Not-sure what you saw schindler-
I found this, published in April.
there's another excellent essay - I think it is on Ig ( ONS) , I believe it is cited earlier.
I hope his friends and his family have a good celebration.
Peace, Jeremy Nobis.
( with love )

Rad. I'll buy a couple
Those look sick!!
I'll never forget that segment. McConkey in Fetish, which came I the fall before I believe, and Nobis in Harvest showed just how fast people could go on fat skis. I was in college, skiing about 25-30 days a year at that time, and it was eye opening. I wanted to try those skis, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to edge them.
That really was the turn of the century. That turn, and McConkey's straightlines, really changed everything. What is funny is that now those Dynastar BIG (and Volant Chubb) boards would be skinny....
I moved to Tahoe in the fall of 98, my first mountain winter, and I spent most of that season on Volant Powercarves, which seemed big at the time. But there were some guys in the shop who were just BLOWING by me on powder days. On April 1st of 1999 I got a pair of K2 AK Launchers, they were used and supposedly from a team rider, which officially came out the next fall. I didn't think I would get to use them, but the first two weeks of the April it just bombed snow. The 88 (as I recall) waist was a game changer, I could make 2 turns instead of 8, and I saw everything differently. I would be bombing down the Slot in deep pow and feel like I was going as fast as McConkey or Nobis. I wasn't of course, but we can all dream:D. That one turn really showed what an Olympian could do with a pair of fat skis.
Shred in peace. Spine walls to conquer and big steep faces to rip.
Ah this bump hit the memory machine. The only time I got to ski with Nobis he was at Alpental filming with Warren Miller. At first I was pissed because they had closed off terrrain for filming, but he was out skiing it when they weren't filming too because it was cold smoke that whole week and just too good not to.
Island mailing me some from across the world. Thx mag!
