Words by Dave Baillargeon

We live in a region with 300 foot hills [landfills, holes in the ground] covered primarily in man-made ice. With an average annual snowfall that wouldn’t even be sufficient to fill our base, 3 inches is a “powder day” and much more than that makes our tiny hills too slow to even ride. Our parks are limited by our short runs and shortsighted management. With our lack of mountains, snow, and adequate parks, Minnesota should be a terrible state to be a skier.

Nice is a collaborative effort between three veteran local film crews: Fresh Productions, CPM Films and Parimaj Media. Featuring only Minnesota skiers, locations, and music, Nice aims to show the world that it doesn’t matter what you ski or where you ski, it’s what you do with it.

Slated for a fall release, Nice will be premiered locally, and for non-Minnesotans, be available online for free. Limited quantities of DVD’s will be available chocked with bonus features.

Hate all you want on the Midwest, we don’t care, we’re Minnesota Nice.
