Fireballs, powder, swag, slush chugging, big air, cheering, tomfoolery, and more. All on one night of revelry this past Friday in Whistler. The Doglotion.com crew brought TGR's premiere of their latest film to town, and LOST & FOUND didn't dissappoint. Definitely one of the best flicks yet, it got the attention it deserved with easily the biggest Whistler turn out yet - 2 packed shows - or just under 500 people.

The stoke factor was high, and the freshies on the mountain that afternoon only amplified it. Winter's coming indeed.

Kicking off the show was none other than the world premiere of Paul Cotton's Gaper Day 2007 film. Frickin' hilarious. What more can we say? Gaper Day, exposed in all it's gory detail. Watch for it online soon. With a few dozen gapers in the audience, the crowd went off for the whole 9 minute film. And anticipation is already mounting for what Gaper Day 2008 could hold.

Then onto the main show, an hour of DEEP pow, big lines, spines, big airs, and the Whistler boyz showing everyone how it's done. Ian Mcintosh, Kye Petersen, and Dana Flahr were all in the house, signing posters an cheering on each other's segments. McIntosh destroyed it, and opened the film in style. Then comes Kye blowing away any remnant stereotypes of being a freestyler, then just when the movie is starting to get too focused on mellow pow, wham, out comes Dana for some triple drops and good times.

Alex, Ian, Dana & Kye checkin out the flick.

Every segment in the film got huge props, and hell people even stayed to watch the credits.

Then on to the 'Horn for some Fireballs, Fire Ice & Dynamite themed flourescent decor, 80's beats, and a 4-girl chugfest stand off for the grand prize of the evening... a pair of DYNASTAR Big Troubles.

It was a close race but Victoria Cole from Whistler claimed the prize. Question is, was it worth it, now that this flattering photo has surfaced on the web? Hell ya it was, Big Troub's baby. (We have a better one, but we'll leave it to your imagination). And hey, notice there's no guys? Most dudes were too chicken to enter, hearing rumours of Fireball flavoured slush. But nothing could scare the girls away.

Until next year, have an epic winter, and if you ever need a little extra stoke, watch Gaper Day 2007 or LOST & FOUND and you'll be back at it in no time.

About the film...

LOST AND FOUND is the story of the extraordinary season of 2006.07 as seen through the eyes of world-class skiers and snowboarders. With global drought persisting and ski resorts closing around the world, athletes are forced to follow the snow, sending them deep into the uncharted north country of Alaska and Canada – including of course – the Whistler area. Filmed almost entirely in North America, LOST AND FOUND is a testament to the terrain and conditions that only exist in the Western Hemisphere.

It wouldn’t be complete without mind-blowing performances by some of our favourite Whistler athletes, Ian McIntosh, Dana Flahr, Kye Petersen, and Victoria Jealouse. McIntosh returns to try one-upping the films best breakthrough performance in last year’s film – his own – while Flahr is pumped on his return from injuries, and it shows. Once again, the Whistler crew pretty much shows the pros how we rock here in Whistler, and well, how last winter rocked us.

This film will take you into the vast, unexplored Tordrillo Mountains of Alaska, proving that some of the best big mountain riding in the world is still completely undiscovered. Athletes take advantage of the bountiful winter in British Columbia, hit disturbing park features in Aspen and score over-the-head powder pillows at Skeena Heliskiing. The winter of 2007 was feast or famine; LOST AND FOUND documents the feast.

MSP Premiere of Seven Sunny Days

The World Premiere of MSP's Seven Sunny Days was off the hook, setting the tone for another epic winter, and more epic film premiere's to come.

Set outdoors in village square (aka awesome), on the warmest day of the fall (horse shoe up their #@$), a couple thousand people packed the area to watch the flick and cheer on the athletes in attendance.

Matchstick's athletes and stars of the film showed up to sign posters and meet and greet the mob of fans. Athletes included Sarah Burke, Mark Abma, Shane McConkey, Hugo Harrisson, TJ Schiller, Mike Douglas, Ingrid Backstrom, Chris Rubens, Eric Hjorleifson, CR Johnson, James Heim, and Rory Bushfield. The film's directors and cinematographers were also on site to share the enthusiasm.

And what better a place to watch it than Whistler, where pretty much all the athletes called home last winter, and those who didn't admitted they were suckers. The film documented some pretty epic shredding, some new faces, rad follow cam and sunset cinematography. All around good times.

Awesome to see Hjorleifson and Heimer break out into even more mad stardom, well deserved. Good shredding. The flying suirrel suits had the crowd going mental , and of course Shane Bond is our new idol.

We interrupt this article with a Red Carpet flick from RIP.TV...

If we had to play god and complain about anything, it would be Sarah Burke's totally girly segment (sex symbol or skier?), we prefered her as a skier. No offense to her, more to the editing. We know she rips, and she did bust some pretty huge moves. And the high jib content in the flick. It was rad, but straying from MSP's roots fo' shizzle.

"Seven Sunny Days" will be touring to a town near you this fall, check it out at www.skimovie.com.

Matchstick Productions would like to thank all of their sponsors for continued support: Helly Hansen, Subaru, Whistler Blackcomb, Nordica, Rush HD, Red Bull, Salomon, Powder, and New Era.

PS - apparently the after party at the GLC totally rocked, but we missed it, tragically. Just building up even more party angst to let out at the upcoming film premiere parties.

And here's some surreal pics...
