Mugen: Vast and endless. This applies to the culture, people, incredible food, terrain, sense of stoke, and of course, the seemingly infinite snowfall of Japan's Northern island. Despite the finite time slot in this land, the dream-like feeling of permanence permeated every turn and bite. Full-on flavor. Of course, these moments don't last forever. But sometimes, you really feel they should, or even could. Getting lost in these ephemeral moments is what we live for.

Full edit dropping in the next couple weeks.

This isn't the hottest segment of the 14-15 season. It's not full of doubles or die-hard (or try-hard) urban. There are no pucker-inducing backcountry lines or jaw-dropping scenery shots. All you'll see are some fun moments on the hill. Here's hoping for more to come.
Thanks to Rossignol and Monster Army.

Spent all day building the jump, and only got 3 hits on it before the lift closed. Totally worth it for some man-made pillow hits on my new Rossi Sickles. Self-filmed on an HTC Droid Incredible 4G (for lack of a better camera)

A free room at the base of the resort is all the incentive we need to hop in the Shredburban and head to J-Hole. Waffles, Corbet's, fireworks, ice cream, Indian stores, and general shenanigans. Music: Easy Eats or Dirty Doctor Galapagos--Man Man Black Mission Goggles--Man Man
