@1:57 - that is the most CANADIAN scene ever. Guy using a hockey stick to sauce a ball for his dogs in the parking lot of a ski resort. What a beauty, eh?

@@paulwatt8634 For sure New Zealand also counts. Eaglecrest ski area by Juneau Alaska is also on an island. Though Japan has more active skiers/riders than the entire population of NZ, so the vast majority of people skiing on islands in the Pacific are found in Japan.

If you want a crap ton of snow, that's the place all right.
"yep, it was ice" as my jaw is on the floor. what a beautiful line
When a small community loves skiing like this...really special things happen...it was a treat just to watch how much fun everyone was having.

My favorite part of the video is these pro sponsored skiers just hanging with little kids having fun.
I just did 15 minutes of PT for my knee watching this. Went by like i wasn’t even pushing. Thanks for the motivation!!
Skied Cain 20 years ago. It looks like it hasn’t changed.
Spent every chance I had to go Skiing here in the 90s. Man the stories! The apre ski! Family, loggers, hippies, extreme junkies. Places like this are where it's at. Beats industrial skiing in every category period.
I don't know if I've seen a gnarlier mountain. Absolute insane.
Love Mt.Cain, but if you want to ski the terrain you see in the film, you must have all your avy gear and the knowledge as well.

Thank god im not riding the backcountry with you. Also you might wanna stop giving avy advice on the internet, cause ppl actually die from this stuff.
Looks like awesome snow and badass terrain. Cinematography and production was excellent. Great place. Simplicity is beautiful
The love of playing in the snow is true to my heart as it is with those in this film ❤️
I might not be able to fly at the moment but the best thing about my life here in Croatia is I can jump in my car and drive over to Austria, Switzerland or the Italian Alps, all in under 3 hours. If I cant get to these places I will have to ski in Croatia. But as soon as things are back to normal Mt Cain looks very interesting. I live to Ski.

Love those small and cosy resorts! Great film!
Its good to see Cain is doing good. I spent my whole childhood up this mountain. Staying in the bus park in the old Blue Bird. Cain brings some many good memories back and I'd love to go up again.
I’m a snowboarder but damn there is no way to not appreciate the quality of the content out out ! Sick video and probably the only ski video I watched till the end 🔥🔥🔥
Lmao that guy at 8:40 with a huge bag of weed 😂😂
This makes me really happy to live on the Island. Great film and depiction of the mountain. Cant wait to get up there again!
Born and raised in Bellingham and growing up skiing at Mt. Baker, Mt. Cain has been on my bucket list for a long time. Some day the boarder will open!
I didn't know how much I needed to see this until I saw it.
I haven't skied in decades and not often when I did but watching this put a smile on my face. It's an exhilarating sport you can do by yourself or with friends and have a great time being outdoors and challenging yourself in nature.
This was great. I really love my growing up during the rustic era of skiing. Great to see that some places still exist.
24" of fresh powder almost any ski mt is going to look perfect. That day, that place looks perfect!!
Immaculate filming, such an amazing feeling this video gave me, as someone who loves to ski “off course” I will be visiting this mountain
I grew up in Holberg, a tiny logging village a few hours from Mt Cain, it's where I learned to Ski in the 80's then when snowboarding took off I was one of the few people snowboarding up there..at 1st.. I have hiked to the top many times , deep powder and no one else around. It was awesome (haven't been back in 20 years) it made it into a few magazines in the 90's and became "crowded" after that... up until then I had seen at most 26 people on the slopes (2 school ski trips showed up the same day my school and one from Woss) .The mountain holds a special place in my heart..more so now that I am stuck in the prairies and the nearest mountain is 4 - 5 hours away. Thank you for the video it made me want to go back and see how much it changed..if at all :P
This spot is gonna blow up this year thanks because of Huck Yeah. And I'm most keen on checking it out at some point.

