Documenting ‘Edge’ of skiing

You don’t have to love skiing to enjoy the sports documentary “The Edge of Never” (8 p.m., Showtime).

Shot in high definition, “Edge” looks at the rarified subculture of extreme skiing.

The film focuses on the legend of skier Trevor Petersen, killed in 1996 in Chamonix, France, the world epicenter of the sport.

Nine years later, his baby-faced son Kye, 15, attempts to ski in his father’s footsteps, aided by Trevor’s friends and mentors, including Anselme Baud, considered the godfather of the alpine world.

•Talent including Wyclef Jean, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Ludacris and Mary J. Blige assembles for “SOS Saving Ourselves – Help for Haiti” (5 p.m., BET; 8 p.m., MTV).
