“Baker Daze” will be premiering at the Mt Baker Film Festival next month. Shot in 16mm, it follows Wyatt Stasinos and myself through one of the heaviest storm cycles to hit Mt. Baker in recent years. We rented a house in Maple Falls during the 2012 season, riding the resort and its surrounding terrain every single day. This short showcases an extremely elusive first chair experience on Chair 5, as well as documents our experience of getting “stranded in heaven” at Baker for a day when the road closed to the resort. Appearances from Doran Laybourne and Forrest Burki. — Nick Russell

Filming/edit: Nick Russell and Wyatt Stasinos
