Boreal’s 2^nd Annual Team Video Challenge

The week-long filming session for the Team Video Challenge (TVC) ended on November 22^nd.  That’s when thirteen teams feverishly went to work editing their master pieces.  Given 72 hours to complete the task, each team produced an edit with the hopes of taking home a piece of the $2,500 cash prize purse.

On Friday, December 3^rd, Boreal hosted the TVC viewing party up on Donner Summit.  All the videos were projected onto a massive screen and the public was given an opportunity to vote for their favorite.  The public vote was 1/5 of the overall score.  In the end it was the deciding factor, shaking up positions and revealing a winner by a one-point margin.

bHappy Films walked home with top-honors and $2,000 cash in their pockets  for documenting the epic 5-mile journey from Truckee to Boreal.  Team Gremlinz took the last minute lead in the most views category, earning $500 for their efforts.  Awards were also handed out for Best Rider, Best Female and Best Skier in the form of a private photo/film session for the winning crew.  Best Rider went to Niko Cioffi, Best Female went to Laurie Currier and Andy McDowell earned the Best Skier award.

After seeing TVC videos all over the web, GoPro® contacted Boreal offering to give a full factory sponsorship to the team winning “Best Production”.  In the end Team Surface Skis will get fully-dialed thanks to GoPro®.

All the videos from the 2^nd Annual TVC can be viewed on BorealTerrainPark.com.  A big thanks goes out to all the filmers, editors and athletes that made this event possible.

TVC dates for filming have been set for 11/15 / 11/22.  There are still spots left if you want to enter into the lottery.  Lotto tickets can be purchased for $5 each.  The final date for the lotto has been moved back to 11/13/10 at 4pm. Purchase your lotto tickets today.

The terrain park crew is working all-day to get the mountain ready.  Below is a photo of some of the features we are planning to get onto the mountain and plus a few more if everything goes to plan.

In case you did not hear…

In addition to the Nugget Chair which will open at 9am Friday, Castle Peak Quad will be opening Friday afternoon at 4pm and run until 8pm Friday night, continuing throughout the weekend from 9am to 4pm.  Friday’s temperatures are forecasted to reach the high 40’s and we want the snow to be fresh all weekend, hence the afternoon opening of Castle Peak on Friday.  Look for snow in the forecast Saturday morning and a clear day Sunday.

See you tomorrow.  Happy shredding on our opening weekend.

The snowmaking conditions were prime for laying down snow on the mountain.  Cranked up snowmaking at 6pm and went full-force until about 10am.  Looking real good for a Friday opening with at least Nugget chair and a terrain park.

Continuing with our commitment to high powered and fully automated snowmaking, Continue Reading
