Zermatt is a magical place, especially when Sam Anthamatten is your guide. Last spring, Sam welcomed Johnny Collinson to his glacial backyard of 4,000m peaks and together both riders ticked off Sam’s favourites lines, straight-lining steeps, weaving around crevasses and boosting ice takeoffs. Packed with unreleased footage of full throttle skiing to jaw-dropping backdrops, Extended Cut: Zermatt is the bonus edit from THIS IS HOME that we just couldn’t resist releasing.
