Grand Hirafu at Niseko in Japan has the best night skiing in the world. We shredded pow all day watched the sun set and then skied pow all night. Can't ask for more than that.

This is a section from En Route Nomads. Chris Benchetler and Anthony Boronowski and John Jackson take a zone in British Columbia apart at the seems. Benchetler sacked up and hit the feature he broke his collar bone on in 2008. Not bad Chris, not bad at all.

Nimbus School is a section from our DVD release Hunting Yeti. It's always a challenge to re-edit footage that you have already used and make it into something new. Combining ski visuals with political undertones and setting the edit to Supertramp's "School" completely changed the pace and overall tone of this piece. It's always fun to play with different formats and come up with a new approach to editing footage. We shot all the portraits of average skiers in Oregon. Skiers from all wal...

Planet Nimbus is a section from our third webisode. We camped out on Mt. Hood at 9,000 ft and built a QP. Super fun session with Garrett Russell, Pep Fujas, Chris Benchetler, Eric Pollard. Really good times.

Sammy Carlson slays hood in this section. Eric Pollard and Andy Mahre have some good shots as well. Timberline Backcountry is a section from En Route Plan B

Live Fire is a section from En Route Departure. So much fun to shoot. We filmed this after a huge snow storm cleared out of Mammoth. We drove to Nevada and did some sled access at a United States Marine Corps Mountain Warefare Training Facility. Pretty much full on military zone, we could hear gun fire going off in the background as we were skiing. Crazy snow-tanks and troops on skis. Skiing was great. I'm going back for sure.

November 2008 was a great month. Super low temps and a ton of precipitation made for light snow at low elevations. We shot our first ever Nimbus movie at our two local resorts; Mt. Hood Ski Bowl and Mt. Hood Meadows in Oregon. We only skied and shot a few nights, passing the camera back and forth between Eric Pollard, Pep Fujas, Justin Wiegand and Ike Smith. Had a great time slashing, buttering and hitting little lift line airs with enough light to see. Sammy Carlson, Dylan Hood, and Er...
