THIS IS HOME - Extended Cut: Zermatt

    Zermatt is a magical place, especially when Sam Anthamatten is your guide. Last spring, Sam welcomed Johnny Collinson to his glacial backyard of 4,000m peaks and together both riders ticked off Sam’s favourites lines, straight-lining steeps, weaving around crevasses and boosting ice takeoffs. Packed with unreleased footage of full throttle skiing to jaw-dropping backdrops, Extended Cut: Zermatt is the bonus edit from THIS IS HOME that we just couldn’t resist releasing.

    JAPAN

    When Japan re-opened its borders to foreign visitors last year following Covid lock-downs, skiers went in droves to ski the legendary JaPow. But only one ski crew went with a mission to ski in the streets and "remove" snow! Don't miss Alex Hall, Mac Forehand, Antti Ollila and local rider Koga Hoshino showing a very different side of Japan, in this urban skiing segment for the ages.

    UTAH

    Tim McChesney, Blake Wilson, Mac Forehand and Duncan Adams put on a veritable pow-booter-hittin', tree-tappin', cliff launchin' clinic in the Utah backcountry. Do not miss Mac Forehand's absolutely gargantuan rodeo 720. It's just one of the stunts among three segment appearances for him in the film that earned him a nomination for Standout Male Skier of the Year at the iF3 Awards.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA

    A segment filled with the British Columbia powder pillows of your dreams, starring Micah Evangelista, Brooklyn Bell, Sophia Rouches and Vasu Sojitra. If the decibels from our global film tour are any indicator, Vasu Sojitra's beautiful skiing - on one leg, no less - is not to be missed.

    ITALY

    10+ of the best freestyle skiers in the world invade Ursus Snowpark at Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, and display a level of skiing mastery that is second to none. Complete with veteran riders and fresh faces, it's the segment that will have Faction's more youthful audience hitting repeat, well, on repeat.
