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.

Unleash The Lens is back for 2012 so we’ll be loading up the van and blasting around the
UK during November and December to bring you two sweet snowboard movies on a double
screening bill. This year we have teamed up with YES. It’s A Movie Too and Team Vacation
from Salomon Snowboards and Bonfire.

In Team Vacation the Salomon and Bonfire crew load up a camper van and tour the US,
Europe and Japan. Jed Anderson, Chris Grenier, Bode Merrill, Scotty Arnold, Louif Paradis
plus a whole host of the Salomon Snowboard and Bonfire team hit up a tonne of resorts and
street spots including some of our very own UK domes and dryslopes. Released as a series
of web videos last season this is the complete Vacation Tour with added extras and bonus
footage.

YES. It’s A Movie Too is the second team movie from YES. Head honchos Romain De
Marchi, DCP, JP Solberg and Tadashi Fuse are joined on screen by an ever growing YES.
family including Frank April and Helen Schettini. If you like out and out killer backcountry
freestyle and insane power riding (and even a few awesome jibs) then this is definitely the film
for you.

The tour kicks off in November and runs through December. All dates are FREE to attend, we
have give-aways galore plus the now legendary Salomon Snowboards and Bonfire pick n mix.
All screenings start at 8pm, no tickets required but get there on time to avoid disappointment.

It can be as dark as you want – this park still looks a lot of fun. And Park City at night also means the park is pretty much empty but for these hoodlums: Cody Rosenthal, Knut Eliasen, Ben Bilodeau,Matty Moriarty, Scotty Arnold, Alex Sherman, Griffin Siebert, Mike Ravelson, Spencer Schubert, Alex Andrews, Parker Duke, Sam Taxwood, Alex Rodway, and Caleb Flowers.
