Matchstick Productions In Deep (2009)
The 2009 season gave MSP the opportunity to take an original look at the sport of skiing. The format of the film is going to be a fresh approach for MSP this year, said Executive Producer, Murray Wais. We captured so much epic footage this winter, we could have put out five teasers like this. Haines, AK was the ultimate trip because everything came together, added skier Eric Hjorliefson. We had great weather, great snow, and we were able to ski everything we wanted to, which usually never happens. MSP was also faced with tragedy this year when long time friend and star skier Shane McConkey died in a BASE jumping accident. In this film MSP will feature a McConkey tribute segment that will highlight his incredible career as a pro skier. Each tour stop will have a contest to see who can dress up as the best Saucer Boy with prizes being given out nightly. Shane McConkey was the greatest ski film star of our time, in addition to being an incredible person and a loyal friend. We all miss him deeply, said
