Another winter season is in the books here in Lake Tahoe. It was a fun winter working with the Kirkwood Mountain Resort marketing team shooting “The Dispatch”, a weekly video series. The winter season had a slow start and the region had unseasonably warm weather.

My good friend and fellow video shooter John Considine and myself were hired to shoot a series of promotional videos for Heavenly Mountain Resort and Vail Resorts. We worked closely with the marketing and sales team to come up with an interesting way to tell the stories of three new boutique hotels in South Lake Tahoe. The concept was to give a hosted tour of each hotel, highlighting what makes them unique.

It’s bee a fun couple of months working with the marketing team over a Lakeside Inn and Casino to produce some videos for their “Best Bet” campaign. The videos are short 30 second commercials that highlight different parts of the casino and re-enforce the “Best Bet” messaging. The videos are used on the Lakeside Inn social media channels and play on the TV screens though out the Casino. It’s been a nice change of pace shooting and editing something different than I usually produce.

I love when I get an assignment to tell a story about about an interesting person. Back in the fall I got a call from Dane over at Deep Roots Media to create a short form documentary style tribute video for one of Heavenly Mountain’s employees, Gary Burch. This year marks the 40th year Gary has worked for the company, leading the lift operations department for the resort. Gary has built every chair lift at Heavenly, which is a lot of chair lifts. Gary and his team are responsible for keeping the massive infrastructure of chair lifts running day after day, season after season.

I recently finished editing my first Television show for the team over at Mountain Resort Television. “The Line” is an award winning documentary style TV show, highlighting the stories of action and adventure sports athletes. This was my first project editing a long format TV show and it was a really great experience. Most web based videos are 1-5 minutes long max, for this show we had to provide 22 minutes of edited content, ready for broadcast. At times editing would become slightly overwhelming, shorting through the huge amounts of raw footage and interview content.

It’s my third year shooting and editing the weekly “Dispatch” videos for Kirkwood Mountain Resort and so far it’s been the best season so far. As everyone knows it’s been a tough time in the snow department around the Tahoe region the past few seasons. We have been blessed by mother nature with some classic Tahoe winter storms, with constant refills of fresh powder every week. It’s been way over due, it’s nice to see the excitement and feel the energy around town again. Here’s to more fun filled powder days.

It’s that time of year again, the days grow shorter, the nights starts getting colder and that feeling of anticipation for winter is in the air. That past couple of winters here in Tahoe have been far below normal snow pack and left many us locals wondering when the elusive Tahoe winter will return. The constant hype of a Godzilla El Nino lining up to hit this winter has everyone’s nerves on edge…could this be the year we’ve been waiting for? Will it be too warm? Is it going to miss us to the south? That’s the beauty of nature, it’s an adventure,
