Matchstick Productions’ premier of In Deep: The Skiing Experience was a huge hit with the Alpine Club! Over 50 members came with us to the Gothic Theater, and the winner of the Saucer Boy Contest was none other than a member of the club himself! And, on top of all that, we got a shout-out on the MSP Tour Blog! Check out the post here, and if you came, see if you can spot yourself in the picture below!
Special thank you to Kellan and Frankie at MSP for their help with posters, stickers, tickets, and everything else that they do to make for such awesome premiers!

For 2009, MSP Films takes an original look at the sport of skiing. All of the skiers in the film—park rat or big mountain charger—share a common bond: the overwhelming desires to ski. Each person finds stoke in his own unique way, whether it be a double cork 1260, a deep turn on a storm day or ripping a giant AK line. Skiing is an incredibly diverse sport that offers it all. With the progressive skiing and award-winning cinematography that has made MSP famous, MSP Films takes you along for the ride deep into the experience as we share the love for the greatest sport in the world.
STARRING: Mark Abma, Sean Pettit, Eric Hjorleifson, Daron Rahlves, Henrik Windstedt, Chris Davenport, Bobby Brown, Colby West, TJ Schiller, Mike Douglas, Kaj Zackrisson, James Heim, Hugo Harrisson, Rory Bushfield, PK Hunder, Ingrid Backstrom, Jacob Wester, Russ Henshaw, Henrik Harlaut, Alexis Godbout, Michelle Parker, JT Holmes, Sammy Carlson, Chris Rubens and Shane McConkey.
