I think it's safe to say this is one of my favorite zones I have ever came across on my snowboard, and the conditions were perfect. This was the day after a really deep powder day, the snow had time to settle just a bit overnight, the sun came out, and we were able to find perfect untouched lines through trees and off drops. I was out snowboarding with my friends Bo, Andreas, Yanick and Rav, and we ran into Casey and Daly on our second lap! The resort we are riding is called Hanazono in Niseko, Japan and I highly recommend exploring it if you are in the area. I was also testing the Jones Mind Expander Snowboard and was very happy with how it performed. Overall dream day snowboarding in Japan.

Bro TJ you’re so good at wiping the lens💀gotta give props for that 😆

[@ididntseeaamvwiththissongs3472]

ikrrrrrrr, I watched a vid where the guy wiped the lens once and it didn't do anything so you couldn't see.

[@KarelSeeuwen]

Nobody can wipe that well !!!. "Board Archive", it's in the name; this Dude is obviously some Doritos munching lounge surfer with a panache for creating videos with AI from old archived video. There is no such place as Niseko, don't believe anything of what you see here.

[@deathbyskill7239]

I honestly get goosebumps Seing you guys snowboarding in these conditions

[@ellstackeradventures]

So perfect huh

[@AndreasSchubertSnow]

those trees that start at 3:27 are pure joy! What a sick line! Majestical!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yessss

[@BoardArchive]

One of my favorite ever! Such a sick day! Glad you were there!

You guys need to link up with Casey and Daly more often ! Love the content TJ, keep it up.

Yewwww

[@tahamto7780]

these edits without music is the besst, sound of pure powder greater than anything..

[@kosovir]

Marko Grilich GRILO forever in our hearts !

[@user-vz2ei7sg1b]

Wow what an epic day. Absolutely loved this one tj

[@msarair2]

watching this put me at ease.

[@WadeHartley]

Good music, good lines, good vibes, and lots of pow

[@TheBurtonian]

Great video. Like the colourgrading of those sunny shots. You made blue pop out magnicifent.

[@ellstackeradventures]

Right homie so great

[@pglukhov]

Your videos help my snow withdrawal syndrome, TJ

[@RobGams]

Love this edit man. Laid back pow line vibes with the dudes. Love the music too my man. 🤙🏼

[@noaprxd]

This is my dream

[@kirishima_orange]

ニセコの雪は最高🤘

[@Thomas-dp8eb]

He should get some windshield vipers for that camera lens haha great video btw

[@chuck__van]

Others have also said it but your editing and music selection is so on point TJ. Riding Casey and Brian would have been a scream 😄

[@williamhunter2213]

On my way to Niseko and Rusutsu tomorrow... Awesome video, can't wait to check out strawberry fields!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Strawberry field is crazy bring ur A game and traverse for a long ways

[@pkking678z]

3:27 we all have felt this once, and will never forget it

[@austin3873]

Not even close to everyone has felt that😂

[@smorr220220]

You were feeling it that second lap. Nice

[@KarelSeeuwen]

"We had to walk to school; up hill both ways". When i frequented Niseko 30 years ago, the walk out was never groomed. If you wanted first tracks, you had to break trail on the road out.

[@cpayne6]

Loved the video! Rode my Mind Expander for the first time in Japan this year. First time on a board without full camber so wasn't sure what to expect but man that thing rips! So fun through powder, trimming along banks and slashing turns! I don't think my full addiction for Japow will ever be satisfied! You just want more ans more!

[@ellstackeradventures]

So epic huh i loved japan

[@Shred1904]

What a day. Speechless conditions.

[@chuck__van]

The only thing speechless were the conditions .... Yeeeeeeewww!!!!

[@fysiobabe1]

i love your vids man

[@maxroy5246]

Looks *heavenly* I can’t wait to use my epic pass in CO this year.

[@macau.friend]

Hi TJ, thought u guys had left Japan already. Was in Annupuri yesterday. Blue bird during day time allowed my friends and I explore the peak and valley, while snowfall in the afternoon gave us lots of fresh powder for night time snowboarding. All in all, awesome conditions.

[@user-qk4gl7pi8f]

Back in my days... we had to hike to the school... and it was up the hill... BOTH WAYS! God that made me laugh)))))

[@za6089]

Happy！I will snowboard tomorrow. Watching this video makes me want to go there！！😉

[@kaikelly9409]

Beautiful!! You deserve more subs

[@mattrankin2587]

nice free flow line finding

[@inmotion_snow]

superb day, great edit! those runs must be at the top of the top of all runs

[@chuck__van]

Yes!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Dude that's so funny seeing your title to this video because I was going to name my next video something like this

[@sublimehoneybee]

This would be an awesome screen saver🔁! And good 🎶music choice as per usual 🎵

[@sterlingschlyer7392]

That was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen

[@fearsomelegend7512]

That looks like so much fun

[@davidb1555]

Yo TJ! Any plans on getting more stickers in stock? Been waiting ages! Much love dude!

[@donelive9582]

thx for wiping the camera you are da best :)

[@bighead725]

What???? Andreas!!! I think it's dope that a lot of you guys I check out on the Tube actually know eachother and ride together. Would love to catch you guys riding some time and link up for a run or two

[@MrTooSlowForToast]

I’m a skier but I find it nicer to watch snowboarders

[@jasonfrost5025]

Looks amazing. I'd definitely hit all of those trees though.

[@powsurf1250]

Awesome! Where you guys planning to be for the next couple of days, hopfully we'll be able to run into you guys, lol

[@domgrimard2088]

You should really check out Furano next time you visit Hokkaido. I thought Niseko was great until I went to Furano.

