The first segment of the commercial to be shot was scheduled for the summit of Mt. Rexford, I believe in order to have the rugged beauty of Mt. Slesse (the Matterhorn of the Coast Range), in the background. So we got in the limo and drove up the logging roads to the trailhead, located outside Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley. Most of the production crew were not with us on this prep day, as they were organizing the helicopter filming, and probably trying to come up with a story board. They were not mountain savvy, and appreciated our advice and help now that we had moved into the mountains.
