No doubt we’ve enjoyed all of Eric Pollard’s Nimbus films, but there was something about ‘Approach’ that stands out from the rest. Maybe it was the ‘family trip’ feel to Europe or the perfectly selected music, amazing cinematography or the ridiculous powder slashes; whatever it was we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We weren’t alone either. Instead of us saying what we think, here’s our top 5 comments from Newschoolers on ‘Approach’:

So if you haven’t seen it yet, please do yourself a favor. Clear your schedule for the next 39 minutes, get comfy and enjoy the show!

While it’s loading check below from some behind-the-scenes images and descriptions with words by Erin Valverde Pollard and photos by Erin Valverde Pollard, Justin Wiegand, Eric Pollard, Ike Smith & Chris Benchetler.

Eric and Chris went to Silverton in January. This is the cabin they stayed at. http://www.treasuremountainhut.com

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.

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! http://www.rohrmoser.biz

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!

Espresso was a daily for the Nimbus crew.

It was an eight-hour 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.

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. http://www.lagrange-it.com

Here is a view from our private deck at La Grange.

We ate at this tiny little restaurant called Petit Bistrot almost every night. The menu is amazing and the people are very hospitable! http://www.petitbistrot.info

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! http://www.labaitahotel.com

Inside La Baita, Alo our photographer had a gallery of his photos. A lot of them were from the last trip we went on to Italy. Here is Eric posing by one of the photos of him.
