The Sacred Grounds // Part Five: FACETS

by Matchstick
Jan 2024 - 421 views

The fifth and final episode of Kye Petersen's "The Sacred Grounds" is here!!

The Sacred Grounds short film series takes the cast from their backyard of the southern Coast Range of BC, to the far reaches of the Northern BC/Alaska border, to the Japanese Alps, to the Columbia ranges of interior BC, to reaches of the Southern Chilcotins Mountains and beyond.

We are excited to share these adventures into undiscovered zones and 'Sacred Grounds' that hold the best possible terrain environment for displaying these riders passion for skiing. The mountains provide us with so many blessings but can also take it all away in an instant - for this respect is due, a life of dedication is needed, and a whole lot of effort is required, all of which is rewarded with the times of their lives when it all comes together.

Part 5 ‘Facets’ takes us on a journey to the less remote sacred places that still offer life changing experiences. Here we follow Kye to spots he enjoys his every day adventures. Unlike the previous episodes of this series these are mostly common places many skiers and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy, from riding lift access powder Crystal ridge and Spankys bowl in Whistler, to ski touring Blackcomb peak, to fly fishing the banks of the Skeena river, to skateboarding the infamous Whistler skatepark, to casting for Coho on the beaches of Tofino and spring shredding with friends on Blackcomb mountain.

On this final episode to the series we share the striking contrast of how casual yet special these daily outings that shape the life of skiers are, but also how important it is for us to seek the unknown now and then and explore the edge of our comfort zone. We end this series with a session of Alexi, Brin and Kye skiing and boarding some of the steepest and most intense zones deep in the backcountry near Squamish BC. This episode, more than any before it, is as real of profile as it gets highlighting the places that truly shaped Kye’s life and respect for not only the outer limits of his backyard, but also the nearest and dearest.

The latest ski film from Matchstick Productions....THE LAND OF GIANTS!


The story of man vs. mountain is one that has captured our imaginations for centuries. But what if MSP flipped the script? What if, instead of focusing on the human element, we took a closer look at the mountains themselves?

That's the premise of The Land of Giants, a new ski film that explores the most iconic mountains on Earth. From the Fjords of Norway to the spines of Alaska, we will get to know and understand the canvas that creates the most mind-melting moments in skiing. But most importantly, we'll come to appreciate their sheer beauty and power. Captured with revolutionary cinematography combined with genre bending music, The Land of Giants is not to be missed.

The Land of Giants features the best skiers in the world, skiing unbelievable conditions and riding to the very edge and beyond. It's a celebration of the natural world, and a reminder of the power of the human spirit. It's a film that will leave you awestruck, inspired, and humbled.
Join us on this journey into The Land of Giants.

The crew at Matchstick filmed in the most iconic and beautiful ranges skiers dream of. Our “Cast” of mountains are:
Smoky Range, ID // Chilkat Range, AK // Niseko Range, Japan // Sierra Mountain Range, CA // Lyngen Alps, Norway // Wasatch Range, UT // Fitzsimmons Range, BC // Kitimat Range, BC

The Land of Giants cast of athletes features the best skiers the sport has to offer, from all over the globe:

The Sacred Grounds - Part Three: Migration

by Matchstick
Jan 2023 - 1.1K views

Kye Petersen and crew are back at it again in The Sacred Grounds!

Part 3 of the series takes us on an annual journey east from the coast mountains into the Selkirk mountains of interior BC. Here we visit one of the interior’s top pillow skiing destinations and explore new corners of a zone we’ve revisited for over a decade. Here we set up a basecamp in the serenity of the subalpine bowls and live amongst a deep storm to be close and ready to jump on the stacked pillows only minutes from camp.

We then change scenery by jumping on the opportunity to ski at the famous Mica heli ski lodge to the northern end of the Selkirk range. With more big storms pounding down and an all star cast, the crew sets up at the beautiful backcountry lodge with eyes set of the most classic lines that Mica is known for, most of which haven’t been repeated for over a decade. Thankfully despite the snow falling nearly non stop, the crew manages to ride all of which they set their goals towards, in some of the deepest snow possible. This ended up being the trip of a lifetime and a session that surely will go down in the history books.

Part 3 ‘Migration’ of the Sacred Grounds film series is quite possibly the heaviest riding we’ve seen yet in this series, wildest cinematography and the most uniquely featured terrain stacked with pillows, spines, and overhead blower powder. Get ready, sit back and enjoy the ride into more Sacred Grounds.

We are excited to share these adventures into undiscovered zones and 'Sacred Grounds' that hold the best possible terrain environment for displaying these riders passion for skiing. The mountains provide us with so many blessings but can also take it all away in an instant - for this respect is due, a life of dedication is needed, and a whole lot of effort is required, all of which is rewarded with the times of their lives when it all comes together.

Part 2 of the series takes us on a journey from Pemberton BC to the Japanese Alps and back to the crews original proving grounds of Whistler BC. Here we explore how our past of developing hand made skis has affected our approach to riding deep powder and steep pillows, and how the "Connection" between coastal rainforest and man can lead to the ultimate balance of peace and chaos on skis.

Part 2: 'Connection' of the Sacred Grounds film series is one you won't want to miss if stacked pillow lines, deep powder and exploring old growth snow covered forests tickles your fancy. We hope you enjoy the ride along on the journey into our Sacred Grounds.

Avalanche Reminds Markus Eder of an Important Lesson in Backcountry Safety

by Matchstick
Dec 2022 - 388 views

This past season, seasoned veteran Markus Eder was reminded of an important lesson in backcountry safety, as he narrowly escapes an avalanche while filming for #Anywherefromhere. It is important to remember that no matter your level of experience and expertise, avalanches can happen and mistakes can be made. The key is learning from those mistakes and trying our best not to let them happen again. Backcountry snow safety is not only for you but for those around you as well.

Preparation is key when heading into the backcountry. We are proud to partner with onX Backcountry in bringing you the most powerful backcountry ski mapping tool ever created. For a limited time, get one month free, or 20% off your onX membership when you use the code "Matchstick20". Try the same backcountry touring app that Avalanche Forecasters, Matchstick Athletes, Cinematographers, and Ski Guides use.

Start your free membership today!
https://www.onxmaps.com/backcountry/r...

onX is a great tool for getting into the backcountry, but it is far from the only tool you need. Always have a beacon, shovel, and probe, and be sure you know how to use them. Check the forecast, communicate with your team, and make a plan. Seek out opportunities to further your avalanche education. We have been learning for over 30 years, and the journey never stops.

Support your local avalanche center.
You can also visit https://backcountryaccess.com/en-us/l... for more information on avalanche avoidance and safety.

In this exclusive full segment from "Anywhere From Here" Mark Abma and Lucas Wachs meet up with legendary surfers Mathea Olin and Kalum Temple for the trip of a lifetime: Surfing and skiing in the same location on Vancouver Island British Columbia. This segment was a crowd favorite on tour, and it's easy to see why.

Abma sums up this "unicorn of a trip" perfectly:

"To score good snow, good waves and clear skies on Vancouver island within a short timeline required the stars to align.We saw a day and a half of sun in the long term forecast and we then decided to pull the trigger. When we arrived the day and a half of sun in the forecast increased to 4 days of sun!
Asides from Google earth, we had no beta on skiable terrain so this was an exploratory trip which added to the level of complexity. We ended up finding great terrain with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. The swell also came in and @mathea_olin and @kalum.temple shredded some great waves while @wachstavision and I rode some mellow waves."
