It’s raining dirt! Here’s how they did it

We ran a story on the original ‘brown pow’ clip from the fantastic UnReal film a few weeks ago.

Perhaps, like us, you’ve been wondering how the film makers covered some of Whistler’s best-known trails with inches of soft, brown dirt… Well, here’s the ‘Behind the scenes vid’ for you.

 

Incidentally, according to a friend of ours who’s a Whistler trail builder, the trails that were covered in the ‘brown pow’ were subject to an unusually high proportion of black bear sightings and encounters. So if you don’t want bears in the garden, then don’t use what they did. 🙂
