When you are up in the North Island of Japan, there is no telling what
the weather might bring. We landed at our final destination smack dab
in the middle of nowhere. We met up with Pat Moore, Zach Leach and
Heikki Sorsa in the airport and our crew was complete. From around the world, the crew had gathered in the tiny island nation of Japan for a trip that only Red Bull could pull off. We are chasing the world’s best snow all over Japan until we have had our fill. Chuck Olbery from Hokkaido Powder Guides met us with our transportation and we were off. The sky was dark and the snow was puking. We had about 2 hours until we reached out lodge, which was nestled at the end of a road halfway up a volcano.
Foggy morning in LA, the kind of morning that makes everyone late. Late
for work, for coffee. The thick mists from the east were already
greeting us blanketing the coast with soup. Flight time was set for 11am a non-stop LA to Tokyo and the crew was already looking like the weather was taking them down. Canceled flights, delays, mechanical problems and then traffic.
It was going to be tight Shaun was on his was from LA and the Cabby was told to get him there...
