Island Lake Lodge recently hosted the Hawaiian TV show Board  Stories, The White Room Episodes.  The crew was genuinely impressed with  the terrain, lodges and great cuisine.  The waist deep dry powder that  few throughout their stay did not hurt either.  The boys from Hawaii  spend their time between great surfing destinations and great Snowboard  destinations…making us all envious.  Watch for the TV show to air next  year on varies channels around the world and on Island Lakes  website.

Mica Heliskiing hosted three film crews this week, and with another meter of fresh snow, the skiing and filming was epic!

Salomon Freeski TV, with Mike Douglas, Mark Abma, Henrik Windstedt wrapped up filming this past week. “I’m stoked to be shooting such talented skiers in the deepest snow I have seen in a long time.  This is my second trip to Mica and I love this place, I wish I could move in” said Mattias Fredriksson, Senior Photo Editor Powder Magazine (photos to the right).

“Mica Heliskiing has the most exhillarating terrain I have ever seen, and I love the fact that they let us ski to our ability” (Edith Rosa Wright). A former Canadian National Ski Team Member, Edith was at Mica last week hosting GMC World of Skiing with Kristi Richards our local Olympic hopeful in womens moguls.

Field Productions (Norway) returned for another New Years shoot. “Last year, when we were filming Eyes Wide Open, I couldnt believe how deep the snow was in December, this weeks footage is even better ” (Filip Christensen). Watch for Field Productions new movie to be released this fall.
