Can you see JP? Photo: Dave Mossop
It’s definitely one of the coolest street ski segments you will ever see on film. Not only that, it might just be one of the best ski segments ever caught on film. And it all goes down on the streets of Trail, Rossland and Nelson in crappy, grey, wet, gravelly conditions. Shot by Dave Mossop of Sherpas Cinema, and starring JP Auclair, one of the most legendary freeskiers in the world, the segment was recently cracked to the world online and has since gone viral. Surprise, surprise. We found this great interview of Mossop by Ryan Dunfee of BroBomb Magazine. To read the interview of Mossop on the Sherpas site, go HERE. Check out the “Imagination” chapter below.

Spectacular! This is what makes kids want to go out and play in the snow! Excellent music as well.
Amazing footage-gorgeous, clever-was that guy actually skiing on concrete?. However, the industry fumes and the town look so dreary.
Wow, grew up right there,,,,brings back a lot. Thanks guys very cool video, very cool shots and camera views
It is great and I loved watching it but now all I can think about after the death of Will Schooler in Nelson, BC. is that the skier is not wearing a helmet.

EAZY would have loved this or tried it himself or did try it. Great video,Julie,Geordy
Amazing skier and great to see shots of the streets where I grew up (Trail) and where I learned to ski (Rossland).

Great video. Beautiful cinematography. It brings on the essence of of those towns.
Wow, that was amazing, beautiful and fun!

Now that is freeskiing!
won my first race at Red Mountain. This is amazing. Beautifully shot.
looks like rollerblading to me
My aunt and uncle lived in Trail from the 40s to 70s It looks just the same today!
I will visit there next summer with my camera!
The film and the skiing are spectacular!
I liked it when the bus came saying “uphill”
I`ll add it to the net also!
We’re not close to the Kootenays- on the beach in Del Mar CA. Just watched this after surfing today and gets me stoked for winter and a return trip to 2 of the best ski towns in North America- Nelson and Rossland (sorry Trail). Impressive video top to bottom, greyscape, mood, capturing the vibe of the towns, and music to match. Cheers and hats off to skier and videographer! yeew!
OMG! he rode right past my old house in Nelson, on silica!
and amazing video and skiing
who knew that beautiful moving art could ever be made in Trail? love 16 ml snow films. So beautiful.
Simply put ‘Wicked’ trip through home town…
Walking down those steps to work was never that cool!
Well done, Good ole Trail……
Amazing and right here in my home town where i’ve been born and raised !!!
Lived there, been there, walked there..FANTASTIC JOB, PEOPLE AND CARRY ON MAKING THE SPARKS ON THE GROUND AND IN OUR HEARTS! Rocco Catalano
1 word… SICK!
totally wow, someone was holding the traffic up……really have to agree about the ??? no helmet .. especially following the sudden loss of 21 yr old Will Schooler doing some rails no helmet…small crash…does not wake up the next day, my heart goes out to the Schooler family from Edmonton
Hey, if you are at all familiar with the area then you would see and KNOW that there is about 75% footage shot in NELSON and yes it is that steep and beautifully wicked!!!!!!! Visit us summer or winter and be ready cuz if the Kootenays bite you ….then you will always come back..even to live here!!!!!
Brillant work guys!!!
Perfect sound track!
Loved when you hit the swing and the music was in perfect sinc!
The muted colours…….beautiful!
