Nova Scotia Surf Sessions

Like skiing, surfers rely on storms. The east coast of Canada has endured some of the most ruthless storms known to man, and the people there, like the buildings they live in, show the hearty character of a hardened lifestyle.

Surfing the Mentawai Islands - Indonesia

sherpa — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:12:37 -0700

Peep this little vid of Canadian Surfer Christian Moutinho. We hooked up with him and the rest of the Sitka surf team for an epic trip to Indonesia this spring. If Hawaii's north shore is the meca of surfing, the Mentawai Islands of Indo are the Holy Grail.

Cineflex over Vancity

sherpa — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 11:12:30 -0700

In the latest shoot for "All.I.Can", we brought in the big guns from VanCal Cine and rained down some mindblowing Cineflex high over the streets, waterways and true grit of Vancouver's heavy industry. Sulfur plants, coal refineries, shipping yards, logging floats, downtown traffic snarls, high rise buildings, and everything else that gives that town a pulse.

Springtime Icefields Mission - The Freshfields

It's cold and windy, we're incarcerated inside our 8-Man dome tent hiding from the sting of winter. The sounds of the stove rumble in the vestibule as Rubens nobly prepares us dinner on this inhospitable night. As we bed down for our first in temps of -20 C, we're in a state of physical shock and told quickly to acclimate from our shorts and T-Shirt wearing summer environs of yesterday.

"All.I.Can", the environmental awareness epic is well into production and moving along swimmingly. After skiing inside a volcanic crater in Chile this past fall, we've built from there and signed ourselves up for more crazy missions....

Sherpas Latest Project: "All.I.Can"

sherpa — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:52:35 -0700

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rocky Mountain Sherpas are proud to present our newest film project, “All.I.Can”. The first shoot which took place in September 2009 in central Chile and can only be understated as an epic monstrosity of radness. With Mark Abma, Eric Hjorleifson, and Chris Rubens, we etched our mark on one of the last great unridden terrain features on this planet, the summit crater of a volcano!

Volcanic Crater Shredding

The Sherpas are joining Salomon Freeski TV to quest deep into the volcanic region of Chile. While skiers and riders have etched their mark on nearly every mountain feature that has a chance of holding snow and people routinely ski the flanks of our worlds great volcanoes, very few venture from the summit rim and into the craters.

Sherpas Partner with HealthMatch BC

The Rocky Mountain Sherpas have forged a new partnership with an organization called HealthMatch BC. Their quest is to get more doctors from around the world to come and practice in British Columbia. And what better way to do so than to show how badass this province is and to highlight all its recreational opportunities...enter the Sherpas.

The Fine Line Keeps Killing It

sherpa — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:38:36 -0700

Like Uno, the renowned prize-winning Beagle, The Fine Line has claimed "Best in Show" at two more film festivals, bringing home "Best at Festival" at the 2009 Fernie Mountain Film Festival in BC and "Absolute Winner - King of Films" at the 2009 Livigno Film Festival in Italy. The resulting high fives have created a cacaphony of smacks and whamtrons around the office.

And unlike Uno, who celebrated his victory by sifting through the neighbours' garbage and gorging himself on kitty litter, we'll graciously hang our trophies on the mantle with the others. We thank you all so much for your continued praise and support.
