Good Times Japan Tour By Eero Ettala

For riding powder, Japan is my favorite place on earth. This February I had a chance to join Mint Tours camp with two of my great friends Heikki Sorsa and Antti Jussila for some soul shredding with the campers. We flew to Tokyo and took a train and a bus from the airport to Alts-Bandai ski resort for a seven-day powder filled vacation, enjoy!

Swallow tail doesn’t only mean riding powder. Antti Jussila goes for a tail scraper on the rainbow box. (Shot with Black Eye Full-Frame Fisheye)

Can you spot Eero in this picture? Slashing the groomers with a view, that never gets old. (Shot with Black Eye Tele 3x)

Eero Ettala proves that size matters. Nose bonk on his new pow board. (Shot with Black Eye Tele 3x)

The first morning of the trip before heading up Antti Jussila decided to get hippie on us all. (Shot with Black Eye Tele 3x)
