With help once again from Heavenly’s Ski Patrol, Dane Henry and myself got a personal guided tour through Killebrew Canyon. Armed again with two cameras, Dane shot the wide shot from the promise lands, and I grabbed the tights from below the fingers. Even though we captured some killer video, this was ultimately a scouting for future shoots in the canyon.
Thanks to Jeremy and Colton for showing us the goods.
I went out this morning and shot a couple of clips, and played in the new snow. It’s looking like the holidays are going to be good around here in Tahoe. My friend and ski patrol Brendan Mcgraw joined me for a run, and helped me grab a couple of ski shots.
Hope every one has Happy Holidays.
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.

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.
I was so excited to find out that some of my shots from last ski season of Ty Dayberry are in the new Powder Whore telemark ski film. As I sat watching the premiere of “Flake” at Moe’s Place, I almost jumped out of my seat as mine and Dane’s footage lit up the screen. Over all it is such an honor to be a small part of their movie, these guys are legends in the Telemark film industry. I got to talk to one of the filmmakers after the movie, he was jazzed we supplied him with some footage. Amazing night.

This is the first video I shot and edited this winter for Heavenly Mt Resort. Comet Terrain Park is the first park to open at Heavenly Mt Resort each season. This season Heavenly’s Terrain Park Crew rolled out a whole new set-up of recycled features in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly. Some of the recycled features include oil drums, tires, and corrugated pipes. I spent this nice mild temperature Tahoe day filming with Nick “Pooch” Poohachoff, Joanna “Pnut” Dzierzawski, and Sal Rubio, all members of Heavenly’s High Roller Team. Remind you this is the first week of the season and these guys were bringing their A-game.
