What a fortunate start to winter for California this year! One of the hardest parts about filming the ski / snowboard industries is that we rely so heavily on Mother Nature… there’s only so much faking you can do with bad snow conditions.
This December and January we in CA have been hit with storm after storm, giving Josh Daiek and I the conditions we need to start filming for Mountain State 2.0. We’ve been focusing on the story of the Caldor Fire and how it’s affected Josh living in Meyers CA and the larger mountain community in the west. The power of the fire and its near-miss of South Lake Tahoe combined with the blackened trees with white powder is providing a potent story and stunning visuals.
More storms on the way next week!
