Matthew Jamison "Jamie" Pierre (February 22, 1973 – November 13, 2011) was a professional free skier. Pierre set a world-record cliff jump of 255 feet (78 m) at the Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming. He skied away with a bleeding cut lip from being hit by a shovel when his partners dug him out of his 12 foot bomb hole. Google's Sergey Brin had estimated that Pierre was almost at terminal velocity when he hit the ground. Pierre made appearances on Warren Miller films, such as Playground (2007), "Children of Winter" (2008), as well as Rage Films and The Ski Channel's The Story of Jamie Pierre.

On November 13, 2011, Pierre was killed in a rockslide while snowboarding at Snowbird, Utah. He was 38 years old.[1]
