Update: We camped in the snow on our first night, and Michael Brown taught the group how to build a snow cave for safe sleeping. After skinning and snowshoeing through a stunning valley on day two, students set up home base at Janet's Cabin for great food and inspiring discussions on adventure filmmaking. Highlights included Jose Campos (a student and regular B.A.S.E. jumper) strapping on a parachute to do a bit of unique airborn skiing. We also buried each other in the snow for avalanche rescue practice, and rose at sunrise for an earlybird session of skiing and shooting.

Student Testimonial:

"The best part of the film school was being able to bounce ideas off fellow students and the instructors which often led to gaining a totally different perspective on the film. " --- Jack McCowan
