About Axel
Up and down and everything in-between - Tyrolean local Axel Naglich likes to ski mountains where no one has dared before. In the last couple of years Axel Naglich (41) has been to the major peaks and has pioneered some of the most extreme ski-routs there.
He’s been to the slopes of Nutpse in the Himalayas, he skied down Mt. Elbrus – Europe’s highest Peak, traveled South America and left his mark on Iran’s Mt. Damavand. In fall 2006 however, Mt. Cook’s Caroline Face turned out to be an untamable shrew and the defeated extreme skier returned back to the northern hemisphere.
He took up a one of a kind adventure in May and August 2007, but preparation was under way for years – the longest snow covered vertical line on the planet on Mount St. Elias in the middle of nowhere in Alaska, nicknamed “the unmerciful”. Just the possibility to ski all the way down from the peak at 18,008 feet to the ocean is second to none. The vision just turned into a major motion picture. Mount St. Elias is the portrait of a mountain and its conquerors.
