Yesterday, the legendary Matchstick Productions dropped a video titled: Is This The Craziest Ski Footage Ever?!?

The video, which featured MSP's best skiing in Alaska, was shot entirely via drones, meaning some pretty wild angles were possible.

Check it out.

Look. Someone has to say it. Drones are annoying.

Or, at least, that's how I thought about drones for the longest time. One moment, you're enjoying a nice ski, hike, or whatever your preferred outdoor activity is. The next? Some jabroni who think he's the Red Baron's second coming is buzzing around, causing an unholy racket with his $4000 drone so he can make a sick nature edit.

But you know what? I've come around to drones.

They're like mini helicopters, meaning, if used by skilled hands, they can produce previously impossible footage, like those featured in this edit from MSP. It's a cool bit of filmmaking evolution, comparable to the leap from film to digital.

All I ask is that drone pilots know when the buzzing of their aircraft is and isn't tolerable—otherwise, keep producing rocking footage.

Speaking of MSP, this footage is pulled from the production company's latest film, The Land of Giants (not to be confused with Land of the Giants), which you can watch in its entirety right here.
