TR: 2019 Hokkaido Car Danchi Food Porn Tour

Wow! I should visit the TR forum more often.

Awesome trip WDG! Thanks for sharing. Did you bring two boards? Split and resort ride?

And...calling yourself an "intermediate"! :confused: I think you were around pro's too much at the village man. You most certainly are not an intermediate rider! The vids or faceshot after faceshot...damn!

Yeah, I brought my 157 Weston Backwoods splitboard, which i rode a slight majority of the time since it was a little damper for riding chop at speed, and my 147 Elevated Goldfish swallowtail board, which was a blast to ride at Teine. I think many Japanese ride bigger boards than 'Muricans typically would to carry speed over some of the benchy and/or flatter terrain.

Thanks for the props, though :). Although I cut all the footage of me falling over at the bottom of almost every run or ski track out of the woods. Spent a lot of times on my hands and knees crawling out of waist-deep flats cuz I still suck at coming to a stop/planning for flat sections. Just give me an open fall line and I'm Jeremy Jones, though :fm:

Kudos to my guides who insisted we go to a second hospital with an MRI even though it was a big inconvenience for the rest of the group.

Damn! Awesome case for having a guide. Glad you got it properly diagnosed!

fuckyeah!

Wow, my desire to ski Japan just went up several factors.

Damn just saw this! If you're talking to a stranger from the internet over the phone one night and he asks if he can crash in your van for a few days in Japan, do it!

I was in that van for 3 months and those first few days with Dunfee were some of the best days all winter. cheers hombre!

Good post! Thanks!

Bump because Japan season is nigh, this TR is awesome and I missed it the first time.
