Season to Remember

So far it’s been a season to Remember, not just for Tahoe, but seems like the whole country is getting snow right now. This has been one of the best starts I can remember for a while. Usually, this time of the year were skiing on rocks and patches of dirt, pretty amazing to have the entire mountain open in the first month of the season. Hopefully, storms keep heading our way, it would be nice to have a HUGE winter, it’s been a while. Check out this recap of November/December so far.

Mott Canyon Open

One of the earliest openings of Mott Canyon in over 10 years thanks to a massive amount of snow in November. I met up with Snow Safety Coordinator Eric Burkhome and took a couple of laps through Mott. The snow was still OK from the past storm cycle, but a little on the heavy side. We grabbed some skiing shots, and then let Eric’s rescue dog Boulder make a few turns in the powder as well.

Cal Trail Terrain Park

The Cal Trail Terrain Park has to be one of the best early season parks I’ve ever seen, Mike Thomas and his terrain park crew have started the season off with a bang. With all the snow this month, Mike was able to build 15 features and a three jump line, which everyone seemed to be very excited about. I met up with the Heavenly High Roller Team, Kyle Smaine, Graham Raymond, Jason Arens and Brent Whipple. This guys where shredding the early season park. Check out the action from the day.

The Storms Clear

After 5 days of pounding snow and 58 inches later, the sky’s cleared in true Tahoe fashion. Nothing like 5 feet of snow and a blue bird pow day…did I mention it’s also the day before Thanksgiving! pretty unheard of for this time of year. Also the mountain is almost completely open, giving us top to bottom skiing. Can’t wait for a day off to go out and play in the snow.

Powder Day at Heavenly

With multiple storms hitting the Tahoe area we’ve seen almost 3 feet of snow fall so far. What an awesome way to start the season. I can’t remember many Novembers here in Tahoe that we have gotten this much snow before December. Today was a tough shoot, the past storms have produced high winds creating blizzard conditions.

Opening Day at Heavenly

Super excited for this years ski season and with opening day done and in the bag, it’s official the season has began. With storms moving in to the area, we kicked off with a foot of fresh new snow. The runs were busy as everyone was up playing in the snow. I went out with 4 models and made some turns. First shoot of the season was a success.
