"Ski Movies Are Boring!" - Taking notes from Nikolai Schirmer

The internet is drowning in epic action sports footage these days, and with the bar to pro-grade production tools dramatically lowered by drone and camera manufacturers, anyone can create skiing footage that in the past was reserved to major production companies. So how does one keep the audience interested, when there's so much content out there? We joined Nikolai Schirmer, Youtube's fastest growing ski movie star, to try to figure out his secret to success. It may, or may not, have something to do with hobbits, dragons, and volcanoes. Are you not entertained?
