Der neue Film mit dem Schweizer Freeride Pro Sascha Schmid heisst „Up and Down“. Gemeinsam mit den beiden österreichischen Freerider Matthias Haunholder und Matthias Mayr ist er einen Winter lang unterwegs um neben spektakulären Abfahrten vor allem die verschiedensten Möglichkeiten des modernen Freeriders auf zu zeigen.
Der Film führt vom Salzburger Land, wo die Jungs mit dem Lift faszinierende Abfahrten erreichen, über Kanada, wo selbstredend der Heli das Transportmittel Nr.1 ist, nach Schweden, das mit Ski Doos erforscht wird, in die Schweiz, wo schließlich mit einem Flugzeug am Gletscher gelandet wird und durch kurze Aufstiege mit Fellen und zu Fuss Atemberaumbende Gipfel erreicht werden.

Weitere Höhepunkte sind die Befahrung der Eiger Westflanke sowie der Gastauftritt von Ski Base Jumper Matthias Giraud.

Premiere des Films der von Marcel Karp ,,Greenhornfilms” in Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Kameraleuten um gesetzt wird ist im Herbst 2010.
