RIP Noby

Those Nobis Inspired skis were some of the most awful skis I've ever clicked into. F they were brutally bad at everything. They felt like dead fish.

Nobis never skied them, I can guarantee you that.

Wow, this is sad.

Being the same age, and seeing those happy pictures of him as a kid, makes you realize how hard it can be for some to go from that early life of first chair, to last down the hill, no worry’s in life at all, to fucking dying on the floor of a jail cell.

Jesus getting older suck Rip NOBI

I recently befriended a guy who is/was pretty tight w a number of big names back in the day.

Apparently the family is not releasing the cause of death?

Got approached by my coworker today, his friend is on life support, 36 yrs old. Drinking 2-3 bottles of.rumplemints a day. If he some how survives I hope to be able to help him. Gnarly.

If the partying takes over, it's time to reassess.

Just seeing this now. Really odd that I was just thinking about where and how he was doing a few days ago while purging skis. We never met but my friends in PC knew him.

Whata turn he made.

This was very sad to see.

My only experience with him was at a Gordy camp in March 2011. He was great, helpful, and it was really awesome to get tips from someone I had always watched on the screen.

Nice obituary in Saturday’s Park Record. I guess there is a celebration of his life on July 22 at 2:30 at the mountain resort.

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

. 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.
