Magic Ski Line on Canada’s West Coast

Ian McIntosh skis The Blue Wall for the film Magic Hour by Teton Gravity Research

The Blue Wall is a steep line on Canada’s west coast that has been a handful of times by veteran big mountain skiers over the years. Teton Gravity Research has released a new film featuring B.C. skier Ian McIntosh making a stylish descent of the The Blue Wall that you can watch below.

McIntosh got his start at a young age by ski racing at Panorama Mountain Resort near Invermere. He’s gone on to become one of the best backcountry skiers in North America.

“For the last 17 years, we’ve had the distinct opportunity to witness many of legendary big mountain skier Ian McIntosh’s conquests,” said Teton Gravity. “What’s nearly more astonishing than his skill set on-snow is the unique beginning to his career as a professional skier. Mac’s passion and gratitude for skiing is inspiring; then, the camera’s roll and we get to watch him dissect harrowing lines across the globe—some of them first descents—as he continues to inspire and progress not just his own abilities in the mountains, but the sport as a whole.”
