This Avalanche Dog “Digs” You

This is some video of my my friend Brendan Mcgraw and his Golden Retriever Coomba. I have had the pleasure of knowing Coomba since he was 6 weeks old, he is a funny little guy with a huge personality. Coomba is a ski patrol avalanche dog in training. This video was shot at the end of Coomba’s first season on the mountain, taken shortly before Coomba’s 1st birthday. So as you can see, he is pretty much going to be a bad ass. Coomba and Brendan have been training for their upcoming test, which if they pass Coomba will officially be a Ski Patrol rescue dog, and earn his cross.

More Snow…

What a great week! we have seen lots of snow, storm totals close to 4 feet. I went out today and shot this conditions video, and let me tell you people were amped. Probably one of the easiest days I’ve had gathering interviews. Check out the video.

McCall Winter Broadcast Spot

Here is a 30 second TV broadcast spot produced for a local reality company here in South Lake Tahoe. The spot will be airing in the northern Nevada and local markets. Dane produced this spot from our library of stock footage, which will soon be available at a new site were working on. This is the first in a series of commercials for McCall Reality, look out for more coming soon.

Mott Canyon

With the opening of Mott canyon, some of Heavenly’s steepest terrain, Dane Henry and myself headed out to make some turns and capture some frames. Escorted by ski patrol, Dane, myself, and two models headed out to the canyons an hour before the general public. This was another two camera shoot, Dane shot all the wide shots from across the canyon, and I shot the tights. Special thanks to Eric Burkholm, Heavenly ski patrol snow safety director for helping us get to the location.

12/08/09 @ Heavenly

The first large storm of the season rolls through the Lake Tahoe area. Heavenly gets 2 ½ feet of snow in the past 48 hours. With the passing of the storm I headed out to film the fresh new snow. Picture perfect day. Once again thanks to my models for helping me grab some amazing footage.
The famous four hour special, 2 hour shoot, 2 hour edit, post to the web.
One of my personally favorites so far this year.

The Snowmakers 3

By far one of the most challenging shoots I’ve been on. I give the snowmakers a lot of credit, because their job is tough and demanding. Dane Henry and I headed up the mountain with the swing crew at 7:00 pm. By snowmobile escort we captured the crew moving guns and setting up on Ridge Run. The winds picked up around 9:00, and it got cold. Despite all that Mother Nature was throwing at us, it was still a good time.
