The trip changed his life forever. Over the next four decades, he became an extreme skier, paraglide pilot, film maker, journalist and event producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 1978, when he was 21, Peter had already organized his first major climbing\/skiing expedition and documentary film on Peru's highest peak - Huascaran (6746 m, 22,132 ft), along with French extreme skiing legends, Patrick Vallencant and Jean Marc Boivin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccidents began to happen. In 1979 he cartwheeled 900 vertical meters (2,700 ft) down a 55 degree face while skiing Peru's Ranrapalca (6746 m, 22132 ft).

While attending SFU he continued his films and first ski descents off mountains like Mexico's Popocatepetl; BC's highest peak, Mount Waddington; Mount Serratus; Mount Currie; Siberian Express; and many more. He brought extreme skiing legend Sylvain Saudan (and the name) to Blackcomb's Saudan Couloir. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt least 20 films later, with more crashes, torn knee ligaments, and several near-death experiences, he then discovered the arcane sport of paragliding, and brought it to Canada. Then came more severe accidents, including a fractured femur and cracked pelvis, controversial sporting events, and judging films at several mountain film festivals around the world.
