It was cool to get the December issue of Freeskier in the mail recently. Look for it to hit newsstands in the next couple weeks. Props to Freeskier for taking a chance on their cover.

Sometime late in the summer, publisher Christopher Jerard had the idea to do an artistic cover painted by Eric Pollard. Within the publication would be a story on our film company written by Pep Fujas (edited by me and Freeskiers Matt Harvey). Pollard took a Chris O'Connell action image of himself and painted it, which as you can see from above turned out really well.

The back cover was another painting from Pollard for Dragon, featuring the Nimbus co-op goggle. Sponsors then ran creative of athletes featured in Nimbus, and in some instances did some co-branding. Nimbus ended up on the front/back cover, cover two/page three spread, an ad for our film Contrast, multiple sponsor ads, plus the story made it an issue I'll keep for the rest of my life.

Not sure how long Freeskier will have the story posted online, but if you want to check it out, click here.
