Off the Edge

I just want to credit the most excellent music to John Hanlon with his song "Higher Trails". He has a couple of new albums: Just Quietly and 12 Shades of Blue, both of which are excellent and are available through Marbecks.

The dvd of the film can be purchased from various nz sources for about $20. Three such are:

Great film! Used to own it on video as a kid! Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this film or the soundtrack list?

Hi Marty - there is a follow-up film called The Leading Edge. You can see it in full here: http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/the-leading-edge-1987

I loved this film when I was a teenager and am so glad I found these clips - please, please release it as a DVD it is brilliant and inspirational and would be wonderful for today's newcomers to ski touring, off piste and backcountry skiing. Thanks so much!

Thank you, thank you for this, or should I say "Thanks" to Michael Firth for allowing you to do this. Now perhaps you can get him to make it available on DVD. Since both 'The Leading Edge' and 'Off The Edge' have never found their way to dvd, it would seem appropriate to put both on one DL DVD. The Billy T. James fans would welcome the former and the skiing/hang gliding fans would carry the latter. In the meanwhile, I will have a link to this page to help steer folks to another great example at your wonderful site.
