If you’ve been avoiding that Japan trip, don’t watch this

Our friend Charlie Cazalet from Verbier just sent over this moody clip of his trip to Japan last year, and it’s too good not to share.

For many ski visitors to Japan, the experience can be a hectic one, crowding the lift lines in Niseko or Hakuba along with a thousand other Europeans and North Americans on the same trip.

Charlie Cazalet’s emotion-provoking cut from his trip with Ruben Principe shows us a different side of the Japan experience—the side you get to see when you rent an RV, get off the beaten path and earn your turns.

Whatever you do, don’t watch this clip if you’ve been trying to resist the temptation to buy flights to Japan this winter.
