Snowmaking Starts at Heavenly

The team over at snowmaking just fired up the west coast’s largest snowmaking system today at Heavenly Mountain. Nice cold temps are expected the next few day and these guys are planning on pumping out the snow. For the opening sequence, I really wanted to create something different. The concept was to make a dramatic build up, like the count down of a spaceship launch.

I Live For Winter Video Series

I just finished the “I love for Winter” series which highlighted different departments around the mountain and what their employees do in the summer.
This was a concept I originally came up with last year. I think it’s a fun way to build excitement for the up coming winter season and show the great personalities that work at Heavenly.

First Snow 2011

The transition from one season to another is always an exciting time, especially if you live in the mountains and love snow. Last year was a monster “la Nina” snow year in Tahoe with some ski resorts tallying up over 600 inches of snow. Here is a recap of last year in case you forgot how much snow we had http://vimeo.com/22951931. Winter is creeping up on us fast, the mornings are cold, the days shorter and we just received the first snow of the season. Deja vu? last year the first snow was also on October 5. Could the snow gods be lining us up for another big season? Only time will tell if la Nina rolls back through town again.

Sitting on the Porch

There has been some really cool thunder storms and clouds this week in Tahoe, last night I decided to setup a quick timelapse shot from my back porch. This short clip is nothing fancy, just a quick look at the clouds.
