@@mountainswell Yes, love Japan, coming back in Jan to go to Zao, Appi & Aomori Springs. Hoping el nino doesn't have too much of a negative effect. Would love to see an episode from Aomori Springs if you get up that way! Cheers and have a great season, -Andy
@@AndyLancaster777ah Zao and Appi 🤩 great choices! I will be back at Zao this January on a shoot. Absolutely love it there. Yeh I never been Aomori springs but def will check it out. This season plan on exploring way more resorts and continue on with the series. Improving the filmmaking process along the way… Let’s see if we cross paths 🤙
@@mountainswell that's awesome! I will be in Zao with my family Jan 12-19, we all watch your channel so we'd love to say G'day if you're there at the same time. You and the lads always give us a few laughs as well as some great insight into the different resorts that you visit. I'm also looking at buying some Montec gear, and see that you and the team all used it through the series - would you recommend it? Any downside? It looks fantastic :) Cheers, -Andy
Ah nice one! Yeh I will def be there at some point but not sure on exact dates. I start to get photo bookings from now on until winter so that’s when I start looking at my schedule and figuring out our route. Yeh I been wearing Montec since 2019 and never had a problem with their gear. Maybe I should make a review video 🤔 climbing the RUclips ladder 😂 For me I love the arch model as more baggy but also the fawk are super cool. This years new designs aren’t that cool but still have some good selections. Hope the snow monsters are good for you guys in January 🤙
Yeh the great thing about Sugi is that any day is just awesome. Powder is offcourse a bonus but on a real powder day would head over to a wee resort on the other side and get the steeps
Don't know how I missed this one! So fun guys, loved it. Wicked party shred, Sugi is such a rad resort. Also really liked the trip recap at the end! As for my favourite resort of the trip, I think I'd have to agree with Hiroma san and go with Geto Kogen. Good times.. Also Appi turned into a banger spot in terms of terrain, we just discovered the goods too late in the day, haha. And Teine tops the list for places I want to go back for. Thanks for the memories and such an all-time trip boys. Can't wait to do it again with you guys, even if it is not for a season or 2. ❤ ありがとうございました 🙏
Yeh our last wee upload of the trip. By this time we was pretty exhausted from riding nearly everyday in Hokkaido so was super fun having a last day in the sun and at Suginohara. Yes we are always here for when you come back and def will keep a spcae at Teine for you. Im looking forward to a night party ride episode this year at Zao 🤙
Get yourself a Chinese diesel heater ... Got one for the bus back in the UK and they work great. I'm a Brit also working in Japan (Akita) ... Looking forward to seeing what you produce this winter. Suffice to say I will be checking out Sapporo, Aomori and Akita powder 🤙
Cheers Paul! Exactly what my next purchase is 😊 if you got any tips of installing one or which one to buy of Amazon would be much appreciated. I looked at 2kw and will hook up to my portable battery. Thinking about installing the heater body at the foot step of the Hiace on side door. I will be buying one when I’m back in 2 weeks and will make a video of it 🤙 Ah nice, we might make it up to that area again. Loved it up there
@@mountainswell just seen you messaged me on insta. Heading back to the UK on Friday so will send you some details of what I have installed. Can't wait to come back out here in Feb 👍
@@paulsanderson8335 yeh sweet! Yeh looking forward to seeing some pics 🤙 Ah nice February should be a good time to come back. Was 30 degrees where I live today 😯 not sure what happened to autumn?
Thanks guys - loved the whole series! Getting me stoked for the upcoming Japan season :)
Cheers man! Love to hear it. You will come to Japan this season? We cant wait to start filming season 2. New ideas and new adventures 🤙

Thanks for promoting Suginohara !

Awesome series! You guys deserve way more subs...!

Looks like a super fun resort! I can only imagine how dope it is on a pow day but hard to complain a warmer bluebird sunny day
