Maggie Voisin was itching to ski. It was around 6 p.m. on a weekend in late February, and it was dumping in Park City, Utah, where the slopestyle U.S. Olympic team skier and seven-time X-Game medalist lives. She’d been planning to ski with Good Company for its new film “Crescendo.” But no one was around that weekend to shoot. She had a few days of downtime to kill.
So Voisin dialed up an old friend: TGR athlete Parkin Costain. She and Costain had grown up together in Whitefish, Mont. and kept in touch. She had no idea what kind of wild adventure they were about to embark on together — nor the kind of accolades it would earn her.
“He was telling me about the spot they were going to ski and film the next day and sent me pictures and I said, ‘I’m so jealous,'” Voisin told GearJunkie. Costain responded, “You should just come.”
That tentative invitation was all Voisin needed. She packed her vehicle that night and made the drive up to Wyoming where the TGR crew was shooting for its new film “Legend Has It.” Voisin thought maybe she’d get to do a couple of laps when the cameras weren’t rolling, get some experience with bigger backcountry lines (which she said were totally new to her), and hang out with an old friend.
Instead, she would land herself a spot in that film and shred so hard in it that she’d be named “Standout Female Skier of the Year” by IF3.
Sliding Into ‘Legend Has It’

The crew was only shooting in Wyoming for 3 days. They started with what Voisin called “mini golf lines” — short, quick, relatively low-risk runs.
At first, Voisin was only going to stay for a day. Then that turned into 2 days, and then all 3 days. Before she knew it, everyone was packing up to head home before a snowstorm rolled in. Costain came back to Park City with Voisin.
But before Costain could leave Voisin in Park City and return to shooting, his phone rang. It was TGR. And they wanted Voisin to come back and finish the Wyoming segment with him. So, the skiers packed up again and returned to the Cowboy State for round two.
However, after the snowstorm, the crew wasn’t out for mini golf lines anymore. They were after some much bigger, much riskier, higher-reward terrain. Voisin said it was her first time doing anything like it.
“We got to jump a little bit and I skied one of my first, bigger alpine lines, which kind of sloughed quite a bit, a little bit of snow broke off. It was a pretty cool shot,” she said, clearly proud of the moment. “It kind of got a little spicy.”
