Well I realized I owe it to SJF to post up some stuff that's been going on with my stay in Japan. Since everyone has been super kind (even Rob) to give me info and help along planning my trip here is everything I have so far worth sharing. The video I put together is pretty bad but as I have been saying I am waiting for footage from another camera so I can make it much more interesting with multiple angles. This is a video JUST for SJF so feel special.

Here it is:



I am going to get some footage from the Arc'teryx team that has been in Niseko for the past week. Erik Hjorleifson and Jonaven Moore have been shredding around here and they are some awesome guys to ride with. Both very easy going and the whole crew has been a treat. I got to sneak a few hits in here and there and will grab the video from their camera guys soon

Some photos from our avalanche barrier session

Photos courtousey: Simon Ramsey

Clayton gets up close and personal with the snow



Me doing a flat 3 off the barrier



Mattias does a front flip



Also had the fortune to meet Stu "Sand" who should have some good go pro footage. Slippery Jim, who is another really cool guy with a lot of knowledge about pizza! Jenny and I am not sure if her boyfriend Kenji is on here, but they are 2 awesome people worth more than taking a few runs with.

WWWhhhhhoooaaaaaa

[MitchPee]

Thanks guys I am still withholding other stuff too! Should be good!

Amazing stuff! How on earth do you get so good on a pair of skis?! Im hoping to get enough courage up to attempt a 360 this season, but doing flips and and so on is something I can only dream about!!

[Jynxx]

No problem, it can be done.
The old skydiving saying applies here too. The sky is not the limit, the ground is. (or the sky is the limit until you hit the ground)
Any landing is good when you can walk (ski/board) away.

[SJ-David]

Very nice Mitch.
Hope to see lots more.

[muikabochi]

Nice. Wish I could ski like that.

I want more pics!

You mean you can't do all that Gary?!

Nice vid and pics Mitch.

[Gary]

I cant do ANY of that!!!

[Chriselle]

Mitch, I love your videos. They make my old knees hurt just watching though..

What skiis are you using if you don't mind me asking?

[pie-eater]

If you eat more pies, you can get to be like that

[Gary]

Pies eh? Cant really get good pies so often in Japan...maybe that's where I've been going wrong!!
The skis look like Atomic Bent Chetler's.

[stemik]

Well done Mitch. You seem to be settled in and really enjoying yourself.
