try the nimbus site? or maybe check line or k2 or atomic or anyone who sponsors them. or maybe there facebook.

nimbus butters are hard to do. I tried while i was in CO and didn't do well.

For some people it is easy, but others don't really know how to throw their weight to properly butter. It's easy for me, but my friends have a tough time doing it. Also, its kind scary doing it fast, because I am neve sure if I might catch an edge.

also some people don't have powder haha. last week was the deepest snow i've ever skied in and on top of that i was using skis i've never used before. figured i give it a try and only got the nose part and just couldn't  pull it around. i can do it at home on no snow with my skis. but it doesn't look as cool as a of the  nimbus guys. oh well there's always next year.

Are you talking about the butters nimbus does or just regular butters? Because they are not the same, and there's not really a chance of catching an edge.

But can we get back to the point of the thread? Any pictures?

Well, Nimbus butters have more pop. They bring it to the nose, then it seems like they pop to bring the rest of it around. I was talking more about butters in the park off of knuckles and stuff, that just needs some weight to the tips and throwing your hips. I just catch my skis sometimes because I don't thing I bring my tails up high enough and I get all frizzle frazzled as the Cos liked to say.

This took me a couple of hours to find, but got it. Sorry it's not the best picture, but I hope it'll do.

i've been calling them nimbus butters since i first saw them. it's the ones you see pep chris and eric and all them doing. just normal ones are hard enough but that picture a few posts above is insane. i'm convinced they can do it off anything

This. A "nimbus butter" is more or less a 180 to nose heavy landing to revert. Hate on if you want but its true.
They look amazing but they are not especially hard.

Its almost a little like a cork 3 cuz they pop back up not just a revert.

and by "unless your a pussy" i dont mean to sound arrogant, i mean if you fully commit to doing one and theres like at least 6 inches of pow (preferable more) your going to land it guaranteed.

im not sure if fat skis are a crucial variable because ive never tried it on anything that has less than a 140mm shovel.
