Japan Update #1

This year we decided to do another trip to Japan, this time with Brendan Keenan, Rusty Ockenden, Andrew Hardingham and Snowboard Canada photographer Jeff Paterson. Its been a wild ride so far and Clayton from Black Diamond Lodge has been helping us out big time… Yes having someone else named Clayton makes things really confusing. Here are some pics of the trip so far, stay tuned for more updates.

    Cro-Magnon…..Rusty Ockitron. Don’t worry Montner, your youngest son, and my little brother, is obviously living it up for the both of us. That being said I’m sure you have some stories that have never been shared with your loving sons.