[@afkvisuals]

SICK! Question, is there a reason you prefer the helmet strap over the sticker? I'll be using my Hero 8 for the first time this month and I have both options.

[@kataquino7796]

sweeetttt!!!!

[@stefanholl9502]

lol missing out the riding somehow, but nice u got a gopro

[@CharlieCushing]

What are these two backing tracks you're using? it's really great music!

[@rip1264]

I love your channel so much. Stop speed checking so much

[@emilianpopov9699]

Beat ya Ell

[@inmotion_snow]

right on

[@chuck__van]

Hhahajahaja

[@mtb_clxrx7320]

Wow

[@TraderJCpennies]

What GoPro mount do you use for POV’s like this. I’ve used a mouth mount with my hero 5 and I can never get my board and the horizon in the vids. And it shakes a ton

[@Voidclown.]

Back in my day, we hiked to school and it was uphill both ways 6:40

[@inmotion_snow]

genius 😂

[@SnowboardPanda]

Haha was that a Shel Silverstein reference?

[@Visigothicwarrior]

I´m goofy. watching your videos under first person gives me the urge to switch. :)

[@KevAlberta]

I’m converting to regular. So then my switch riding (goofy) will look natural since it was my dominant stance lmao

[@beaudelobelle4093]

hey man what goggles are you wearing in the vid? discription says Anon but looks like dragon to me?

[@krisztiankovacs3577]

Epic!!!🤩🤩🤘👊🏂 Mind expander vs Korua Dart in powder...??😉 What do you think??👊

[@tatiansheva]

Hey TJ, you're awesome dude! what a trip! wauuu! I'm from Argentina, I am planning a trip to Canada or USA for snowboarding next year, I did not have enough budget for this year, anyway....my question for you is, what would you recommend, Vail, Aspen, Whistler, Banff or some other? Thanks bro

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yewww

[@djfries9566]

Aspen or Whistler fs

[@Luc._]

dude was just getting pounded in the face by snow lmaoooo thats the dream

[@Vyby]

How long does a run down mountain take you guys? and how many runs a day do you guys get in?

[@oiyus]

Hi Tj, would you prefer a 154 or 158 for your specs? Thanks

[@rancidhotmail]

TJ what is your favourite powder board?

[@colbywaters923]

Hey what view setting do you use for your GoPro?

[@crimsonproject]

What was the best do-it-all japow board you've tried this trip that can also be just as good at home in north america? Not necessarily a pure POW board but one that can hold its own at local resorts?

[@caspiankai5070]

So dope! Looking forward to that Mind Expander review. Trying to decide between this and an Endeavour Archetype for a pow deck for next season!

[@stevros48]

Ive got both and I think the expander gives way better float , as an all around board that carves superbly the archetype but for pow Mind expander no question but the archetype is pretty good in pow.

[@kacperszeliga2411]

how does this only have 30k views... this needs to be up there wtf

[@jasonfrost5025]

Cuz no one is doing triple twirly backflip spin launches with knuckle drags and 50' drops to 5' runoffs or something

[@terjeaittamaa4444]

Hugga DIF!

[@nico74321]

How do you switch heel to toe on deep powder and ungroomed trails? I always caught an edge and fall when I'm on my toe side😭

[@taylormccrohon-hall4866]

This is my dream right now, im too young to travel by myself and i dont have the money but i am going one day

[@Bad_Riders]

Tj is deff more ballsey than me that shot at the start in clouds would have me sticking to an edge...

[@bob6693]

Hey, out of all the places you’ve ever ridden, how does japan stack up? Cheers

[@owenspencer828]

You know it’s a good snow day if you have to wipe the lens every other second.

[@DopamineAddiction]

need dat beat!!!

[@viper3269]

[@Soloriderpowder]

How ru filming? What do u use for this film

[@deniskozlov6683]

Do you think its worth bringing your own gear to Japan? Is renting it just fine? Man I wanna go to Japan so bad, what time of year do they have most snowfall?

[@alinush144hz5]

this is my wet dream

[@dylanlewis6355]

is this Backcountry or resort?

[@willard4]

Million dollar idea... a windshield wiper for GoPros

[@user-vq4oe1tj3j]

First test of my Snow Joe was a massive blizzard that dropped 20+ inches of snow with drifts well over 3ft. kzbin.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN This snow thrower is definitely not designed for this much snow but it powered through it. We did have to knock down taller drifts with a shovel and at times the chute was awkward because snow banks were much higher than it could throw, but still much easier than shoveling. The plus side of the small size is the maneuverability. Easy to lift up to walkways and works in tight spaces near cars. Highly recommend.Note: after assembling it started but did not turn. The belt wasn't in place. Easy fix.

[@dayinthelifeofandrew5270]

Yoooo how do you mount your camera so it shows the ground and stuff ahead of you but also shows your board

[@BoardArchive]

helmet strap in superview mode. play around with the tilt of the camera until it looks how you like 👍🏼

[@davidmurphy9916]

that gave me a semy

[@lunrfrost3216]

I always have trouble snowboarding the trees because I have trouble slowing down. Any suggestions?

[@alec2243]

Just curious how much you weigh TJ? I ride a 154 mind expander at a 160ish lbs. I notice a lot of 158's on the hill. Have you ridden a 154 ME?

[@Matthew-re9pb]

Check out the new K2 Alchemist for 2021 if u can Looks dope

[@bonobo8101]

ich liebe sie

[@SnowboardPanda]

I really want to ride one of those one-person chair lifts haha. Has anyone found one of those somewhere in the States?

[@mitchsaviano5931]

Snowboard Panda at mad river glen in Vermont

[@SnowboardPanda]

Sweet!

[@chuck__van]

A bit intimidating at first but not as scarry as it seems. Come to Japan with us next year Panda!!
