Matchstick Productions just dropped the trailer for the Eric Hjorleifson documentary, HOJI, and boy, does it look fantastic. This trailer is sure to induce goosebumps for anyone who grew up watching the Canmore, Alberta native in the annual MSP film each fall—the author of this post, for example. Catch a first glimpse, above, and get ready to be amazed by the living legend this fall.

Hoji has also been posting some of his favorite clips from over the years via MSP’s Instagram. Take a look, below.

Hoji-grams:

In 2004 a 21-year-old @eric_hjorleifson , aka “Hoji” blew our minds with this epic line and so began his path to appearing in over 11 ski movies while becoming one of the most prolific skiers and designers in the game. Check out this clip from 2004’s Yearbook. #thehojimovie #mspfilms @dynafit @arcteryx @4frnt_skis

“Back in 2005 was officially my first full season filming with @MSPfilms for their film the “The Hit List”. I seem to remember being invited to Whistler in the early season to film and ended up living there for the whole winter… #TheHojiMovie #mspfilms #22YearOldsFeelNoPain #PainIsMomentaryGloryLastsForever @dynafit @arcteryx @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @pomocaskins .

“Over the past 14 years this is probably one of the worst crashes I have ever had. Shot in Stranda Norway back in 2006 filming with @mspfilms for Push. #NowTooOldToFall #DoubleUpsideDownGoAround #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @pomocaskins

“A quickie from 2007, the @whistlerblackcomb park jump had become a tradition for the final @mspfilms shoot of the year, the perfect way to finish the season sending a huge kicker with the crew while @blackcomb_helicopters circled in close proximity! I get excited just thinking back to those amazing sunset sessions.” – Eric #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

Triple Stager from Bralorne: 2008 from @mspfilms "Claim" #TheGreatestSkiMovieEver Welcome to Bralorne and #renegadeheli This was truly the golden age, we spent 4+ weeks that year staging the heli out of the town's baseball diamond.” -Eric #NoRulesNoProblems #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins @eric_hjorleifson

Pillow send to trany sniper: 2008 from @mspfilms "Claim" #TheGreatestSkiMovieEver @chattercreek one of my favourite transition snipes to date, a super blind take-off guarded by trees made this one very difficult and scary to hit! The victory all-time slash turn out the bottom was the icing on the cake! @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

Large huck to flat: A huck from 2009 from @mspfilms "In Deep", I am not sure if I would still attempt this kind of stunt today.. #FatToFlat, haha! I remember this "landing" ripped my goggle strap right out of it's frame due to the severity of the impact! We had sessioned this nice little headwall all afternoon and I had been eyeing up this line for a while, finally I sacked up and hit it, oh the memories! @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2009 from @mspfilms "In Deep" a nice tight straight-line from the Whistler backcountry #ItMayBeSmallButItSureIsSkinny with a funnel shaped entrance I remember the challenge was beating the slough into the chute without entering too fast or blinding yourself. I wish we had today's quality of POV cameras back then to capture this line… @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

“2010 from @mspfilms "The Way I See It" #LivingOnTheEdge in Bralorne, this was the first time we used a cineflex camera to shoot lines from the heli capturing this smooth aerial perspective. I got super lucky on this line near the bottom of the entrance spine, I hung up on a vertical wall and with that moment of hesitation my slough caught me, no choice left but to point it…” @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2011 from @mspfilms "Attack of La Niña" the perfect day on the Mount Meager summit spine wall. I would say this is the most difficult and high consequence line I have ever skied. Just descending the summit knife edge ridge to get to the entrance was terrifying with thousands of feet of vertical relieve dropping to the valley bottom off both sides… The complete story of this line will certainly be told in #thehojimovie. @eric_hjorleifson #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2011 from @mspfilms "Attack of La Niña" a couple of nice POV lines from around the Meager area. This was probably the coolest heli trip we have done, thanks to the vision of @jamesheim and #RenegadeHeli for making the dream a reality. The Meager Creek Hot Springs access road had been cut off by an enormous landslide back in 2009 and #HeimerKnewWhatToDo – @eric_hjorleifson . #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2012 from @mspfilms "Superheroes of Stoke" I had taken most of the season off of filming as I was recovering from ACL surgery I had that summer. April rolled around and the crew was in Whistler filming, they invited me to join the film shoot. This particular day April 7th 2012 was one of the best days I filming I have had: 6 great lines with lots of air time, man it felt good to be back! @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2016 from @mspfilms "Ruin And Rose" Oh to be a kid again! Teaming up @markus1eder for the first time was an absolute pleaser. This insanely talented kid brought me back in time about a decade. Suddenly we were shovelling huge kickers and finding super creative jib lines @goldenalpineholidays #SentryLodge Markus: "You have had this perfect kicker spot right in front of the lodge this whole time and never built it?" as the old man dusts of the cobwebs with his morning stretches #ClassicBackflip Haha! @eric_hjorleifson #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins

2017 from @mspfilms "Drop Everything" A last minute thrown-together trip brought us back to @goldenalpineholidays #MeadowLodge after a 5 year absence. We arrived to challenging snow conditions and had to scratch around for snow the first week of our trip… With the arrival of some fresh snowed the #Esplanade mountain range once again provided us with premium pillow skiing conditions. The elated crew teed off for one of the funnest and most productive sessions of the season. @eric_hjorleifson . #PillowBoss #thehojimovie #mspfilms @arcteryx @dynafit @4frnt_skis @dissentlabs @freshskis @pomocaskins
