Caldor by Josh Daiek

The summer of 2021 turned California into an inferno. Years of relentless drought culminated in the largest wildfires in the state's history. The Caldor Fire ravaged the Sierra Nevada, destroying homes, ski resorts, and everything in its path. As the fire closed in on Lake Tahoe, professional skier Josh Daiek and the local community were forced to abandon their homes and possessions. No one could have foreseen the extent of the destruction or the profound impact the fire would have on their lives. A year later, just as the community began to recover, tragedy struck again, leaving Josh to grapple with renewed loss and uncertainty. This film delves into the heartache of saying goodbye to your home, cherished friends, and the beloved forest that served as your playground.

It features big mountain riding and dives into the thrill of type two fun—those intense moments when you question your sanity, only to laugh about it afterward.