Actually, the pandemic will keep it from "blowing up". At least for this year. Maybe next year.
I remember a few years ago when I was in an outdoors leadership class called Global ROAMS we rented out the entire lodge thing. that was so epic. some of the best days of my life.
Goosebumps from 9.20, sick skiing and sick song
This was fantastic. Thanks for making this video I hope to return some day in the near future
This is gunna blow up for shure
people are so small, but their hearts can be bigger than everything.
Holy shit I can’t believe that place is still there. I skied in 1983 when I was working in Port Alice. It seemed antiquated then I can only imagine now. The road in was as much of a challenge as finding the place. What a great film thanks. It brought back sone great memories from that winter up island.
This is such a great video. That ski area is absolutely epic. Thanks for sharing your story.
Nice film. This is a couple hours from my parents place and the film feels like you got the character of the place. Rustic and awesome full of super people.
The road leading into that place is spectacular.
Perfect ! It captured the vibe of the place, photography, music, everything is just perfect !
This is probably the best 15 minutes on youtube. So calming and chilled out.
Awesome video. Music is a perfect match. Makes me miss BC.
Man those kids can shred! I NEED TO LIVE HERE! Reminds me of my days in Leadville.
I remember going to Mt.Cain during my school program Take a Hike. What an experience
So refreshing. Chill vibe. Good music. Ice cold.
What an awesome place. Thanks for the insights into the great landscape and the crazy people. Ein toller Film DANKE
Truly incredible
This was one of the best ski videos I’ve ever seen. Epic
Incredible
What an amazing place! Having grown up in the 60s and 70s skiing....yes that’s exactly how my area in upstate NY is....very cool!
I live on Vancouver island and i never heard of this place, until this video! I've always been skiing at mount Washington the well known ski resort. This is awesome

Its not really worth the extra drive to mt cain but if your looking for something more adventure like then its a good trip. Be careful though there are no medics roaming around on snowmobiles like mt washington
best segment from any ski segment for a long time. Kick ass all involved. HOOOOOOOOOOJ!!!!
The irony is this might signal the end of the Mt Cain we know.

I’m heading there this winter! Can’t wait been waiting for this trip for 5 years.
That was dope. True soul skiing.
Been Waiting this segment for some time now. Jut total and utter FKN Squad Goals right here plus a really great story about a local ski hill. Thank you Matchstick ✨🇨🇦🏔🔭❄️🎿💖🤘
Nice job matchstick. Great job catching the vibe and it's nice to see Neil's still got it 👌
Very nice production. I am a documentary producer and professional skier in the past and can learn a lot from your style and approach. Lot of dynamics and well completed interaction. Looking at your film I just want to be there. I just want to be a part of it! What could be better? To finish this film with gathering as you did at the beginning...... campfire.... glass of beer and nice conversation.....a completion of the perfect day.
best ski video ive seen in awhile great job
Wow, haven't seen so powerfull energy / video for a while ! Love it!
Really loved this video. Just people and their passion.
Props to MSP. This is lit 🔥
Love the giant bag of BC bud on the table at 8:40
Vancouver island has some of the best riding i have ever experienced.
Masterpiece
Oh man, this was good, really good.
Insane!!
My first trip was a couple of winters ago, snowfall accumulation mid week (closed) was 6'. Great day!!!!
I'm going there when I'm 40 years younger.
Amazing 🤩
Awesome!
Insanely beautiful
Wow! Excellent!
Amazing place! Actually one of my favorite resorts are Arola and Evolene in Switzerland. Very small but with very few people, amazing views and awesome freeride. Verbier is really close but with lots of people competing for fresh tracks... Small resorts are the best.
Just a great film, got this place on my bucket list now! Amazed at how dry the snow looks for Van Island :)
Love it great video!!!
This video is awesome! Great edit
I'm going to be dreaming of this magical place tonight. 🥰

I've been snowboarding for more than a decade, and I used to be skiing back in the days, but this video got me boiling my blood to re-start skiing again.
Great movie!! thanks
Never share this and remove from youtube :) No one, repeat no one needs to know about this place
Quite simply the best youtube video i ever watched in my life
14:43 nice Chamonix ski poles :) Nice ski video!
Pure, unadulterated stoke with your buds! Damn, I love Canadians!
Now that I've seen this, I can't unsee and now I must go to Cain.
Woooow it's amazing
I liked everything about this. Awesome vid of an awesome looking place.
Very well done- fun story and edit :)
This place look sick !
Another great Matchstick vid.

Awesome
I truly wish i had the skills to ski like this, hopefully one day i will be able to
Yesssssss. Maybe not this year due to covid, but I'll make my way over from the mainland at some point.
Awesome footage!
