People like Eric Pollard and Mike Douglas first put Japan on the map for me as a skiing destination; now, I got my chance to put Japan on the map for someone else. Freeskier Magazine asked me to give them a hand with a "guide to skiing Japan" for their 2018 Resort Guide, since I've spent quite a bit of time there the past few winters and I love to nerd out on travel advice. I tried my best to give an overall look at a frankly inscrutable place, while not giving away too many secrets that people are going to get mad at me about.

The first-ever B&E Inventational, a collaborative effort between Henrik Harlaut, Phil Casabon, Raf Regazzoni, Eric Iberg and Les Arcs, France went down this April and I was lucky to be on hand. B-Dog and E-Dollo invited some of the styliest riders around the planet including legends like Liam Downey and Dave Crichton to ski their one-of-a-kind course.

My friend Kevin Perron of Treefort Lifestyles mentioned to me that he would be heading to Slovenia with Ahmet Dadali for his "Flip The Script" project, and their travel dates happened to line up perfectly with mine. Their crew was willing to bring me on board, so a few days after getting back to Munich from Sochi I jumped on a bus for Ljubjana. For the past week or so we've been hitting up some urban features up in northwestern Slovenia, close to the Austrian and Italian borders,...

I just published a story on Newschoolers.com about a cross-country road trip that I took this fall with skiers Andy Parry and Will Wesson in their iconic Traveling Circus van. You can find the story here: http://www.newschoolers.com/readnews/43733.0/Sights-and-Smells-of-the-Traveling-Circus-Van We drove from Seattle, Washington to Montreal, Quebec, making a number of stops along the way including Yellowstone National Park, the Denver Premiere of Level 1 Production's Partly Cloudy film, and Andy and Will's hometown of Victor, New York. All in all it was a fantastic trip and a great chance...
