WHEN PLANNING ANY SNOWBOARD TRIP ABROAD THERE ARE ALWAYS SO MANY UNKNOWN ASPECTS OF THE TRIP PLANNING TO CONSIDER BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGER AND DROPPING IN ON BOOKING FLIGHTS.. WHERE TO GO? HOW TO GET AROUND? WHERE TO STAY? BEST TIME TO GO? AND SO ON..
When the planning involves a top notch motivated crew to film and pretty much banking on “epic” conditions with good spots to hit a specific timeframe alotted.. the pressure is on and hits quick.. Having great connections and local knowledge of the location you want to go can make or break the adventure and are worth their weight in gold. Lucky for us,Arthur Longo, Torgeir Bergrem Pat Moore, Olivier Gittler and more set our sights on Japan for early January, we dialied up our deeply rooted Volcom Japan crew consisting of riders Ruiki Masuda Takaharu, il fotografo Nakai Tsutomu Nakata e Yoshiaki Goose Masuda to join in and put the trip in motion.
