New client. New snow. New video.

First Tracks Productions recently signed on to produce videos for LTVA (Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority) and Tahoe South. Our partnership was clearly what Tahoe needed as soon after, we got our first major storm of the season. Ok, so maybe we can’t take credit for the snow, but we did put together this video to let everyone know about it…Check it out:

South Shore Bikes shop promo

South Shore Bikes is a family-run bike shop in South Lake Tahoe, California that has been taking care of locals and visitors for over 20 years. The owners and employees are in to riding. Seriously in to riding. First Tracks took a camera to the shop and then out on the dirt and road so you can see what South Shore Bikes is all about…Check it out:

Melting snow isn’t all that bad…

…if you’re a kayaker. First Tracks Productions caught up with Scotty Sady at the Truckee River Whitewater Park in Reno, Nevada recently. While most people were relaxing along-side the river, or floating down it on tubes, Scott and a couple of buddies took advantage of one of spots in the park and got creative out there. Check out the video below…and also, check out Scott’s website – he’s even a better photographer than he is a kayaker.

Keeping Up With the All-Women Sports Camp

First Tracks spent a beautiful August weekend at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort with the All-Women Sports Camp. This was a cool event — participants could stand-up paddle, take part in an open-water swim, go for a mountain bike ride with world champion Marla Streb, road bike above Donner Lake, or compete in a mountain run up Northstar. They could also select from a host of great classes and seminars. Wow.

Capturing all that activity wasn’t easy. See for yourself; the 4-minute trailer is below, and here’s the 1-minute version.
