Interview by Jeff Schmuck
Hey Geoff, what have you been up to lately, besides being devilishly handsome?
Hmmm, not much other than kissin babies and signing boobs, the usual Meathead tour stuff.
It’s been a busy autumn here at the Wanderland Ranch headquarters in Williston, Vermont.
It’s been stellar.
We’ve knocked out about 30 screening so far with many more to come.
After the hometown showing we all had a few too many cocktails.

Alex Beaulieu-Marchand: not afraid to get down and dirty for the shot in Switzerland.
Tell us about last winter, and what went into making No Matter What.
Last year was a tough winter to say the least.
Early season filming of urban was non-existent since there was no snow in any of the East Coast cities.
We didn’t even start shooting any on-mountain skiing until the middle of February.
That was definitely surreal.
Going from nothing to some of our best shots ever felt like a sweet redemption on the season.
We filmed and skied for two weeks at their small local resorts and got some incredible shots.

Based on the conditions, would you say this was the most challenging movie you’ve ever made?
Without a doubt, last winter’s weather made it our most challenging movie ever.
On that same note though, we’re not complaining.
his is what the East Coast is all about!

There’s also tons of rad extra shots from our extended Switzerland journey.
Looking a little ahead, what are your plans for this winter?
Well we’re moving full steam ahead with the Ski The East brand and website.
Keeping our fingers crossed for big snow!
