Kaslo Sourdough Adventures: A Trip to the Top of Mt. Loki
First trip in the snow for 2019, powered by Kaslo Sourdough’s Pasta Fermentata.
Introducing the Montezuma Aerial Tramline & Riding the High Wire (2016)
Our owner and sourdough pasta inventor Silvio, has a penchant for history. An avid hiker, Silvio discovered the remains of the Montezuma tram in 2015 and undertook a project to re-build the tram, salvaging the original components. This tram endured both forest fire and avalanche, and as a result had a very short lifespan in the early 1900s.
The mining company who commissioned the line went bankrupt and did not restore the tram to use after the avalanche. Silvio’s strong interest in the local history motivated him to rebuild the tram and preserve some of the story of the local landscape.
Riding the High Wire is a song co-composed and produced by Silvio in collaboration with local artist Sean Rodman (see bio below) and his band, Red Eyed Soul. It tells the story of a miner’s day of work, riding the high wire (the tram), trying to build a fortune from mining.
This video benefited from Louis Bockner’s production skills. Louis was born and raised in Argenta, BC (north of Kaslo). He has diplomas from the New York Institute of Photography and the Western Academy of Photography in professional photography, journalism, and photojournalism. He has spent several years working as a portrait and festival photographer in the West Kootenays with his business, Eye of the Mind.
The Sourdough Trilogy
These three songs were lovingly created by a combination of Sean Rodman and owner, Kaslo Sourdough Silvio Lettrari. We hope that you enjoy this story of the sourdough.
