Filming in QC while working full time isn’t exactly what I would consider an easy thing.
Last
week end, I chatted a bunch on Friday with my boy L-C from NSF to shoot
some jumps during the week end. Weather was supposed to be really good
on saturday and shitty on Sunday but due to schedule conflicts we had
to go film on Sunday.
I went skiing by myself on Saturday with
my new park skis (170 night trains) and had a blast spinning a bunch to
the left and doing as many presses variation that I would think off. I
was so excited for the little shoot we planned that I went to bed early
to make sure everything was going to be A ok for Sunday.
Next
morning, I wake up within a room with basically no light at all. Full
on EC grey ski in Trois-Rivières. I call L-C to learn that it’s pretty
sunny in Montreal so I pack my stuff and get on the road. After a 2
hours drive under shitty driving condition I arrive to Mt St-Bruno to
see a maxed out parking lot and some small jumps with flat landings. After
paying for ANOTHER park pass (having to buy one every time you got to a
new hill is pretty boring), I set out on a mission to have some fun on
the jumps. Here is what L_C captured once we met with Etienne who was
skiing for the first time in a year. I felt like I was skiing better
before we started filming (CLAIM) but yea, it was fun to shred in the
clouds and not being able to see the jumps from the in run for the last
couple laps.
In the end, I had fun skiing with friends in
the fog and managed to hurt my knees on the flat landing and thinking I
could land sideway and not get hurt.
