thanks again for the hospitality Nick. hope i can make it back there someday soon. and i've got to believe Japan has something good coming its way...
Thanks for the tips, we're planning on the trip to Sapa, and hoping to rent some motorbikes for a few days of exploration. Just made it to Laos and feels great to be away from the main destinations in Thailand.
Planned Japan with a lot of time on here and elsewhere on the internet. You really cant go wrong, big names - Niseko/Hakuba, or lesser known spots - search for Japan on this forum. I recommend http://www.hokkaidotravel.co.jp for transit & bookings and the Hakuba Powder Lodge as well.
Thanks Mike - Final Cut Pro.
I do have the Super 7s, mounted with Fritschis. Heavy setup for touring, but the skis are amazing and worth it in my mind. And I have Dalbello Rampage boots, so again, not ideal for touring but they're my first new boots in 5 years and fit my feet right.
And thank you, i wish i could sit back with a VT brew as well. We'll do our best to keep the blog updated and entertaining.
and thanks to everyone else for the comments as well. cheers

I feel like I should have paid to watch that video. I hope your career involves film.

Nate, this is the best film I have seen in a LONG time, even if it was only 14min long. Great job.
I had plans to go to Japan this season that were cut short due to a severe injury. this really makes me want to see if Adaptive skiing is something doable. No More BC touring, but the lift terrain is really amazing over there...
have fun on your journey!

fkna!
Obviously these 5 eyes have skill and this this piece is more than just a holiday TR edit. But I'm glad for that because it was well worth watching and I now know who I'd contact if I ever needed some quality film media made up. Credit where credit is due.
Ira - sorry to hear about your injury and new mode of skiing.Life is not lift served.

This is about as far from skiing related as you can get, but i figured some of you might be interested in our second installment from SE Asia. If you have any questions about specific locations feel free to ask.
A bit shorter this time, and the last segment is my favorite. Enjoy!

Cortina trees on a sitski now that is something I would go to watch!
Nate another good video. The old company must miss your skills. Good luck with the upcoming season!

Hey obviously I'm late to the party but figured this could use a bump now that the season is coming around. I just wanted to say that stumbling onto this video late last season made me and my friends want to plan a Japan trip. I can now say that due to a bunch of internet research on places like this, such a trip is now a reality. Hitting Niseko for 10 days the last week of January with 5 friends from Mammoth, so excited to experience such an adventure.
Just one question...with your 7D, did you use any sort of mounts/rigs for stability? most notably in the tree sections

You should submit these videos to the Travel Channel or Current.tv and get a mini-series or webisode special.

That video should be sent in as a kickass documentary. That was outstanding! So cool to see such amazing video taken. The skiing, scenery, lights, mood, chilled vibe all were captured beautifully. Thanks for sharing that.
Fukiage Onsen and Tokachidake area are one of the main places I wanna go back and ski. Saw some skiers/boarders come by when in that onsen.
One of your scenes from Kyoto was taken just around the corner from where I got married FT would prolly know it.
I know its too late now, but I woulda recommended you visit Kratie, Cambodia to see the Irrawaddy dolphins. There are just a dozen or so left. I was happy to have seen them before they're extint.
Thanks again for sharing. I'll have to watch it with a beer tonight.パウダーバカ!!

awesome Nate, I spent a lot of time in Cambodia and Asia in general, Angkor is very cool spot, getting outside the park a bit got you away from the construction going on. Happy Pizzas and scooters make for a fun zip through the park. Phnom Penh is a wild place and so is battambong. Did you cross in through Poi Pet? we did it at midnight and the truck broke down, hiking through cambodian fields in the middle of the night for 3 hours was no fun.
Heading to Japan in Feb, this TR solidified the choice for me last year, hoping we get it as good as you did.

Nate, that video is outstanding. Its nice seeing this video as I havent been back to Laos, Camobodia since my first trip. Who is the artist from 7:15? The night market at Luang Prabang is pretty cool eh. Did yall start from Bangkok and then head north to Chiang Mai and then cross over from Chiang Rai? The flow of the vid feels like that. Anyways, I like the artist you used in the last seg. Really chilled. If you see this, or anybody else who knows, could you let me know who it is please? Cheers!

the song is by Jose Gonzalez, called "stay in the shade" if you like that song you'll like all his stuff. and thanks for the kind words. cheers!
