Poster: A snowHead
|
This was passed over to me by my friend from Axams. I think his son was involved, but I'm not sure cos he isn't saying.
Ignore the narative, I just find the filming and the skiing really nice... my opinion!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Zero-G, yes, on second viewing the narration is ok. The filming is brilliant. Somehow stands apart from most of the ski films coming out these days. Can't usually be bothered to watch then tbh.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It certainly does. I think that's because it has a certain intimacy that may stem from being a small production (yet the production values are high and it looks pro).
Added to which, it has a lovely understated, almost humble, feel to it that you just don't see in a lot of the bigger ski movie productions these days. These guys come across as very skilled skiers who love skiing, not bro brah rock stars trying to outdo each other with the biggest line at the highest speed in the gnarliest terrain. Although they do do big lines in gnarly terrain!

Bumping this for the evening crowd – it's too good to be missed.

That was brilliant!! Some Nordkette and Axamer Lizum action there (I think Schlick2000 too), as well as Stubai and some backcountry areas - great to see the local stuff is right up there with the Himalayan and Alaskan action too! The skateboard dude lives 5 mins down the hill from me!

I've just watched this again and have to say that there are some superior skiing skills on display here! The part of the first segment from 5:53 took my breathe away (there are so many other notable parts too). Who are these guys?

Thanks for sharing... really nice.
Although the bit at 18:00...carrying on skiing same aspect while a decent sized slide is still moving next to you = a bit crazy, no?

Reply from Tim to the question does he know more:
[02/07/13] Tim: Ah, not really.
[02/07/13] Tim: But they're all from around Innsbruck and one of them is the brother of a guy I used to work with on the Olpererhut.
[02/07/13] Tim: Who should also be in their next release.
[02/07/13] Tim: But I can try to find out more if you want me to...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Innsbruck locals... At least one of them (Flo Orley) is on the FWT this year, and you must have heard of Roman Rohrmoser, he's filmed with Nimbus (Pep Fujas, Eric Pollard, et al)...

clarky999, I've heard of Flo Orley but not the others. Even though I've watched some of the Nimbus stuff, I've never really paid attention to the names. Plus, in all their ski gear, they all look alike
