This past winter I worked with Andy Rosenberg and Andy Jacobsen on this Nature Valley ad. The production crew that came out had never done a skiing shoot and most of them didn’t even ski. They had two days for the shoot and the Wasatch was in the middle of one of her biggest storms. Into the mountains we went after scrounging up beacons, skis, skins and all the other necessities (Thanks to our friends at the Black Diamond Retail Store).
I’ve never been on a tour where we have skied and skinned so little. For several of the shots we just hiked up and skied back down to the road. We had to holler for the film crews to scramble when the snow plows came blasting through the snow banks. They were really nice guys who sucked it up and suffered through it to get the job done.
It’s a bit cheesy, but I think they did a fine job.
