The crew just finished up a few sunny days in the good ol' mammoth b.c. The wind unfortunately hit most of the fresh snow pretty hard, but we've been on the hunt and making it work.

The rest of the crew will most likely stick it out here in cali, but I am off to Austria with Sirianni to go meet with Atomic as well as shred with a new Nimbus addition, Bene Mayr. I will keep you posted with pics, etc...

Cheers!

Good luck ever finding Mammoth again. It's been snowing more the last few days than I think I've ever seen. Nimbus is still here trying to get mad footy for your viewing pleasure, so make sure to check out the Nimbus site soon for a whole lot of GoPro edits. Here are some more brilliant pics from Peter Morning in the mean time.

Thanks for stopping by powdy cakes...

Dumping in Mammoth

I'm sure any of you who live in or around the west coast have heard of and are experiencing the storm cycles that are rolling through at the moment. Fortunately for me, Mammoth is right in the heart of it all, and is expected to receive 10-12 feet in storm total. So, the good Ol' Nimbus crew came out here to make sure all snow falls accordingly, and turns are placed in necessary pockets... We had our first day today and recorded some fun filled footage that will be available for your viewing pleasure soon on www.nimbusindependent.com. For now please enjoy these pics from friend and photographer Peter Morning.

Spectating.

Winter Storm Warning

Nimbus is here in Mammoth and the snow is starting to fall heavily, so the plan will be to ski some stormy days, play Wii Nintendo, and wait for the sun to pop. "Because when the sun pops... It's on."

I'll keep you posted.

Nimbus En Route Underway

After our lack of success in Whistler we decide to try our luck back here in Cali. Sure enough filming didn't get any easier. On the plus side we have sun, but it's very low tide due to a humongous lack of snow. Fortunately, forecasters are claiming 8-12 feet of snow starting next week. And last time I checked, that is plenty of snow to go skiing in. So, we are going to wait it out and see what we can scramble together. As always we are hoping for the best, and make sure to check out www.nimbusindependent.com soon because we will be uploading countless GoPro helmet cam edits. Happy Shredding!! Over and out... C. Benchetler.

Firstly, very sorry for no posts lately. We have been working hard revamping Nimbus to bring you more frequent videos.

As of late, I went to Whistler, sat in the rain, hung out with the Nimbus boys again, and already drove back home. We will have videos up soon. I'll keep you posted.
