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.
