Tamarack Lodge Opening

I have been documenting the building of the new Tamarack lodge since the end of the summer. It’s been really interesting to watch the building process, especially over the last month were it really started to take shape. Heavenly hasn’t had a new on mountain lodge in over 31 years, I definitely think it was over due. The Tamarack lodges is probably one of the nicest lodges I’ve seen in the Tahoe Basin, simple design yet well done with attention to detail. Think I found a new spot for a Beer. I’m really proud of this edit, I dug up some old 1957 footage from our Heavenly archive, which was a honor to play with. It incorporated well into this piece. From start to finish only 135 days.
 

Ty Dayberry and Dan Benson

Fun powder shoot this morning with Ty Dayberry and Dan Benson. I was a perfect “Tahoe Blue Bird Day”. Really happy with the shots from today, especially the shot of Dan riding on the shadow line. Check it out!

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.

Tamarack Lodge Update 12.03.10

Checked out the progress on the new Tamarack Lodge today. Looking very nice in there, as the crews are hard at work putting the finishing touches on the interior.  The new bar 9150′ is taking shape and looks like this will definitely be the new hang out on the mountain. I also interviewed Food and Beverage Director Steve Turner and got the low down on all the food choices that will be available. The new lodge will open this winter, check out how great the inside looks.

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.
