Pep Fujas was injured early this winter and was not able to come on our first trips of the year. Luckily he is back on his skis and ready to film for the next Nimbus webisode!
Bad Ligament damage! Almost superimposed a toe-tag, but decided against it.
Eric and Chris went to Silverton in January. This is the cabin they stayed at.

Major amateur hour with the guns. Two first timers.
Nighttime at the cabin consisted of surf and turf, fireworks, guns, and Ike’s night terrors keeping Chris and Eric awake.
Here is Chris using the outhouse one cold morning at the cabin
Eric, Erin, and Justin all traveled to Europe to meet up with Roman Rohrmoser to ski Italy and Austria in February.
We were lucky to meet the Rohrmoser family and stay in their amazing B&B. They hooked us up big time! Nice rooms, fresh homemade apple pancakes, and good snow

We had two BMW X1s to drive around for the whole month we were in Europe! These cars are amazing! They talk to you too!
Roman infront of an orange wall.
Alessandro Belluscio was our photographer for the trip. He showed us around the Alps and made us feel quite at home.
Espresso was a daily for the Nimbus crew
It was an 8hr drive from Austria to Italy. We saw lots of scenic roads through the Alps. Castles, castles everywhere! Goes pretty fast when you are driving one of these.
It took us longer than our navigation told us it would take, due to all the frantic stops to shoot scenics.
Eric and Roman filming the town of Courmayeur, Italy
We stayed at an amazing B&B in Courmayeur with views of the mountains, unique stone rooftops and fresh croissants and fruit in the morning. www.lagrange-it.com
Here is a view from our private deck at La Grange
Another view from the hotel… Looming Mt. blanc
We ate at this tiny little restaurant called Petit bistrot almost every night. The menu is amazing and the people are very hospitable! www.petitbistrot.info petitbistrot@yeur.net
Espresso at 11pm, why not?
Inside Petit Bistrot having wine with the crew
Eric Justin and Roman Took some little sleds out one night and raced down the snow covered cobble stone streets. Might have been some schnapps involved…
Eric at La Baita hotel and restaurant at the base of the Courmayeur ski lifts
They always have such great lunch and Espresso. We will be back for sure!

Going up one of the many gondolas at Courmayeur. So many epic lines to do!

Back in Austria…Wiegand filming Erin Filming Eric on the backside of Zillertal
Hiking up to the cross at Zillertal Arena… some of the best terrain around the Alps

Roman decided to climb up the Cross… I suppose the heavens did not care for this since the steel cross left him with huge bruises on his inner legs!
Eric filming Roman for the interviews
Weewolf ’s filming position… So classy
Roman hiding to throw a snowball at Eric… guilty!
