Extreme skiing is skiing performed on steep (typically over 60 degrees) and or dangerous terrain. Often, the sport is performed off-piste.
Extreme skiing as a term has changed since the 80's when the term "extreme skiing" was coined to now be classified under Big Mountain skiing and/or Freeskiing which encompases all aspects and methods of decending off-piste terrain.
