That’s a big statement but one I fancy few would call me out on.
Since then Nimbus Independent have turned their own unique brand of skiing and production in to an artform.
They do sometimes go big…
And so we come to the present.
Two years in the making, the weight of expectation was high.
Could it really be as good as all that promises?
In a word, yes.
In fact in my eyes, it sailed way past the expectations and continued off into the sunset.
But let’s clear a few things up before I wax lyrical about what was so good.
The skiing itself is not groundbreaking in the way Idea was.
It’s about the perfect lines left in the canvas of a new snowfall.
It’s about the places visited and the memories made along the journey.
The Nimbus journey has been much like the career of an artist.
Idea was the early work: raw, challenging and new.
After The Sky Falls is more polished, more fine, but born from the same DNA.
You should really go watch this now.
