Alexis Roland

Have you heard of Alexis Roland? If not, you soon will. First Tracks Productions started working with Alexis in 2007, when the Burton Smalls rider was just 6 years old. We’ve filmed Alexis each season since, helping her grow in popularity both within and outside the action sports world. Her promotional videos have received millions of views and have inspired a new generation of female riders. Here’s the segment First Tracks produced of Alexis for Warren Miller’s film Dynasty.

Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority (LTVA)/Tahoe South

Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority has contracted First Tracks Productions to produce an ongoing series of promotional videos. Recently, they needed a video that both showcases Tahoe South, and all that the area has to offer, and incorporates their new theme: The Wild Side. First Tracks came up with a fun and unique take on the theme. Check out the video that premiered at the NASJA (National Association of Ski Journalists of America) conference in March, 2012.

Outside Television

In 2010 RSN (Resorts Sports Network) merged with Outside Magazine to launch Outside Television. First Tracks Productions has had a long-standing relationship with RSN, so when Outside Television needed new content to help gain positive exposure for the new channel, they contacted us to create new content. Here’s the intro to splitboarding video we produced – and Prior, a ski and snowboard company we work with from British Columbia was quite pleased with the TV coverage they received in this piece:

All-Women Sports Camp

In 2011, the All-Women Sports Camp launched with an inaugural weekend at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort featuring group runs, mountain and road bike excursions, and a fanstastic array of clinics and other activities. Event Director Inger Norman suspected the weekend would be a blast, so she asked First Tracks to film the activities to help promote the camp and to attract future participants and sponsors. First Tracks produced two videos; a 4-minute trailer and a 1-minute quick hit. Norman was right, of course, and everyone involved is looking forward to future events.

Bailey Duran

Dave Duran knew the snowboarding skills of his 4-year-old daughter, Bailey, were pretty spectacular. The question was how to show everyone else. Two seasons and three First Tracks videos later, Bailey has been featured on Outside Television and is now riding for top-tier companies such as Roxy and Eternal Snowboards.

Bailey has plenty of her own ideas about movie-making. After watching Blake Griffin sink the winning dunk in a slam dunk contest, it got her thinking … and it gave First Tracks the opportunity to show off her creativity.
