Nimbus Independent Ski Short Films

[Bluewing]

Here are some short films by Nimbus Independent. Some recognizable big mountain, backcountry pow skiers. They have a ton of content out there - this is just a sampling.

Alaska - big mountain skiing with a classic old school soundtrack; check out the Led Zep song synchronization with a drop in at about 1:50

Backcountry Colorado - kicking back in a cabin at 12,000 feet

Washington's best ski resorts (their words not mine)

British Columbia to Utah - more old school soundtrack; for those of you who followed the one thread talking about bindings, release mechanisms and knee injuries there is a classic injury at 8:50 on a bad landing with the skier in the backseat

Hokkaido - Japan powder skiing heaven including at night with headlamps; check out the crazy @ss skiing down snow barriers along a highway at the 20 minute mark

Arlberg, Austria - big mountain skiing

I can't believe after now going into my third season of living less than two hours from Silverton I still have not been there. I will blame it on the fact that the only skiboarder ever to visit me and ride with me here has been Brandon and that was one weekend where we hit two days at Telluride and one day at Durango (30 minutes from Silverton).

If you are going to skiboard Silverton you better take some Sherpas!

I think a possible location for Shredfest VI is your part of Colorado - you wouldn't be able to say that just Brandon has visited you...

Haha Sorry, amigo. Not for me. I ride nothing longer than Condors. I spend 50% of my time in 4' of fresh pow with Revolts. Longer than 110cm is not necessary.

Not likely. I tried making a suggestion of changing location and that was not received well. But, I would definitely love to have people out here for a meet of our own.

I'm in.

Silverton, Purgatory, Telluride and Wolf Creek. Nice rotation for a meet.

The thing about Silverton is that you have to have your avy gear and when in season for the four main months you have to pay for a guide to take you up as well. You cannot ride without a guide and have to book the group in advance. They don't allow more than sixty people total on the mountain per day.
