This pro skier is also the cofounder of S.A.F.E A.S. Clinics, an organization created to educate woman on snow safety and avalanche awareness. She has competed in the X-Games and has collaborated with the film production company Matchstick Productions. Speaking of which…
Matchstick Productions @mspfilms
https://www.instagram.com/p/BATIfs7FMlz/
Matchstick Productions aka MSP Films has been making ski-centric documentaries for over twenty years. They more or less are carrying the torch passed on from the great Warren Miller, who was a maverick when it came to directing feature length flicks on skiing. But the photography featured in their Instagram feeds is pretty impressive, too.
KC Deane @kcdeane
https://www.instagram.com/p/BBGbdxhFbjE/
KC Deane is a winter sportsman and surfer. However, most of his beautiful images on Instagram document his adventures in skiing. He is also a filmmaker: his ski movie “Blank” was released last year and is now available on iTunes.
Jon Olsson @jonolsson1
https://www.instagram.com/p/BAEzQNLkj0O/
This guy is almost impossibly popular on Instagram – over 300K followers – which shouldn’t surprise anyone as he’s a bit of a superstar in the professional ski racing and freestyle circuit. Winner of nine Winter X-Games medals, he has conquered many competitions and apparently has invented some acrobatic freestyling moves as well. Although he did no shoot all of the images featured on his Instagram, Olsson has enthusiastically taken up photography within only a few years. You can check out his thoughts on this on his blog.
Burton Snowboards @burtonsnowboards
https://www.instagram.com/p/BBBG0cJMVUR/
Another name that needs no introduction, the popular snowboard manufacturer has an enormously popular Instagram feed followed by 800k and more.
