#278 Murray Wais – Matchstick Productions

MSP’s Murray Wais is here!

Few people have shaped ski culture like Murray Wais has through the ski film company he co-founded, Matchstick Productions. Their impact is probably bigger than anyone could measure. In this episode he talks about riding the wave from the early days of mail-order VHS tapes to DVDs, GoPros and the internet, and talks about how MSP has adapted as everything around it changed.

We get into mom-and-pop mountain operations vs what investment-bank ownership has done to skiing’s soul. Murray shares a stack of classic stories from the birthplace of Matchstick Productions in Crested Butte, to serendipitous encounters that moved the company forward. He tells a story of the production team getting kicked out of Snowbird, some real talk on gratitude, giving young skiers a shot, and much more.
