Meet Nimbus Independent
by Daniel Clark If you haven’t already heard of Nimbus Independent then you’re about to discover some real golden snow, and I’m talking about the good kind. Watch the video above for a glimpse into their world! “En Route, Hoikkado”, Japan.
The Nimbus ski crew, Eric Pollard, Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre and Chris Benchetler and film crew, Justin Wiegand and Ike Smith, enjoyed two weeks in the remarkable Hokkaido, Japan, last winter. This was the first webisode of their winter series of top class ski movies. Their work brings a real refreshing angle to the world of ski movies. They shredded through the backcountry, skied perfect lines through powder trees and drank cold beer self-served by a machine. Despite a broken collarbone for Benchetler, I think you’ll agree, it looks like a very successful trip. Nimbus will be releasing two more “En Route” webisodes as well as shorter “Point and Shoot” edits throughout the course of the season. Look out for “En Route: Arlberg” on November 5th. Gather your friends, get your skis and cameras out and have a go at the Nimbus lifestyle for yourself. Make your very own ski movie this season at Ski Week. |
