JAPAN 2011

So I was lucky enough to get back to Japan this summer for another 10 days of riding with the crew. It was Shane, Lars, Darren and his 2 mate that I had the pleasure of shredding with. As always Japan delivered the snow and we took full advantage of it. Thanks again to our good friends T-Roy and Joel for looking after us.


The mandatory Sapporo Maccas stop.


Order up Joelly..


This was Shane and my room for the 10 days. so sick


Of course the Barn had Captain Morgans Private Stock...So good

The other drink we all love from the barn is a Strawberry daiquiri....delicious

Another highlight of the trip was seeing T-Roy in his underwear every morning....


Joel Graham Breakfast of champions...


The View from out front of the boys place...pretty Epic


Sunny day shred with the crew...Yotei looking good in the background


Roy bowling up a storm on Wii


Roy putting on his smoking attire to go outside..Little red smoking Roy


Chairlift ride for all the boys...


This is a super fun run...look at the tracks. nothing but good times.


We rode some out of bounds areas which we had to hike out of. Worth every step


After a long day riding you need a big cold beer


Or a Beer TOWER...Yeah Hanazono...


Shane ready to rumble


I can not remember who won but it was piss funny to watch


Shane can not go anywhere without making friends and wearing funny hats


I think Lars might have had a little to much to drink????


We went to dinner with our good friends from the Barn and this came out near the end. Yep its Horse Sashimi... its was a little weird and very salty..


We got a Rusutsu thursday shred day in with the crew. Yep it was epic. here we are getting ready to leave


It was a big crew...18 to be exact..


Darren with some last minute adjustments before the epic day


Roy was a little tired after shredding...he loves a nap


We got in a day of catboarding which awesome fun. We did have to sign our lives away first though


Our ride for the day


My Back country mates...Nice head cams boys


Lunch stop break..Cam our guide getting the coffee ready


This was our last day shredding and Niseko was nice and gave us a bluebird day


I was super stoked Lars made the trip over..fuck he can shred


Darren is so business he was always working...


Shane is in japan so much he is pretty much a local. Well he gets locals discounts at least


2 pretty stoked men


Lars & Yotei....enough said
