GoPro Series Follows Skier's BASE Jump Off a Chamonix Face
San Mateo – October 21, 2026 -- Episode 1 of GoPro's six-part series "The Line Above" is live on the GoPro Snow YouTube channel, with new episodes every Wednesday through Nov. 25. The show follows pro skier, BASE jumper and GoPro Athlete Matthias "Super Frenchie" Giraud through a two-year effort to ski BASE jump from the north face of the Aiguille du Plan above Chamonix in the French Alps.
Giraud skied a 600-meter, 50-degree face on May 26, 2026
The route included two 60-meter rappels anchored in ice. Giraud finished by skiing off the bottom serac and opening his parachute midair. The face was first skied in 1977 and has been descended only a handful of times. According to Giraud, no one had ever exited the line with a ski BASE jump.
