Salomon’s Team Vacation rolled into Japan last winter and this edit is the result. It’s also one of the funnest edits we’ve seen in a long white, with sick riding backing up the good vibes that was clearly had by all…

We don’t know why we added an exclamation mark to Japan, by the way. It just kind of seemed appropriate. Watch this and you too will agree. Japan!

After 3 months on the road Team Vacation finally made it to Japan – and it was insane! We rode amazing snow and met even more amazing people. 

Big thank you to Taka Nakai, Rio Tahara, Teddy Koo, Masato Shibuya, and the rest of the guys for showing us an incredible time. 

Riders: Chris Carr, Louif Paradis, Chris Grenier, Taka Nakai, Scotty Arnold, Teddy Koo, Desiree Melancon, Harrison Gordon, Kohei Kudou, Ryuichi Kabeta, and Rio Tahara.

Check out some of the most creative riders in the game getting buck wild in Park City’s big ass terrain park setup. And Eurocarving. Yes!

Scott Stevens, Ted Lavoie, Chris Grenier, and Chris Carr wig out in another installment of the IRPC sneak peak series leading up to the release of the full length video on November 1st.

Salomon’s globe spanning Team Vacation pitched up in Japan for a while, and they logged enough footage to knock together 10 minutes of radness. Check it out.

Salomon’s globetrotting Team Vacation rolled into the UK last week, where the crew hit up a fridge session and got mental. Check Jed Anderson, Harrison Gordon and co. riding the domes and dryslopes, skating the streets and hoofing footballs…

This is frickin’ rad. What more can we say?

Riders: Harrison Gordon, Scotty Arnold, Chris Carr, Victor Wikberg, Jed Anderson.

Danimals, Chris Grenier, Justin Fronius, Chris Carr, Joe Sexton, and Louif Paradis spend a day snowboarding at Hyland Hills. Fun stuff for a fun Thursday.

Well we’re calling it episode 1 as we’re certain there’s gonna be more edits to drop from the Salomon and Bonfire teams’ globe spanning Team Vacation. Here’s a recap of the past month. Morrisey, bitch!

In the past month we’ve been through the Northwest, Tahoe, Stevens Pass, Socal, and Utah (with a pitstop in Las Vegas). Here’s a quick recap of a few of the stops. Stay tuned – we’ve got more edits on the way.

We’re currently headed up the east coast with Jed, Carr, CSM, Louif, Grenier, Scotty, and Harrison.

Riders in this edit: Chris Carr, Chris Grenier, Scotty Arnold, Harrison Gordon, Jonah Owen, Sawyer Dean, Keaton, and more.

More heavy summer camp action from Windells. Once again, this edit is filled to the rim with sick riding by sick riders: Euro shreds Flo Achenrainer and Toni Kerkelä meet US household names like Scotty Arnold, Bode Merrill, Sammy Spiteri and Dyland Thompson.

Bonus clip: Tons of crashing skiers from the third Windells week:

The Finns know: You need protection when fisting.

Maybe it was down to the SIA trade show in Denver that this week was a little less busy than most others. Which is not to say that there wasn’t enough awesomeness around to fill an entire day clicking yourself through these links and watching rad videos, reading cool interviews, and shaking your head at all the nonsense we found. Welcome to This Week in Snowboarding 5/2011!

SATURDAY

The SIA continued in Denver. Here are a few reports from day 2: Yobeat, TW Snow, Snowboarder Mag,The Angry Snowboarder. Torstein Horgmo lays down some sort of triple at the X Games Big Air. YKWII goes Northstar in this good edit. Yobeat’s rejected edits continue to be fun to watch.

SUNDAY

SIA goes into its third day: Yobeat, The Angry Snowboarder, Shayboarder all report from the trenches. Xavier De Le Rue gets some Euro lines in. The Runs Episode 9 shows some runs with the Griffin bros. TW Snow posts Sunday in the Park Episode 8. Mikkel Bang becomes a Frend. Kyle Mack is the next big thing. Oh, and a lot of things went down at the X Games, but we decided to post all of it on…

MONDAY

We create an extraordinarily popular X Games: All Winners, All Videos post. (and Yobeat missed them alltogether) The Helgasons release a teaser for Sexual Snowboarding, and Sandbox their Day and Age teaser. Xavier De Le Rue is out and about in Japan. Videograss release an early Shoot the Moon teaser. Heikki, Eero, Fredu and Markku ride rails in Helsinki. Nick Lipton explains why he didn’t go to SIA. MFM scores some pow. Play Dirty is a new French web thing from Salomon. Rüf, Longo and Sandbech are featured in an interesting Burn spot. Keep the Change go Elm Creek. And you have to ask yourself the question ‘If it’s not a Burton, why would I want it?‘

Noone has ever successfully ridden the Graff Er List Ledge.

TUESDAY

Mads Jonsson is an awesome guy who scores more pow than you and us combined. and Jesmond Dubeau’s full part from Hello World drops on TW Snow, and the same guys also post the Retrospect Bear Mountain montage. Club Boya have some double line fun, and Knaack & Co. have some fun wherever they are. Chas Guldemond shows the world how to do a back rodeo melon. The Critters ride Brighton. We have a lot of savage snowboard slams. Ethan Morgan pulls the smallest front 10, ever. Pleasure Mag travels to Svalbard in this clip. We pick the winners of our big-ass Artec design comp. Brandon Hobush and Johnny Castro slay some Bear feature. The second Hana Beaman P.S. webisode drops.

WEDNESDAY

The YES. crew hits the Kootenays. Jeremy Jones talks snow on ESPN’s site, Jenny Jones talks X Games on our site, and Chris Carr talks to Yobeat. Here’s the Mountain High Drive In #3. The Nike Stairset Battle went to Italy. TWSnow publish their SIA video gallery. The Nebelhorn resort gets its superpipe (link in German). Here’s some park riding extravaganza.

"Dude, quick! He's dropping in!" - "Uhm... whaaat?"

THURSDAY

We have the Working for the City teaser, and the Levitation Project team edit, and three Videograss Shoot the Moon clips (oh, and sometimes their filmers freak out). Alex Tank now rides for Clast, and it is looking good. Miikka Hast and Jonas Hagström go pow hunting. The Angry Snowboarder went trend hunting. And Torstein hates fans.

FRIDAY

The Air&Style Innsbruck is coming up, and here’s a jump check, and Jamie Nicholls warming up for it. Buoloco enter the fancy world of short web edits. For those who spent the past few years in detention ESPN explains what a Burton Stash park is. Another Canyons webisode appears here. Jamie Anderson, a lot of backlight, and some Argentina are to be seen here. Eddie Grams releases some kind of demo reel. Some crazy sumo riding goes down in Finland. And the Dope II teaser easily out-weirds Comune et al.

If you didn’t like these links you’re probably more inclined to be into wrestling. Now enjoy your weekend and see you next week!

Let’s kickstart the day with a full movie: Dump Em Out. Haven’t heard of it? Well, you surely know the crew: Forest Bailey, Dakota Whitaker, Dylan Dragotta, Chris Carr, Ted Lavoie, Matt Rabow, Mark Wilson, Johnny Brady, Nial Romanek and Dylan Bonnie! Enjoy!
