vertical 13,000ft peak

Most of the time it looked like "controlled falling" because it was so steep

CAN you spot the daredevil skier on this cliff in Switzerland?

Photographs capture Jeremie Heitz in action as he descended the mountain in the Pennine Alps - his tiny silhouette barely distinguishable against the vast, snowy landscape.

The extreme sportsman took to the slopes while filming an adrenaline-pumping video for Red Bull.

 Just in case you couldn't find him...

Just looking at this dramatic 13,000ft vertical peak in Switzerland is enough to make your legs wobble.

But not for extreme Swiss skier Jeremie Heitz, 27, who thought descending the deadly mountain would be an adventure.

We’re talking real extreme-skiing here, where the slightest mistake means you’ll end up with more than a few bruises if it all goes pear-shaped.

Footage shot from the sky shows him fearlessly zipping down terrifying slabs of off-piste terrain.
Although most of the time it just looks like a narrowly controlled fall down major Swiss Alps.

Jeremie is on a mission as he selected 15 of the most beautiful peaks of the Alps to illustrate the "evolution of steep skiing over a decade".

Jeremie developed a passion for skiing from a young age and he tackled his first run at the age of two.

He says that his special talent is "never saying no to new adventures" and his philosophy in life is to "enjoy your time at 200 per cent".

In the video, legendary extreme-skier Sylvain Saudan said: “I think in all sports the evolution has been towards speed.

“We see this is a skiing as well, we see it with big fast turns, which is amazing, but I don’t think we will see it on slopes over 50 degrees where falling is not an option…”

It looks like Jeremie has proved him wrong.

 The slope was so steep that falling would mean certain death
