Garrett Capel & Peak Performance - Nuance

Nuance is a skiing video designed to explore and showcase the small, subtle aspects that exist in the sport of skiing. After facing a difficult period due to a badly broken leg a few winters ago, Peak Performance athlete Garrett Capel decided to look deeper into skiing and focus on the elements that truly make him passionate about being a skier.

Separated into two acts, Nuance highlights these elements.

In Act 1, the film showcases the power of friendship in skiing—the feeling of having all your friends in one place, generating a collective energy; the satisfaction of a high-five; the funniest things anyone’s ever said; and the sunset at the end of the day, when everyone’s spirits are high, and you can’t stop smiling. These are the moments that matter and should never be forgotten.

In Act 2, the focus shifts to the design elements of our environment: the texture of the snow after a wind event, the way the sun reflects off the snow as you carve through it, the vast scale of the mountains you play in, and all the other details we often overlook.

We hope you enjoy Nuance.
