Nimbus Independent’s Compass series is a collection of three episodes from Russia, Italy, and Japan, and aim to combine the beauty of these foreign cultures, with the zen-like skiing abilities of the Nimbus crew. In the latest episode, Compass: Italy, Eric Pollard, Roman Rohrmoser, Martino Valle, and Davide Cusini explore the zones around La Grange and Courmayeur, and take in a bit of the local culture.
