Return of the Nina DVD - Right on Brother Productions In the winter of 98/'99, during the La Nina storm cycle, the Mt. Baker Ski Area received just less than 100 feet of snow. At a total of 1140 inches, this was the most snow ever recorded in one year, anywhere!
Seven years later, following a season of drought brought on by El Nino, the opposite storm system, La Nina returned to Mt. Baker and set a new record: The most snowfall ever recorded in one month!
Right On Brother s Return of the Nina begins with the world record season and follows various local athletes (skiers, snowboarders, and telemarkers) as they progress over the next seven years. Characterizations of these athletes, Mt. Baker, and La Nina will tell the story from a catastrophic avalanche in 99 to La Nina s triumphant return in 2006. The film concludes with 16mm footage from 06- 07, and sets up for next year, which is said to be another La Nina season and may see even more snow-fall than 98/ 99.
