Sean Pettit throws down at the 2011 Red Bull Linecatcher competition in Vars, France. The young Canadian never lost his top spot in the field but that did not stop Italy’s Markus Eder or Bend Oregon’s Tim Durtschi from gunning for him (we do not promote skier on skier violence) throughout the competition. While most skiers were taking the first run easy Pettit and Durtschi stepped on the gas. Skiersrealm will post video footage when it is available so check back soon.

A Thank You from Eric Pollard and the rest of the Nimbus Independent crew for all the support from its fans over the last 3 years.

If you haven’t heard by now, Mammoth got pounded with more snow in a few days than most of us will ever know. Lucky for us less fortunate, modern technology has made it easy to live vicariously through those blessed with the ability to ski in the best snow on earth. Such as Chris Benchetler and Kristi Leskinen.

More pow to make you drool. If only your life was filled with such amazingness! Damn you Chris Benchetler. DAMN YOU!!

Skier: Dylan Hood Photo: Peter Morning

The Nimbus crew heads south for the winter and sure enough they find it. With a solid group of skiers and a couple Go Pro Cameras these guys are going to have some rad edits available for viewing soon. Photographer Peter Morning has also joined the boys to get some still pics. With a projected storm total at Mammoth of over 10 feet it shouldn’t be hard to get some amazing shots in the deep deep pow.

Something to mention is the fact that two new faces have joined the crew in Cali. Christian Sirianni is originally from Australia but has moved his residence to Mammoth with a mission to slay. Sharing a love of the K2 Hellbent Skis with Andy Mahre should help him fit right in. The other new face is that of Volkl Team Skier, Dylan Hood. Dylan moved to Oregon a couple years ago and was able to connect with Eric Pollard since they both ski Mt. Hood Meadows. After filming with Teton Gravity Research for the past couple years it will be awesome to see his skills pasted to the creative forefront that only Nimbus can deliver. Keep an eye out for Dylan Hood’s new website that is coming soon. Also check NimbusIndependent.com and ChrisBenchetler.com for new edits as they are become available.

You know winter is coming when the Warren Miller film makes it’s way through your town. I don’t know about you but I am starting to get that feeling. Watch this trailer and try not to picture yourself pushing through waist deep pow. Yeah, thats what I thought. Stoked for Warren Miller to roll through Portland Oregon this year.
