This was a good ski movie. Great skiing, fantastic shots, good music and an all-around good vibe. I love the idea of five webisodes with a "full-length" movie at the end, and I can't wait for the next one to premiere.
That being said. I am disappointed. The previews promised a new type of ski movie: one that truly documents what it's like to go out every day and ski with a few friends. Hunting Yeti is no different from any other ski movie I've seen. This is not a bad thing, as the current model for making ski movies continues to produce entertaining, high quality films. When a company goes out with the sole purpose of doing something different, however, and returns with the status quo, they have failed. I don't know what it would take to accomplish Nimbus' goals. Obviously they can't film the skiers' conversations on the lifts and still have an entertaining movie, but the methods they used in creating their movie, which was supposed to stand out from the rest, were not unique. From what I saw in the earlier preview, the contributors to Hunting Yeti wanted to redefine what a ski movie could be. They did not.
