SCH PRODUKTION: X-mas at Crystal Mountain

Pierre x-mas tree hunting

Crystal view

SCH Produktion is back in business. After a lot of struggling with rental car companies, we finally made our way to our first goal on this trip. Crystal Mountain. Last weeks of heavy snowfall brought up some big smiles on our faces. We loaded the bags with camera equipment, prepared our skis, kissed the last days of trouble goodbye, and got ready for some action. We hooked up with Tyler, a local ski talent, to show us the mountain. At first sight the system looked rather small, but it turned out to be a mountain with a lot of possibilities. Steep terrain and huge areas gave us top of the line powder skiing these days and some fine material for our next film. The weather wasn’t the best, but it was snowing most of the time so we couldn’t complain. We had some sun in between and that really made this week a week to remember.

Christmas was a little bit different this year. Instead of the traditionally celebrating the crew woke up to an American breakfast containing white bread, coffee (or something like that), and some Aladdin chocolates brought by Pierre who thereby climbed the popularity throne. After breakfast we had a magic day with skiing and photo shooting. Never seen Kim that stoked!! Satisfied we went home to eat a Christmas dinner in one of the local restaurants but everything was closed of course, and we had no kitchen in our hotel room. Bad planning! Finally we found a shabby Mexican restaurant that didn’t look to tempting, but we had to fill our empty bags and went in. Think we all had better Christmas dinners before, but we had a nice evening with some good laughs.

Skiing is fun! /Pierre
