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.
enjoy

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.

Dipper Opens

Heavenly’s snowmakers continue to cover more runs with snow. The newest run to open is Big Dipper. I went out with three models early morning and captured them ripping up the new run. Thanks to Amy McCormick, Billy Newmen and Richard Jameson for helping me get some great footage.
This was another beautiful Tahoe blue bird day however it was cold, the temperature was zero degrees during the shoot.

Opening Day

Heavenly’s earliest opening day in years, plus some of the best snow I’ve skied this early. With the hard work of Heavenly’s Snowmakers, Heavenly is the first Ski Resort open in the Lake Tahoe Basin. The video team was in full effect. Dane Henry headed up the hill with three models, and captured some amazing skiing. I stayed down in the village and shot around the gondola. Beautiful morning of filming, a blue bird day, complemented by a light blanket of snow left from overnight.

Snowmakers 2

We just wrapped production on the second episode of “The Snowmakers”, a web series for Heavenly Mountain Resort. Dane Henry and myself headed up the Mountain at 6am to capture the sunrise and start the day of filming with the day crew. After the some coffee and the usual truck ride up the mountain, we were greeted with 20-foot mounds of snow. Truly amazing how much snow they had produced in a couple short days. We were escorted around on snowmobiles to check out the progress on Orion’s run. Another exciting day filming and cruising around the mountain.
