His films always had silly stuff, but my favorite pieces of his films were the 'slice of life' looks into various people's lives surrounding the ski industry, for example following ski patrol's day-to-day, or even going to foreign countries to document ski culture in, say, Almaty, Kazakstan. I particularly loved this scene from Snowriders II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq7Meb_pmMM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq7Meb_pmMM Important to recall that this was released in 1997, so probably filmed in 1996, and initiated in 1994-5, so its a look into a post-USSR culture a mere 5 yrs after the dissolution of the USSR.
