Hiking with some homies

After dropping the Mon off at the airport in Reno NV, I booted back to Squaw Valley and jumped in bed.
The next day was the first day of our actual shoot for Liquids ad and our tahoe local host, Shawn Carney hooked it up.

The sun was out and Shawn had us chasing the late season POW!
We loaded up a few cars,
met up with the rest of the crew and took off for what everyone was calling the lake run. With me was photographer Tom Zikas, Philly Pilon, Lauren Shannahan, Shawn Carney and Gillaum Morrisette.

The area we were in was way cool.
You got out of the car at the mid point of the vertical and hiked across the mountain looking for your lines. when you found one you would drop it then hike back up and move on. Lucky for me Carney knew where to be looking.

cab one on the cliff.

This area is full of stuff to do, next time im around Tahoe i am for sure coming back to find more things!

the crew hiking threw one of the train tunnels, these things were awesome and a bit scary when they went pitch black.

So we finally reached out last drop point and i understood what the lake run was. We were about to take our last run right back down to our cars, epic!

I caught a couple pow slashes on the way down and we were done for the day.
Or so i thought.
