What are your plans for this winter?

• Finishing my new film in late fall, then knee surgery, then someplace warm for a while!

Do you have a favourite resort?

• Chamonix and Whistler.

Who is your favourite skier and why?

• I guess Glen Plake still... he's still at it, better than ever and climbing big first ascents in Peru...

Who is your favourite skier to film and why?

• Same answer... plus he's really funny to hang out with...

Is Glen Plake still as awesome as he was in the films?

• YUP.

Does Schmidt still own that wonderful yellow one-piece?

• Not sure...

If you had to remake anyone of your films today, which one would it be and would you do anything different?

• Probably, 'Good the Rad and the Gnarly" I would cut the "Harry Ackerman" crap.

Many skiers, professional or recreational, name “The Blizzard of Aahhh's” as their favourite film. Do you think that there will be any films thirty years down the line which were as inspirational as “The Blizzard of Aahhh's”?

• I don't think so... something in that film resonated in a way no Matchstick or TGR film has...

Do you have any future projects coming up? Perhaps a new film in the works? (Your Site mentions “Legend of Aahhh's” - Could you give out any details?)

• "Legend of Aahhh's" is a history film about the freedom of skiing and ski film making... it's looking good.

The ski film industry has progressed tremendously over the past couple decades, with over 25 films coming out this year alone. Are you pleased in the direction the industry is going?

• I am unable to sit through any of todays ski films... no story, crap music, and horrible narration (when they dare to try it).

What is your favourite ski film?

• Groove Requiem: In The Key Of Ski" and "P-tex, lies and Duct Tape".

What's your favourite ski film segment?

• Alaska sequence in Groove cut to Seal's "Crazy"...

In which film did you have the most fun making?

• Probably Blizzard 'cause we were living in Chamonix that winter...

Which film are you proudest of?

• "Siberia".

Is “Droids” really as bad as you, at times, make it out to be?

• YUP.

Do you have any regrets with regards to your films?

• Only that I didn't do a better job marketing and running the company instead of playing all the time! ha ha!

What's the worst (funniest) thing that's happened during filming?

• When something goes wrong technically and you miss an amazing shot...

Your films are often commended for their great soundtracks, which soundtrack did you like the best?

• Groove and P-tex's are pretty solid... the new film Legend's is smokin' hot!

What was it like to have had the opportunity to work with Dick Barrymore?

• I would not be writing you at this moment without Dick's influence... by travelling and watching him work, I began to believe I could give it a go...
